Rep. Rohrabacher: Obama Is A ‘Cream Puff’ For Not Interfering In Iran
Rep. Rohrabacher: Obama Is A ‘Cream Puff’ For Not Interfering In Iran
Yesterday, President Obama explained his relative public silence with regard to the situation in Iran, saying, “It’s not productive, given the history of U.S.-Iranian relations, to be seen as meddling, the U.S. president meddling in Iranian elections.” Later in the day, on Radio America’s Dateline Washington, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) responded to Obama’s measured statements on Iran by calling him a “cream puff” and predicting that under Obama’s leadership “things” will get “very bad, very quickly”:
DATELINE: What is the best way to approach this? … President Obama though says that we don’t want to take sides too publicly because then the ruling regime there could use us as the straw man to beat back this public uprising. How do you read this?
ROHRABACHER: Well I think that Mr. Obama, if he continues to have these types of attitudes, we’re going to see things get very bad, very quickly. Already the North Koreans have challenged him and realized that he’s a cream puff, if that is what he is indeed going to be as a President.… [N]ow if the Mullahs in Iran are permitted to just roll over opposition something like Tienanmen square, we will have missed a great opportunity.
Later in the interview, Rohrabacher said that he had distributed a video to the people of Iran that declared “we’re with them, be courageous, don’t let this moment go by” and that Ronald Reagan “always knew that — at the very least — we should be vocally supportive of all those people who are oppressed.” Listen here:
Rohrabacher’s view of Obama’s actions on Iran is not shared by some of his Republican colleagues in Congress or even some conservative commentators. Indeed, as Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) said on CBS’s Early Show yesterday, “I think for the moment our position is to allow the Iranians to work out their situation.” Likewise, Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) told Politico that Obama should “absolutely not” be more forceful on Iran. Pat Buchanan wrote on the conservative TownHall.com that “[t]he Obama policy of extending an open hand to Iran is working and ought not be abandoned because of the grim events in Tehran.”
But perhaps the most compelling endorsement of the Obama administration’s reaction to the election crisis in Iran came from Morehead Kennedy, who was held hostage for 444 days by Iranian revolutions while serving as acting head of the U.S. Embassy’s economic section in Tehran in 1979. In an interview with the Daily Beast, Kennedy “praised Joe Biden’s reaction to the protesters Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press, in which the vice president cast doubt on the election results but shied away from a more pronounced condemnation.” “It’s very counterproductive to interfere in someone else’s election. I think the best thing the U.S. can do is shut up,” he said.

Dana, baby! You’re a REAL man! Hanging out with the mujahideen over in Afghanistan, Kalishnikovs, turban and all!
June 17th, 2009 at 4:52 pmYeah, and Dana is a warmongering sh*t sandwich.
STFU, asshat.
June 17th, 2009 at 4:52 pmHere we go with a free the oppressed ideology..when these same folks were saying Iran was full of terrorists that wanted to attack America.
BTW, Kim Jong Il pulled the same stunts under the previous admin.
June 17th, 2009 at 4:53 pmWhen you’re negotiating, often the worst possible thing that could happen is for some unrelated individual to jump in and (while thinking they are doing a good thing) starting a negotiation all their own.

Yeah , because Obama’s predecessor , with all his pseudo-macho bullshit posturing and faux-cowboy/tough guy talk , sure intimidated the Iranians , the North Koreans and al Qaeda , didn’t he , you jackass ?
June 17th, 2009 at 4:57 pmWow! Deja vu all over again………Iraq redux, except more volatile because it’s in the middle of a post election riot. Just what we need–a war-mongering public official pushing for a military response to something that’s none of our business. What a Rethuglican tool!
Dana (R), why don’t you just STFU..you guys lost because that’s how you always respond to an emergency….with a fist. That worked really well over the last 8 years, didn’t it? Didn’t every country in the world just LOVE us? Bleh!
June 17th, 2009 at 4:58 pmGee, I’ve always liked cream puffs and thought they were yummy.
June 17th, 2009 at 4:58 pmSo did Rohrabacher advocate nukin’ the US after the stolen elections in 2000 & 2004?
If so, does this make him another in a long-list of right-wing terrorists?
June 17th, 2009 at 4:59 pmSpeaking of cream puffs, where is my little pretend patriot?

