Change we can believe in. The Iranians changed the picture of the infidel leader they are burning. I wonder how (or even IF) the leftist Obamatons will react to this attack on the Obammesiah.

Iranian demonstrators burned photographs of Barack Obama today as they protested against America’s inaction over Gaza.

Dozens of people gathered in Tehran waving Palestinian flags and defacing and setting fire to images of the President-elect.

Iranian demonstrators have often burned effigies or pictures of US presidents in the past but this appeared to be the first time Mr Obama’s picture had been defaced, a week before his inauguration as president.

The Iranian government has condemned the West, and the United States in particular, for not doing more to stop Israel’s attacks on Gaza. The 17-day-old offensive, which Israel says is to stop rockets being fired at it, has killed more than 900 Palestinians.

“Where are the freedom seekers?” read one poster held up by a demonstrator today protest. It had the word “Gaza” emblazoned on it and an image of a weeping Palestinian.

The demonstrators, waving Palestinian flags, some chanting “Death to Obama”, had gathered outside the Swiss embassy which handles US interests because Tehran and Washington have not had diplomatic ties for nearly three decades.

Pictures showed the president-elect’s image laid on the road for cars to drive over it and other images showed demonstrators burning an Obama poster.

In other recent protests against Israel’s Gaza offensive, demonstrators have climbed into a British diplomatic compound and gathered outside the missions of Jordan and Egypt, which have peace treaties with Israel, to condemn what they see as the inadequate international response.

So much for the muslim world embracing B Hussein Obama. I would love to see a protest against the Iranians burning the pics of Obama, with people burning the Iranian flag, stomping on burning qurans and posters of Muhammad with the bomb in his turban. But we all know the leftists only protest when they know their intended target won’t retaliate, because let’s face it, most of them are a bunch of pansies. With my sincerest apologies to offending the aforementioned flower.

    Muslims are great at shouting and waving their fists in the air and burning flags and effigies and pictures, aren't they? They are also first class at strapping explosives to children's bodies and firing missiles from civilian places of hiding. Quite accomplished paedophiles and wife-beaters, too, come to think of it. Oh yes – mustn't forget – murdering defenceless Jewish athletes. Of course, when they commit these heroic deeds the civilised world cowers in fear, so impressed are we with them. I bet Mr Obama will not sleep to-night: he'll lie there quaking and planning what to do to remedy the situation. His little girls will ask, "Daddy, what troubles thee?" "Iranians burned my picture." "Oh, Daddy, that's terrible. What can be done?" "Well, I might send them a few more pictures to replace the conflagrated ones." "What if they burn those, too?" "Perhaps I'll nuke the fuckers." "Clever Daddy."
