The Preamble of the Constitution, “We the People of the United States,
in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure
domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the
general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and
our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United
States of America.”

Our founding fathers wrote this for a reason. It set up what was to
follow in the body of an amazing document. A document that has
withstood the test of time, and has given everybody that reads this,
freedom and ensures it on a daily basis. When the Constitution was
written there were no true free people in the world. Not one nation or
country had a government as Abraham Lincoln put it, “a government of
the people, by the people, for the people”.

Through the decades and centuries since the Constitution was written,
America wasn’t the topic of folklore told in faraway lands, she wasn’t
a secret. Every person in the world that wanted to live free and have
an opportunity to prosper came to her shores. Not one person in the
world, unless they grew up in a cave without knowledge knows America is
a place like no other.

Being a place such as America we have carried the burden of world. Most
of our Presidents understood our purpose. Since its founding it was set
up to be an example of what the world could be. When the founding
fathers stroked their signatures on the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights, they didn’t realize it would be that example necessarily, but
they knew it would be like no other place.
Beyond the purpose of being the example of a free country, we have
become the spokesperson for freedom. When people are being oppressed,
we stand up. When people are suffering by the hands of another, we
give. So what’s going on? How is it that America’s purpose and past has
flown over the head of our Commander in Chief?

Right now as I type this, Iranian people are dying. Of course people
are dying every day in every country. But they are not dying because
they are standing up for what America represents; freedom. It was as
obvious as the sun rising at dawn that their election was a fraud. So
they did what any wronged people would do. Protest the results and
demand action to fix the outrage. We are watching thousands and
millions of men and women marching, shouting, and crying out for
fairness (what we represent) and all Obama said was, “You've seen in
Iran some initial reaction from the supreme leader that, uh, indicates,
uh, he understands the Iranian people have deep concerns about the
election. Uh, it's not productive given the history of US-Iranian
relations to be seen as meddling “(Typed directly from his comments
while watching the video of his comments. All the ‘uh’s’ is the reason
I’m letting this be known).

Really? That’s it? What? As the person that leads the country that is
the only pure representative of freedom, that’s all you say? What is he
missing? He’s missing the point of our country, and the purpose that we
have taken under our wing. He's not seeing the symbol we are supposed
to emit for every man women and child that wants freedom. The bat
symbol is behind the clouds circling his head. When Regan stood up and
called Russia evil, and demanded that they “tear down this wall” was he
meddling in affairs of another? No, he was trying to free people from
tyranny and the hardships of communism. Did he do it with force? No, he
did it with his words and smart negotiations of “trust but verify”.
Imagine if Regan wouldn’t have spoken up for those people, or stood on
the values of American freedom. People who lead this country are bound
by the words and ideals of our forefathers. They are expected to
announce to the world when people are being wronged. They are to stand
up for the freedom we have and others want.

In 1989 China’s Tiananmen Square, a situation that seems eerily similar
to what’s going on in Iran; young students were quoting Lincoln,
Jefferson, and Madison. As they stood up against an army massacring
their fellow countrymen and women, they shouted the great words spoken
by our forefathers and understood what we are, and wanted what has been
set before us and given to every generation to come. How is it that
everybody but our President understands what America is and its
purpose?

Mr. President, I ask that you get the testicular fortitude in which you
so desperately need, and stand up for the people that right now need it
most. Take a break from your daily grind of trying to get another
bureaucratic trillion dollar gaggle shoved through Congress and say,
“The Iranian Government needs to realize their people have spoken, and
have spoken with their hearts, minds, and now their blood. They have
voted and you have cheated them out of their desires. You have
unleashed violence that has raised the temperature of an already large
fire. I urge you to listen to the people of Iran, and move forward
along their side as opposed to scolding the freedom they so desire.”

But he won’t do that; he won’t stand up for the people that need him
to. These people are not asking him send troops, to bomb the capital or
to park the North Atlantic Fleet off the coast. They want his words.
The words he loves to use but for whatever reason has lost at the
moment. When will he find those words? He wants the world to come
together, for everybody to love us, and to love him. I got news for you
Mr. President; giving strength to those who need it and when they need
it goes a lot farther than you’d think. Give it shot. I bet you
standing up for the Iranians right now would make you more popular
among the Muslim world than any speech you give at an Egyptian
University. If you want the Muslim world to like us, why aren’t you
standing up for them? Those in Iran right now have a desire for
something that resembles freedom. Why the silence sir? Cat got your
tongue?
