Obama got snubbed by the ever combative Iranians. For years the Democrats have been saying as soon as we got that cowboy Bush out of the White House Obama could fix all the issues we were having with Iran. Now Obama has his chance and as predicted he was told to go stick it. The problem with Democrats is they think they can talk to and negotiate with everyone. They are wrong and have always been wrong. There are some people in this world you can not negotiate with. The only thing the Iranians understand is multiple very large bombs going off in their capital. Thats when they start to negotiate with us. Look what it took for Japan to get the message, 2 large nuclear bomb. The Iranians need the same gentle persuasion.

Iran's supreme leader said Friday that world powers had been persuaded they could not block Iran's nuclear progress -- making no mention of a warm new-year's message sent by President Obama to his country, Reuters reported.
Neither Ayatollah Ali Khamenei nor Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad noted Obama's attempt to make a "new beginning" with their country in recorded messages they issued to mark the Iranian New Year.
Obama released his video Friday to coincide with the Iranian festival of Nowruz, which marks the arrival of spring. In the video, Obama said the U.S. is prepared to end the strained relations if Tehran tones down its combative rhetoric.
"This process will not be advanced by threats. We seek instead engagement that is honest and grounded in mutual respect," Obama said.
A press adviser to Iran's president downplayed the video, saying "minor changes will not end the differences."
Ali Akbar Javanfekr told the Iranian state-run English-language Press TV satellite station that Iran will never forget U.S. meddling in Tehran's affairs. The two countries broke off relations after the 1979 Islamic revolution.