June 17th, 2009 at 5:04 pmOh – and why is he pretending to be a global leader when he and the other fools in California, can’t even manage their own house?
June 17th, 2009 at 5:05 pmAnd what does he expect us to do? Air strikes? This is the same as the GOPers solution to health care. A whole lot of nothing.

I’d lay odds Rohrbacher was seriously abused as a child.

June 17th, 2009 at 5:07 pmDana’s right. We should have invaded Iran yesterday because we didn’t like how their elections were handled. Just like we invaded the Ukraine in 2004.
What? We didn’t? WTF?
June 17th, 2009 at 5:08 pmSorry. Should have written “Ukraine” not “the Ukraine.” Old habits die hard.
June 17th, 2009 at 5:11 pmTo Republic Fascists like Dana Rohrabacher, the government is just a big boys club, where everyone’s hanging out in the locker room, showing off the size of their cock.

Rohrabacher needs to be either in the military or a manager at a smoke-filled convenience store. People like this are not fit to lead civilians.
June 17th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
Rohrabacher revealed that he showed up to his wartime draft physical with an X-ray of a hip he claimed had been injured in high school football. “They looked at it and they said my hip wasn’t good enough”. “When I look back on that, sometimes I wonder if I should have taken that X-ray with me or not.”
I don’t believe the military is looking for anyone like him….
June 17th, 2009 at 5:12 pmLet’s see Dana, Tienanman Square happened while Bush I was in office, your sacred Ronnie Raygun was so manly that he had to skulk around with the mullahs in an arms for hostage deal and Bush II’s macho stance created Operation Complete F#king Disaster in Iraq. Do the world a favor and shut the f__k up.

We regret that the incorrect picture was attached to the article “Rep. Rohrabacher: Obama Is A ‘Cream Puff’ For Not Interfering In Iran”. The person pictured was, in fact, “Golden Girls” star Rue McClanahan. We apologize for any confusion.
June 17th, 2009 at 5:13 pmAnd why does anyone care what a shit puff like Dana Rohrabacher has to say?
June 17th, 2009 at 5:14 pmMorehead Kennedy, who was held hostage for 444 days by Iranian revolutions, said, “It’s very counterproductive to interfere in someone else’s election. I think the best thing the U.S. can do is shut up,” he said.
Yep, that says it all…….
June 17th, 2009 at 5:15 pmAmerica needs a new elite, first strike unit. Draft all of the chicken hawks, send them through basic training and then they can be instrumental in implementing all of their whacked out plans.
Just imagine, US choppers hit the ground in Tehran and Pyong Yang. Dick Cheney commands Strike Force 1, Battlin Johnny McCain gets Strike Force 2. Once they get the wheel chairs unloaded they lead the assault, flailing about with whoopie cushions and rubber chickens and reduce the enemy to puddles of laughter.
Resistance? Launch the dirty diapers!

June 17th, 2009 at 5:18 pmPresident Obama a cream puff? These fcking wingnuts just dont get it. Eight years of bullying around the world by Bush. What exactly did that do for the U.S. and the rest of the world?
June 17th, 2009 at 5:19 pmNot a damn thing in the way of piece and stability. President Obama has been in office for 5 months trying to repair all the damage left behind by that fcking idiot bush.
I for one feel a 100% safer now that Obama has the key`s to the whitehouse. If bush and cheney were still running the country im willing to bet that they would be having meetings right now on wich city in Iran to bomb first. No matter what Obama say`s or does the right will find fault in it. Repugs are irrelevant right now, and they can only blame themselves for that. Fckoff wingnuts!
Seems Reality Check is volunteering for supplying a dirty diaper. Such patriotism.

