To find the quote I had in mind, I googled something like "Obama Iran threat" (don't remember exactly). I grabbed one that wasn't a video link and and took all of the quote that was listed on that particular site and pasted that. I did not chop off the the portion of the quote that I felt skewed it from from my interpretation. I knew the basics of the entire quote Tom gave, and that hadn't altered my interpretation of it.

One thing that I certainly understand about this place is that it is not possible to be factually incorrect without it (usually) rapidly being brought to the attention of all. I would dare not to insult the intelligence of the posters here in attempting to do that.

One other thing I completely forgot to mention is that in linking Iran to Cuba and Venezuela he is equating the three in terms of threat. At least in how I read it. I may have missed something McCain or Bush has said, but I don't think anyone has called them threats to the US. They're more like annoying mosquitos - best not to let them breed (and no doubt Chvez is looking to expand his influence in South America), but certainly no threat.
