Now I'm a Speechwriter

Here's what President Obama should say in support of the Iranian protesters.

Throughout time, humanity has looked to the heavens as a source of wonder and a symbol of freedom and liberty. Today, the Iranian people turn their eyes aloft, seeking inspiration as they proudly march and assemble to support their rights. The United States stands with them in their quest for liberty and democracy. In the timeless words of Rumi

Thirst drove me down to the water
where I drank the moon's reflection.

Now I am a lion staring up totally
lost in love with the thing itself.
