Iran so far away

I hope the people of Iran get a government that they can trust. Not one they like, not one they agree with, but one that they trust. One who plays by the same rules. By most accounts, Mousavi is not better than Ahmadinejad, just different. I'd rather have a president who admits to being a little shady than one who pretends to be a saint. Kinda like the mayor of Las Vegas over George W. Bush. I'd know what to expect. And hats off to Obama for steering clear of criticizing the results. A buttload of my conservative friends (and elected officials and talking heads) had a mouthful to say when other countries' leaders expressed their disappointment in the outcomes of the 2000 and 2004 elections. Those same knobs are saying that Obama needs to be more forceful about Iran's elections. Thankfully he knows better than to get pulled into that trap.

Speaking of elections...Akron's mayor is staying put!!
