Ahmadinejad fires back at Obama

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad criticized President Obama Saturday for “interfering” in Iranian’s domestic affairs.

“We are surprised at Mr. Obama,” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, according to AP witnesses. “Didn’t he say that he was after change? Why did he interfere?”

“They keep saying that they want to hold talks with Iran…but is this the correct way? Definitely, they have made a mistake,” Ahmadinejad added.

Republicans have criticized Obama for being too tepid in his response to the Iranian upheaval.

On Friday, Obama stated his support for the protesters.

“Their bravery in the face of brutality is a testament to their enduring pursuit of justice,” Obama said. “The violence perpetrated against them is outrageous. In spite of the government’s efforts to keep the world from bearing witness to that violence, we see it and we condemn it.”
