I clipped this sentence from @willhelm's commentary here http://bit.ly/JvZes. Though i agree with this idea, i worry that if Obama were to meddle in this too much and make it about him, it could backfire terribly.

This might sound naive, but i'm hoping and believing that via social media - particularly Twitter, Americans are making it very clear that we support the Iranian people - perhaps in ways that are more effective and powerful than anything one person could say (even if that person is the President of the United States).

I don't think anyone expects Obama to meddle. I agree that that could have disastrous consequences. However, there is much Obama can do. I have clip about 5 things Obama can do. However, it is absolutely disgusting beyond pale to absolve his role as the leader of the FREE world.

pop for Willhelm's insights

Iran is at this point because this administration changed how we engaged with Iran. The corrupt, backward regime in Tehran could no longer lean against 'the great satan' to prop itself up. Obama's policy of engagement is a huge success in only 6 months. Some might choose now as a time to doubt his strategy. But the strategy of many of those who are now making the loudest noise was an abject failure. Why anyone would listen to them now is beyond me.
