This is to funny, over in Iran it's fine but if you protest in the US your considered a terrorist.
Congress voted resoundingly Friday to condemn the Iranian government's crackdown on protesters, sending a strong bipartisan signal to the White House that it wants less caution and more outrage.
The House of Representatives voted 405 to 1 to protest the Iranian government's actions, and the Senate followed a few hours later by unanimously endorsing the measure.
The White House said the votes — originally intended by Republicans as an implicit criticism of Obama, but which eventually drew strong bipartisan support — were consistent with its views.
"Obviously we welcome the resolution," said press secretary Robert Gibbs. "We believe, despite the question, that it echoes the words of . . . President Obama throughout the week."
Obama said Monday that while he was "deeply troubled" by the government's efforts to quash the protests, he added "We respect Iranian sovereignty and want to avoid the United States being the issue inside of Iran