Sandwiched between buns
Rohrabacher said that he had distributed a video to the people of Iran that declared “we’re with them, be courageous, don’t let this moment go by”
– - Oh, you mean like George Bush #41, who in Gulf War 1 let the Kurds know we’d support them if they overthrew Saddam? Yeah, how’d that turn out for the Kurds?
June 17th, 2009 at 5:27 pmYeah, we should go into Iran, kick some ass, and depose the bad guys and put someone in office that will do our bidding. Cuz that’s the democratic way…
June 17th, 2009 at 5:27 pmRonald Reagan “always knew that — at the very least — we should be vocally supportive of all those people who are oppressed
Does that mean Ronald Reagan would have been vocally supportive of all the American people who suffered under the reign of King George the War criminal?
June 17th, 2009 at 5:28 pmThanks to a very intelligent and thoughtful President Obama, America has not used its heavy imperial hand to interfere overtly in the Iranian protests and resistance to right-wing religious tyranny. Heavy-handed right-wing Republican knee-jerks like Rep. Rohrabacker (R – Mullah) would totally blow things up (literally and figuratively) in Iran with their blundering intervention, just like the idiot Bush.
What is interesting is how the right-wing religious mullah government of Iran is following the Bush-Republican playbook on stealing elections and preventlng honest recounts. Shades of the 2004 “recounts” of voting in Ohio with Blackwell and Diebold stonewalling any serious recounts.
June 17th, 2009 at 5:29 pmExcuse me, Congressman Rohrbacher, but just what is your veteran status? Did you serve? If so, was it in combat?
Or are you talking tough out of your butt like the other chickenhawk Republicans?

Obviously you’re confused as to what the word “unrelated” means.
The Speaker of the House and prominent members of the Senate are not “unrelated” people when it comes to dealing with Iraq, a country we are occupying militarily and whose government and economic stability is for the time being intimately tied to our own. As the ones who write and pass the legislation that pertains to the U.S.-Iraq relationship, they are very much “related” and thus have every right, if not every OBLIGATION to deal directly with the President of Iraq.
That is quite a different situation than Iran, with whom we have no formal diplomatic relations.
See the difference? It’s not just the first and last letters of their names, you know.
June 17th, 2009 at 5:29 pmRough and Ready Dana,is such a bad-ass but where was Dana during the bloodiest years of the Vietnam War? DOB June 21,1947
June 17th, 2009 at 5:30 pmGunga-Din Dana claimed a “ole football injury from high school” kept him from serving.
It’s never slowed him down,even till today from surfing, his favorite sport!
He’s just another loud-mouth chickenhawk starting with his hero Ronnie Ray-Gun, with a spine made of yellow-jello, when it comes to putting his arse on the line!
When you listen to the neocon repubs like Rohrabacher, it says a lot about his constituancy. The repubs seem to have a lot of Rohrabachers in their party.
June 17th, 2009 at 5:30 pmHey! Rorabacher STFU & let the grownups deal with this.MY goodness these Repuke jackasses answer to everything is military.How the heck do these idiots get elected.But it reflects the intelligence of his community,more precisely the folks who vote for this idiot.

We can’t complain about torture.
We can’t complain about starting wars for no good reason.
Next thing you know America is just going to have to sit down and STFU.
June 17th, 2009 at 5:33 pmPresident Obama is NOT acting like a creampuff…He is acting like an Adult. A well informed Adult.
And the Grown ups in the Republican Party…. among them Sen. Lugar, Ambassador Nicholas Burns, Colin Powell…think Obama is handling the Iran Situation just Right.
Most Americans don’t know about Kermit Roosevelt, and his blowback misadventure in 1953.
But you can BET the Iranians Know all about it.

