Why are some people across the political spectrum criticizing the President's stance and tone when it comes to what is going on in Iran? Why are they insisting, pushing and demanding the President change his sentiment?
Indeed, the post-election events that are occurring in Iran are being watched ever so closely by many throughout the world. The righteous indignation's of the Iranian people are being oppressed and beaten back by their government. It is a natural inclination for the rest of the world to cry "foul and cruelty", when the media reports that peaceful protesters are being killed in cold blood by their own government. However, the President is the leader of the United States of America. What he says resonates throughout the entire world. This means that he must choose his words wisely and diligently.
