I may be a little miffed at President Obama for his inertia on gay rights, but in his press conference today, he masterfully silenced those who insisted he get more forceful about the Iranian elections.
When he chooses to make a clarifying statement on any topic, nobody does it better.
His words about Iran will embolden the protesters, diminish the credibility of the Iranian dictatorship that stole the election, and win the respect of people all over the world, all the while appearing to keep his hands off the outcome.
Good job, Barack.
