TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blasted the US administration for its deceitful policies, and warned that US President Barack Obama will have to face an end far more embarrassing than what his predecessor, George W. Bush, encountered.
As regards the future of the US administration, the Iranian president stated, "I believe that he (Bush) left the scene of politics with shame, but his successor (Obama) will have to leave the scene of politics with much more shame because of his resort to both force and deception."
The President is responsible for the implementation of the Constitution and for the exercise of executive powers, except for matters directly related to the Supreme Leader, who has the final say in all matters.
The Supreme Leader is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, controls the military intelligence and security operations; and has sole power to declare war or peace.
Here goes, the leader of Iran is NOT Ahmadinejad, he is the president, and wields powers akin to a mayor.
Unlike Bush, who stood on principle and wasn’t a populist? It’s been 10 years, so maybe people have forgotten the platform of non-interventionism Bush ran on.

Obama stands neither on principle or on policy. He is a populist, and an incompetent one at that.
Iran feared Bush? I must’ve missed that when I was listening to all the Ahmadinejad speeches defying the United States during Bush’s term.
At least Iran feared Bush... they just feel bad for Obama.

Actually, A-jad is quite savvy and intelligent. Sure, it is easy to call all fanaticals of any religion a nut-job, I can agree with that, and that goes across the board for all religions, look at our own Westboro "Christians."
Anyhow, A-jad is the leader of an important Middle Eastern country, and he has been playing the global political game quite well.
Unfortunately, Obama is a TERRIFIC speaker, but not so good in a room full of terrific LEADERS! I wouldn't want to see him go up against A-Jad, Medvedev, Putin, Castro, or my Dad! Obama is an orator, nothing more. He will squeek through his 4 years, and the US will survive due to our military might, but it seems silly to criticize someone like A-jad that has proven themselves tenacious, while we sit here with a lame-duck figurehead for another year and a half.

But yeah man, I’m with you! At least they feared us! What’s that military motto? “Let them hate us, so long as they fear us!” USA USA USA
Let’s all pretend Obama was the only politician that ran on one thing and did another when he got into office, and that under Bush we were much better and our nation prospered.
Bush 2012: Because Americans have short memories.
In my world, being “trigger happy” isn’t a virtue, particularly in a commander-in-chief.

Right or wrong, Bush had foreign nations spooked because he was a little trigger happy - Obama just has them laughing at how easy playing him is.

We have been jumping into too many armed conflicts without pausing and thinking things through first. We need less “trigger happy” Presidents, not more.
