Obama's Political Laryngitis Worsens
By Carole on Dec 27, 2009
Tonight it is National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer speaking instead of President Obama. Regarding this weekend's violent crackdown on protesters in Tehran which has killed at least five people, Mr. Hammer condemned the "unjust suppression of civilians" and quoted Mr. Obama's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech saying, "It is telling when governments fear the aspirations of their own people more than the power of any other nation". (source) Why are we getting rehashed rhetoric from a third party instead of hearing from the president himself?
