Iranian protesters burn Obama pictures

They must not know that Obama hasn't been sworn in yet... they should be burning photos of Dubya.

It's only a week, they're just trying to get a jump on things.

Doesnt he share equal power w/ Bush? (for the time being)
That's crazy though. Their ignorance saddens me.

This has little to do with Obama, and more to do with rightwing Iranians hating the existence of Israel.

The whole protest is staged like a movie anyway. They might as well be paid extras.

About time Iran did something right.

It seems like the propaganda wars on all fronts is working prior Obama’s inauguration.

1) Israel: to provoke Palestinians by shutting off water, electricity, food and humanitarian relief to fire a few small missiles and to retaliate with unimaginable force. All of this mind you before Obama becomes president where they could get away with killing as many people as they want and to totally level Gaza without the intervention of the US.

2) Iran's right wing: Condemning the west and accusing Obama of being partly responsible by not condemning the war even though he is not president yet. By doing this Iran can make Obama seem like just another US president that doesn't care about Muslims.

3) The American media: covering this war like Isreal is the only victim and showing that the Iranians are up to their usual madness of hating America.

Well executed on all sides………

isnt the problem America so why would the want us there

Is disgustingly ironic that they accuse the US of inaction while Iran themselves does nothing except from the shadows and under the table. These ridiculous displays do nothing more than multiply hate and misunderstanding.

dumb asses

I need help with this. Isn't Gaza supposed to be independent of Isreal? Did Isreali troops not leave Gaza and allow them their own sovereignty before the rocket fire began? So Isreal shutting off the power and water they provided to Gaza, while closing its own borders to Gaza is wrong how? Isn't it Gaza's own responsibility to acquire those things as an independent state?

They just can't wait to hate this guy.

WOW! did you people forget the debates with Obama and McCain??? Obama said clearing we need to pull out of Afghanistan and go after Palestinian Terrorists...Holy Cow we all forget???? this was planned months ago..I'm not a Arab nor a Jew but whats going on there is screwed up..I guess Bush was running around with one eye Obama most likely has no eyes just worryin about the money..remember thats what we asked for..a better economy so he will focus on that and every1 over there can get away with what they want...maybe a year later or so we will have guilt and make a national day for the suffering over there...just like what we do with every1 else...lets chant together for the big change OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA <-----how stupid we are for electing this clown

Librelover:

It's Israel that blew up their water supplies in 2001 and infrastructure that made them dependant of Israel. Israel needs the Palestinians to be completely dependant of them so they can bully and oppress them.

Israel does not want an independent Palestine. That's why every few years they systematically destroy the palestinian infrastructure and try to limit all aid.

Bush is still president, people..

One week couldn't come any sooner.

Why do people post these type of things? Current.com members love Islamic Extremists and don't care for a US President. At the end, is some pig that is against the Legalization of the drugs you want so much. Right?

The moment that Iranian people will stop burning the American flag is once a Muslim is the US President and by then, it won't be called United States of America.

OMG! THEY BURNED A PICTURE OF OBAMA! Who gives a shit..Meanwhile in other news kids are getting blown up in Gaza.

They might as well be burning pictures of puppies.

ah...I can't think of a time when there hasn't been Iranian demonstrators burning photographs of various Americans.

I thought the whole world would love us and there would be a renewed respect and warm and fuzzy feelings for America across the globe if only we elect The Great Obama, wasn't that the hype? The Messiah was going to bring peace and joy to the whole world, what happened to that, Obama groupies?

Obama groupies? Barack Obama isn't even in office yet. I can understand Iranians not understanding the balance of power, but I thought you John A. had more sense.

Why does Obama need to be characterized asThe Messiah for one to hope we can recover from the past 8 years of Republicans "decidership". George W. didn't care to lead. Just ask him, he would tell you, "I'm the decider". I'm hoping for leadership, decidership hasn't worked out so well.

C'mon Iranians.. you dont even know the guy. Besides its not the Americans who are attacking the Palestines. Its the Israelis. Israel might be Americas stooge but the ultimate responsibilities fall on those who does the deed

I would like to just say that i heard from a friend who has a friend who has lived in the middle east. And he said that the majority of these protests are staged by the government. What the government does is offer money and food to the poor citizens of these countries to protest and burn flags and efigies. And you cant blame them sometimes, thats the only way they will get to eat that week.

What is it with extreme arabs and burning things?

These people and you haters that comment just can't wait until all the satire is about Obama. I feel sorry for him because he is almost too good to watch get bashed like this! By Americans and abroad, I know we have had a bad 8 years, but HOPE is the whole point.

Anyone have any idea what Roosevelt did when he got ellected.... He went on vacation for 2 months! That was in the thick of the great depression. Now we have an administration that knows we are months from the worst of things and he has been working his tail off to appoint his cabinet and assure us that he is working. He is legit people, come on!

If you ever wanted a reason not to live in a thecracy look no further. I pity Hillary Clinton for having to deal with these people.
