Yes. He needs to express support for the protesters. Comments:
Obama is WORTHLESS!!!
At the very least he needs to make a clear statement saying that the US is opposed to the violence.
He's a wimp just like most Democrats.
The Time To "Cut Bait" Is Over.
He is to passive. We need to see his strength like our other presidents. But doubt we are going to see it. Just keep praying for the people. Prayer is strong. This regime will say we are some how at fault anyway.
We should support the Iranian desire for freedom from this Islamic dictatorship. Our country has always stood for freedom of all people. Obama, being the politician he is, waited to check which way the wind was blowing in the polls, ala Bill Clinton, before condemning the brutality of the Iranian government. But he still has not uninvited the Iranian delegation to our July 4th independence and freedom celebration. Obama is naive to think he can sweet talk these brutal governments into changing their ways. He is a classic case of appeasement at any cost, and it will hurt us in the long run. It is somewhat ironic that those who say we should stay out of the affairs of Iran and Iraq want us to interfere in the affairs of the brutal black African governments. We should be standing for freedom for all people.
He's making us the worlds doormat.
Do what is RIGHT!
His inexperience on the international stage is obvious. He has done the impossible and managed to offend both Mousavi and Ahmadinejad.
He hasn't a clue! What more can you expect from him surrounding himself with terrorists. Bill Ayers to name one.

No. We shouldn't meddle in their affairs. Comments:
We have done too much meddling, we need to let them sort it out themselves.
we need not lose any more of your men and women in war!!!
After eight years of cowboy diplomacy let's give Barack a chance-I'm sure Iran is capable of settling their differences without our interference.
If he got involved he'd be crucified for meddling,by doing nothing and letting them handle their own affairs he's at least keeping the U.S. from getting blamed.Wait lets just invade them and get it over with like Dubya wouldv'e done
Obama has a much more competent foreign policy team than the Bush administration did. Notice how countries will fight for their freedom themselves if you just let them be? Iran is greatly misunderstood by the West-everyone should read Reading Lolita in Tehran and the rebuttal, Jasmine and Stars, to get a sense of the rich culture and sophisticated people that call themselves Iranians and Persians. If we get too involved it will play right into the hands of the current power structure in Iran, and could seriously jeopardize our plans for nuclear security.
I am confused as to why some Republicans are now out and about telling everyone that we need to butt ourselves in and join with the Iranian people-sounds like a bleeding heart liberal opinion, don't you think?
Either way, I doubt most people voting in a newspaper poll in Indiana are qualified to offer sound advice about the issue, considering prevailing opinions of Muslims here.
No! He is taking the only reasonable approach, cautious. We have meddled in nearly every countries private and sovereign affairs since I can remember. We usually end up in war, killing thousands of innocent people that we love to claim we are helping. We cannot make a difference in a region like Iran. We just found out Iraq rebuked us. While we lost 4000+ of our kids, and killed over 100,000 innocent civilians meddling where we were not wanted.
I don't remember Iran butting into our election in 2000 when it was under investigation. McCain needs to just shut his big, fat mouth!
We already have two wars we are fighting: Iraq and Afghanistan. North Korea may be next so why should we strong-arm Iran?
Iran has used the United States as an excuse for all previous uprisings, political and economic issues. It is most wise for us to stand on the sidelines for now and allow the Iranian people to wage their own uprising. In this manner a more permanent change can be affected.
it is odd when a few prance around the "barnyard" strutting their stuff when they are not the ones that will lay their lives or bodies down for such foolish saber rattling - if that isn't bullying behavior then someone please help me define it properly!
I vote NO although I reject you additional qualifier. Let us choose our reason for voting Yes or No..
at this point in history we should be very quiet in our dealings with Iran... when things settle we must revaluate what's the next step... but I agree with what's being said today... in a state of flux is no time to be running off at the mouth... Bush didn't get this one... I just hope that Obama doesn't make the Bush administration look good enuf to have back....
Just because those people want change we must remember that they still hate Americans.
Maybe we should send W and Cheney to Iran to save the world. Big Dick surely would place himself in harms way to save the US.
