This Sounds Familiar

I knew that President Obama's response to the Iranian unrest sounded familiar. It dawned on me, yesterday that it reflects his response to Russia invading Georgia during the presidential campaign. McCain immediately (and instinctively) recognized that Russia was the aggressor and he voiced this opinion. Obama generically called on both sides to stop. Today, it is no different - except Obama is president. LAT

McCain's outspoken criticism of Iran's government for its violence mirrors his strong denunciations last summer when Russia invaded the democratic country of Georgia.

Obama, who was vacationing in Hawaii at the time, was more measured initially, calling on both sides to stop fighting. He later changed tone more in favor of the invaded democracy.
