Seems like President Obama was going to piss someone off no matter how he responded to the protests in Iran. After Obama took a stronger stance on Tuesday against Iran's government crackdown following criticism by various Republicans, "President" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for him to apologize. "We were not expecting Mr. Obama" to "fall into the same trap and continue the same path that Bush did," Ahmadinejad added. We wish Obama would reply, "At least I didn't have to steal my election." But chances are, he will not say that. [NYT]