June 17th, 2009 at 6:21 pmWas Reagan a cream puff for not nuking Moscow or not invading Poland? Was TR a cream puff for preaching “speak softly and carry a big stick”? Was JFK a cream puff for not bombing or invading Cuba in 1962?
June 17th, 2009 at 6:27 pmYes, things are gonna get very bad, very quickly…..For the GNOP…Now that the whole world knows that the knee jerk morons are no longer in control!!
June 17th, 2009 at 6:28 pmWay to help “send the right message” to other countries, Rohrabacher. Seriously, a Congressman stating to rogue nations that the President of the United States of America is a pushover (whether that’s true or falso) itself constitutes an attempt to “make us less safe.”
June 17th, 2009 at 6:30 pm“Well I think that Mr. Obama, if he continues to have these types of attitudes … ”
AND THAT’S PRESIDENT OBAMA YOU STUPID SH#T.
June 17th, 2009 at 6:30 pmShiite heads like Cockroabacher still believe the Chimperor was on a Mission from God to spread Chimpocracy across the M.E.
This is exactly what the Mullahs and Ahmadinejad’s followers need to further increase animosity toward the USA. They only need to point to Iraq and ask the Iranian people if they want to end up like the neighbor with a puppet government and a foreign army torturing their dissenting citizens.
F-ing chicken hawk new-clowns don’t even know when to shut up.
June 17th, 2009 at 6:32 pmAlphaLiberal Says:
Why do Republicans think belligerence is the only approach that works in foreign relations?
Because belligerence is the product one of two things. Insecurity and adolescence. In America’s case we have a double whammy because we are relatively new to the game of world politics (as a world power our history is very small) and we have a dynamic population that is easily manipulated. (Kids tend not to think of long term, they just like to kick butt.) America got rich and strong and sort of forgot where it came from.
June 17th, 2009 at 6:33 pmB.O. = Bill O’reilly?
You know it seems the world opinion of American foreign policy improves when we simply stay the |=()C|< out of the way sometimes. Not ignoring the problem, but not pretending to be world police. Looks like the right wants to recreate the roman empire here, stretch till we break.
June 17th, 2009 at 6:36 pmagreed tick. While, I think we have the oldest currently governing constitutions, we still seem to act immaturely/naively within the constructs of “the rest of the world”.
Guess until we figure out the kinks in getting 350 million people to push the stone in the same direction we’ll have to put up with this kind of frat boy tough guy attitude.
June 17th, 2009 at 6:46 pmDidn’t we get involved with Iran in 1953? Before we go in and “help” them, let’s ask how they liked the Shah we installed then.
Or we could work on our own problems and set an example at to how a democracy can function.
June 17th, 2009 at 6:50 pmI’d like to hear Rep. Rohrabacher’s plan to fix Iran’s problems for them. Please do share it with us, we’re all ears.
June 17th, 2009 at 7:07 pmI am surprised that Rep. Rohrabacher is criticizing the commander in chief of our great nation in a time of war. He must not be very patriotic. And right before the 4th of July, too. Tsk Tsk. Why does Rep. Rohrabacher hate America?
June 17th, 2009 at 7:10 pmRonald Reagan “always knew that — at the very least — we should be vocally supportive of all those people who are oppressed
And if Obama’s comments sparked an Iranian backlash, this twit would be ready to criticize him for being incendiary.
June 17th, 2009 at 7:14 pmIf other countries responded to political grandstanding the way these Republicans want to respond to just about anything, Washington, D.C. would have been carpet bombed many times over.

I hope he asks Americans to pick up the pieces and rebuild rather than kill innocent people. Why do I want President Obama to react this way? BECAUSE IT WOULD PISS OFF DICK CHENEY AND THE WHOLE ENTIRE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX WHO MAKES TONS OF MONEY KILLING PEOPLE!
June 17th, 2009 at 9:00 pmFreedom is taking to the streets to make change in your nation. This is the freedom President Obama IS NOT INTERRUPTING. Get it trolls? Dumbass-s.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:02 pmAs I mentioned a day or two ago, someone should remind — or more likely, inform — Congresscritter Rohrabacher about a certain little incident in the history of US-Iranian relations called Operation Ajax, and the fact that interfering in Iranian elections in the past came back to bite us in the backside. It was our support for the Shah and our machinations on his behalf — namely, the Eisenhower administration’s decision to oust the democratically-elected Mohammed Mossadegh in the Shah’s favor — which was at least partly responsible for the hostage crisis following the return of the Ayatollahs and the hostility which they have borne towards us ever since. Would we have reacted any differently if the situations had been reversed and it was they who had told us that we didn’t have the right to decide who our own leaders would be — especially if they claimed to be a champion of democracy but were deliberately subverting it in our case purely so that they could maintain easy access to a valuable natural resource?

