A spontaneous gesture of disapproval? Hardly. ABC caught him waving at the White House press corps intermittently to get their attention. He may be a cretin, but he’s a media-savvy cretin.
Here’s the transcript of his speech. Nine pages in all, composed in his trademark turgid “Up With People” meets “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” style.
Update: He must be joking.
Below is a Statement from Senator Barack Obama on President Ahmadinejad’s Remarks
“I strongly condemn President Ahmadinejad’s outrageous remarks at the United Nations, and am disappointed that he had a platform to air his hateful and anti-Semitic views.
The threat from Iran’s nuclear program is grave. Now is the time for
Americans to unite on behalf of the strong sanctions that are needed to
increase pressure on the Iranian regime.
“Once again, I call upon Senator McCain to join me in supporting a
bipartisan bill to increase pressure on the Iranian regime by allowing
states and private companies to divest from companies doing business in
Iran. The security of our ally Israel is too important to play partisan
politics, and it is deeply disappointing that Senator McCain and a few
of his allies in Congress feel otherwise,” said Senator Barack Obama.
Am I hallucinating or hasn’t this tool made his own willingness to meet with either Ahmadinejad himself or the people who sent him to the UN the cornerstone of his foreign-policy approach?
