The report is that in 50 cities in Iran, more people voted than were eligible to vote. Now we know why Obama has been silent on the issue. His pals at ACORN and in the Democrat Party must have branched out.

All kidding aside, I know it’s a conservative cliche to say “Welcome back, Carter” in regards to Obama and how he’s operating, but man, as someone who lived through the Carter years, the similarities are disturbing. Carter screwed up in regards to Iran, and here Obama may be doing the same thing. A possible — though not guaranteed — friendlier government is in the making over there, and Dear Leader is sitting on his hands. I’m sure that if/when the Iranian revolution does come and new leaders are in place, they’ll look back and remember how America basically abandoned them in their quest for freedom.

Not that that matters to the left at all. They have a sort of kinship with Iran right now: on the one hand you have a left-wing thug in power who wants to destroy Israel and America. And on the other, there’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Birds of a feather and all that.

Update: I’m not the only one to reference ACORN, btw. Jammie Wearing Fool did, too…and Don Surber makes the “Chicago” connection, as well.
