Her Name is Neda
The Globe Opinion June 23, 2009- She lies in the Tehran street with her headscarf half-off. Scarlet blood gushes from her nose and mouth and courses across her pale face. Men and women scream in horror as they realize she is dying. Read more…

According to Fox News Hillary was prevented from speaking out for 2 days because Obama wanted to wait. I did not need them to tell me that- she has been prevented from doing and saying a lot of things she would like to say – we have her track record over the course of 35 years ‘as proof of her stand on human rights. She stood up in China and said Women’s rights are Human Rights”
Sadly we also have his record and his own words on how he would rather play nice while women are murdered in the streets. And all he had to say in Cairo was Women has a right to cover their faces but not mention they have a right not to- the coward!
But lately, his can’t-we-all-just-get-along approach has run into serious trouble. Last Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, blasted Obama’s moderate response to the government crackdown after the disputed presidential election in Iran. “The president of the United States is supposed to lead the free world, not follow it,” Graham said on ABC’s This Week. “He has been timid and passive more than I would like.”
Obama has dealt with the criticism in typically genial fashion. At his White House news conference Tuesday, he denied that his response to the government crackdown in Iran was tepid. He said he has taken a balanced approach—between supporting reformers and, on the other hand, not meddling in Iranian affairs, which he fears could backfire and inflame anti-American sentiment in Iran and throughout the Mideast. and added: “I strongly condemn these unjust actions.”
It’s not Just Fox and the conservatives now – no Hillary may yet speak out and the Democrats may yet realize they have seats coming up for election soon or maybe just maybe their consciences may bother them . Or maybe their constituents might get off their asses and start calling in and telling them to act like representatives for a change? Ya think? Instead of keeping us busy with all these promises that none of these folks even read before he shoves them through.
Democrats in Congress would like him to take a stronger stand on his signature initiatives—specifically to clarify which provisions of an emerging health-care overhaul he will insist on and which ones he will refuse to accept. He is similarly faulted for letting fellow Democrats in Congress take the lead in fashioning energy legislation, immigration bills, spending priorities, and other high-priority measures without much clear direction from him, the critics say.
Is this what we really bargained for the ramming through of a bunch of unread bills and the ignoring of details while the whole world collapes around us and women are totally ignored? Our SOs is made less and less signifcant and CZAR’s who are held accountable to no one mounting by the dozens.
Rise Hillary Rise- this time we will march with you for justice and democracy and to have our votes count and to be heard! Rise!
