Helene Cooper and Sheryl Gay Stolberg of the New York Times, which has been having its own successes with contemporaneous coverage of late, live-blogs the press conference. ("In a nod to Iranians’ use of the Internet, the president calls on Nico Pitney of The Huffington Post...")
"[D]emocracy can be a bit messy." A look at marijuana advocates, UFO watchers, and others arguably "not sticking to the topics at hand" in the White House's experiments in participation.
"..."Under which conditions would you accept the election of Ahmadinejad? And if you do accept it without any significant changes in the conditions there, isn't that a betrayal of what the demonstrators there are working to achieve?".."
Reverse this question as if Obama were asking it of the Iranian questioner. What is it our business?
We have no choice but to publicly accept whatever leader comes to represent Iran regardless of our approval. It doesn't mean we support him...it doesn't mean the elections were fraudulent either or that the other candidate would deal with the US any differently.
What should happen is that we should solve problems we are facign first before we jump to other country. Like the credit repair and the recesion and the oil price hike.
The question "chosen" by HP implies that we should somehow take it upon ourselves to inject our version of what Iran should be into the picture. Who are we to demand "changes in the conditions there" and who did this questioner think they were to say WE are "betray(ing) what those demonstrators there are working to achieve" as if WE set up the conditions operating in Iran right now. The question inferred a huge load of bullshit propaganda the questioner is carrying around as if Obama and America is their savior.
