“They’ve got some of the comments that I’ve made being mistranslated in Iran, suggesting that I’m telling rioters to go out and riot some more,” Mr. Obama said, referring to accounts that the White House said surfaced late last week and over the weekend. “There are reports suggesting that the C.I.A. is behind all this. All of which is patently false. But it gives you a sense of the narrative that the Iranian government would love to play into.”

There's a video at the link of his hour-long press conference yesterday, wherein I am appalled to note he made a special point of recognizing groupthink's Nico Pitney, who has been doing a shit job from start to finish, IF it ever finishes, of covering the mess in Iran. He's been a goddam megaphone for accomplishing the ends of the various covert operations put in place in Iran by a number of countries over the last several years. And, nearly two weeks on, the headline at groupthink has been indistinguishable from those one would find at any pro-regime-change right wing warmonger's blog.

Scum.
