Obama still giving peace a chance in Iran

I missed the press conference while I was out doing errands and enjoying a few blissful Obama-free moments in the car with Frank. It's just as well. He makes me want to scream and rip my hair out, follicles and all. (Obama, not Sinatra.)

I think Gateway Pundit may be headed toward baldness, too:
President Clueless Says It's Not Too Late For Iranian Government to Peacefully Resolve Unrest -- Says Justice Will Prevail

He notes Obama's baffling assertion that "it's not too late" for the government of Iran to choose a "peaceful path." (Er, it actually is too late for the seventeen people who have been killed. But let's move forward!) From GP:

Peaceful path?
What planet is he living on?
This man is too much.

Obama's final statement on Iran-- "We've got to believe that justice will prevail."
He can't possibly be this daft. Can he?

Obama paid his strongest lip service thus far to condemning the Iranian government and called the murder of Neda Soltan "heartbreaking." But . . . he's still going to wait and see how things shake out. Just in case the murdering thugs have a conversion experience and see the error of their ways?

From Fox, this bit from Gibbs was interesting:

But the White House left open the possibility Tuesday that it would intervene should the violence in Tehran escalate.

"Obviously if a tremendous escalation happens -- if tanks happen -- we would respond to that immediately," Gibbs said.

Michelle Malkin and Dan Riehl find the staged, pre-planned HuffPo question laughable and pitiful. The latter has video of their embarrassingly botched play-acting. Awkward! (If you're going to do this kind of thing you need to rehearse more, guys.)

Members of the press corps (including Tapper and Garrett) who had the audacity to ask impertinent questions felt the wrath of the One, who becomes snippy and sarcastic when crossed. See Michelle: "In other words: Do as he says, not as he smokes."

Follow-up: MSM have forfeited their right to cry foul