June 17th, 2009 at 10:57 pmIn 1956 similar unrest began in Hungary against the Communist dictatorship closely aligned with the Soviet Union. American blowhards like Rohrabacher trumpeted their solidarity with the democratic aspirations of the Hungarians, encouraging their growing ambitions.
When the Soviet Union struck to put down the uprising,America offered no military or diplomatic support. Tens of thousands of Hungarians lost their lives.
Would Rohrabracher risk his little finger for these Iranian demonstrators. In diplomacy you have to be willing to put your life where your mouth is.
I will like to know what Rohrabacher did when Bush did not stand up to the Chinese when our Plane was shot down on the Strait of Taiwan and we were told to pickup the phone by dismantling the plane instead of flying it out. Dana lets be sincere in our criticism instead of been hypocrites.

June 18th, 2009 at 12:12 amCream puff. Hmm. Wouldn’t it be more like a chocolate eclaire?
June 18th, 2009 at 12:44 amI think the President has said before that he likes to know what he’s talkin’ about before he opens his mouth to discuss it. We cannot afford to have a knee jerk, testosterone laced reaction to a situation that requires laser-like finesse in order to impact the outcome. I found the fly-killing incident to be a great analogy of how the President is managing these issues with Iran and North Korea. He waited patiently until the right time to strike and did so with his mind focused on the end result he was looking for. Walking around with a big club only lets the target know you are coming way before you strike. How effective is that?
June 18th, 2009 at 1:00 amdemocratics are cream puffs get over it.

June 18th, 2009 at 3:12 amDana Rohrabacher is not a congenital fool; from time to time has has gotten ahead of the curve. John McCain, the presumptive grown-up in the party, has made similarly idiotic statements. Their path would undermine the reformers and legitimize repression by the hardest of hard-liners in Iran. No one outside of the squared-circle or America’s neocon hardcore thinks that US intervention would do anything but harm. Even Pat Buchannan praised President Obama’s balanced and calm statements on Iran. How can so many voices within the GOP be so stridently and obviously wrong. This is truly a party in disarray. Is there sufficient wisdom left in America’s conservative wing to stop these intemperate voices from doing irreparable harm ? This may well be a tipping point in the history of the region; it is no time for ham-handed amateurs to blow their own horns.
Congressman Rohrabacher, please, sit down and shut up.
June 18th, 2009 at 4:09 amIf this idiot wants to talk about national issues he should accept email from people outside his district. Mr Rohrabacher, your brain is full of fluff. You are a coward and a fool.

Having an American Prez speak out on behalf of Mousavi would all but guarantee Ahmedinejad would prevail. He could then replay the clip while claiming Mousavi was a pawn of the U.S, and Mousavi would lose his support, because most people in Iran think we’re total dicks.
Why do you want to help Ahmedinejad? Why? Could it be bcause you love DICTATORS?
June 18th, 2009 at 10:26 amI love that Rohrabacher feels so ‘empowered’ to threaten any country from his comfortable big chair in Washington. The reality that all these OLD men, who have lost any natural testosterone they may have had earlier in their lives, have become these ranting fools, yelling at clouds. As his partner, John McCain knows about railing at clouds, these idiots do not have a clue about foreign diplomacy or how to handle foreign affairs. They are big and strong as they hide behind others who have to make the real decisions. What rear ends these old men are. Time to kick them out of office.
