Hell has frozen over! Pat Buchanan supports Obama on Iran....

[240 is Back]

Conservative commenter Pat Buchanan rarely has kind things to say about Barack Obama. But on the issue of the Iranian election, Buchanan has emerged as an unlikely supporter of the president's approach.

In a Townhall column Tuesday, Buchanan analyzed the presidential election results and commented on the implication of the outcome for Iran and America.

Buchanan writes: "Obama, with his outstretched hand, his message to Iran on its national day, his admission that the United States had a hand in the 1953 coup in Tehran, his assurances that we recognize Iran's right to nuclear power, succeeded. He stripped the Ayatollah and Ahmadinejad of their clinching argument -- that America is out to destroy Iran and they are indispensable to Iran's defense."

Buchanan is not alone among conservatives in taking this moment to stand behind the president.

Hugo, I think you give too much credit to Hannity. He isn't anything other than pond scum.

Obama is very smart to just stay outta things over there. 

Hannity mad Obama's not getting involved - which would only unite the population behind ahmedijahad.

it's like seeing your two worst enemies beating the shit out each other in an alley.  Do you REALLy want to call the police and break it up?  Or do you just have a drink, smile, and enjoy the show?

Also, I'd like to see what hannity thinks obama shuold do.  Would anyone here do anything besides just wait and let the world and iran population bash ahmedijahad?

I don't give him any credit.  If you've read my posts on Hannity, you would know this   I've frequently pointed out that.  For years he was a neocon propaganda outlet, right up to the day they lost power at which point he switched overnight and pretended he was always a conservative.  In other words the guy has no political loyalties on the right.  He'll do and say whatever to keep his job of annoying us all.  No credit given, I see this as a well earned and accurate insult.

wow!!!  That's a great idea... I agree 100%  Several past administrations do not and the worst offenders seem to have been republican administrations.
