don't stop using common sense, Obama

Obama talks tougher on Iran violence

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Tuesday declared the United States and the entire world "appalled and outraged" by Iran's violent efforts to crush dissent and for the first time expressed significant doubt about the legitimacy of the national election at the root of the upheaval.

The president suggested that Iran would face consequences for brutally beating back protest, warning that the way the country responds in the days ahead will shape its relationship with other countries, including the United States. He would not specify what any punishment might be.

He has to walk a fine line here. Getting involved helps no one - per all the experts.
Too bad he is so far to the right of center. We were hoping for a liberal-leaning president for a change!
