Mr. President, Tear Down that Virtual Wall
Posted by Adam Blickstein

Amidst continuing conservative cries of "apology tour" at a time where the situation in Iran remains precarious, there's this nugget in the British Telegraph that demonstrates President Obama's deft diplomacy:

Arguably, it was Barack Obama who brought down the virtual wall between Iran and the West with his conciliatory and hopeful Nowruz (Iran’s New Year) message on YouTube. I looked on as my friends and family watched his message with adoration in Tehran. “Why can’t he be our president”, one aunt gushed. It hit a chord, mainly because it made Ahmadinejad look foolish.

Why do conservatives celebrate the tearing down of walls only when it benefits their own political agenda?

The numbers are believable if the driver of population growth during the not-so-bad times is the return of emigrants who left during the bad times.

Thank you for your sharing! I like i very much!

Great comments! You are so nice, man! You never know how much i like'em!

Yes, that's cool. The device is amazing! Waiting for your next one!

Obama previously came from a "borderless Europe." Yet North America remains a divided continent in terms of borders, wealth and opportunity...
