The Obama without the teleprompter is worse than Bush. He is a gifted orator, but god help him if he needs to say something off script.

yeahh it's usually 21st march, but for the past 2 years its been the 20th..it's based on spring equinox so i guess that's subject to change pretty often.

Eid mobarak, :biggrin:

The video is a good gesture, but it won't materialise without change, i.e. he needs to do something e,g, remove the pointless sanctions.

Consorting with the enemy, I see. Gain their trust, and strike whilst their guard is down. He's more intelligent, then I thought.

I love Iran's response back..."America must reverse its support for Israel"...Iranian politicians are such ****ing retards, they literally have no clue how to pursue diplomacy...

interesting approach.

though it did get kind of 'unicorny' towards the end.

and it really won't mean much if the moderates don't win the election in a few months.

lmao, you have no clue about politics in Iran, :rolleyes:

you have no clue about how the world works.

They had to say that because they don't want a devide between the moderates and the hard liners; notice how they had some reasonable demands too..

Yes genius, however, that doesn't change the fact that now very little if anything will get done, cause there's no way in hell America's going to stop supporting Israel. Iran has, in effect, taken a good offer, and thrown it back in America's face.

Still waiting for those sources from the other thread btw

The moderates are bound to win, enough is enough, Iranians are tired of 30 years of ********, the supreme leaders response to Obamas message is very promising (although, you could translate it as "they're idiots and don't know how diplomacy works.. blah blah, (democracy's ignorant post)" if you don't know how things work in Iran :rolleyes) things are progressing, but obama has to act first.
