As I listen to President Obama's tepid response to the cruel murders of protesters in Iran, which brings back memories of Tianamin Square, I realize something subtle, or maybe not so subtle, that bothers me about him. When he speaks about America, he lacks any sense of passion for America, for liberty, for freedom from tyranny. Listen to John F. Kennedy when he said in his inaugural address: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
Contrast that with Obama's statement on the Iranian election:
Where is the passion for liberty? Where is the passion for America? You decide if this is the kind of leader you want for America. There will be an election in 3 1/2 years.
