Ahmadinejad laughed

In Washington on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs wondered why Iran is so complacent.

Asked about comments made recently by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that indicated Tehran did not feel compelled to meet a year-end deadline to accept the deal, Gibbs said the major international powers who set the deadline urged Iran to abide by it.

"Mr. Ahmadinejad may not recognize, for whatever reason, the deadline that looms, but that is a very real deadline for the international community," Gibbs said.

And in Tehran, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad laughed at the Obumbler.

US President Barack Obama is a disappointment to the world, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday night in an interview with the UK's Channel 4 News.

Ahmadinejad mocked Obama's words in his Cairo speech in which he said he was extending his hand to Iran.

"Which hand did he extend? His right hand or left hand?" Ahmadinejad asked wryly. "He extended the sanctions against us."

"He has failed to meet the expectations of the people in the US and the people of the world," Ahmadinejad added.

He's toying with Obama, isn't he? What could go wrong?
