President starts out with very strong statement about Iran. (5 minutes.) Explaining that we all are Bearing Witness to their struggle and what Bruality they are facing ( and yes, he did indeed see the Neda video). Handled with grace but with fierceness.....just the right tone....
Now :::the next issue is about Energy- explaining what needs to be done now and that it will bring jobs and financial benifits.
Question One: Iran, about communication and diplomacy- where do we stand...
O: this is a difficult time...speaking about the Govt choosing the path the current regime wishes to take...they have extraordinary situation going on WITHIN...so we shall see where we go...there is a path where their culture and history and faith are respected.....etc...
Question:: Shouldn't there be consequences ?
O::: There is international concern as we bear witness What is going on within will shape
Nico::: Under what conditions will you accept the "election" of Ahmadinejead...( question from Iranians)
O:: We did not have observers on ground, but we have seen that are signfigant questions about the Legitimacy of this election. The Government there has to start to deal with their own people's concern about the legitimacy of that election. It is not too late for the Iranian Govt to realize that there is a path for the Govt to deal with this situation and their future....a peaceful path.
( I have to say Nico did great...wow...think of it..a Blogger was the THIRD person to ask a question..WOW....and O made it very clear that he reads ...the blogs and yes, Huff...wow...)
healthcare questions... ( I came back and someone was asking about Health Insurance...)
O: explaining again how and why we need to fix this...taking a much stronger tone... ( he really needs to go on the road again...in DC they just don't get IT.....)
he is explaining it again....HOW bad it is for folks out there...
