Obama Elevates Feelings on Violence Against Iran Protestors to “Somewhat Perturbed”

obamalaughWASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said he elevated his feelings Tuesday about the violence that has killed at least 17 Iranian protesters to “somewhat, mildly perturbed.”  This marked a dramatic change in the President’s rhetoric because for the past week, his feelings stood at “ho hum.”

Obama, who has been accused by some Republicans of being too timid in his response to events in Iran, went so far as to say “the situation in Iran may not be what it could be.” 

The President refused to say what emotions he would experience if the violence continues, but White House spokesman Robert Gibbs hinted that “it is just possible — not saying he will, but possible — that if the violence escalates to a full-blown slaughter of, say, thousands of innocent people, the President might just lightly pound his fist once or twice to send a profoundly powerful message.”
