Comment:
I think this is really wrong to do. When you have a worker that is working for you for 9 years and then just fire the worker, specially in this hard and difficult financial time. This is really unfair and cruel also The controversy poses potential threats to Whitman's campaign.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/09/24/un.ahmadinejad.remarks/index.html?hpt=T1President Obama, in a BBC interview, called remarks by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad  "inexcusable."
Summary:
Iran's president, Mahmood Ahmadinejad, blamed the terrorist attack in September 11, 2001 on U.S. U.S president, Obama, Said that "Well, it was offensive. It was hateful," in part of an interview with BBC Persian released by the White House. He also said "And particularly for him to make the statement here in Manhattan, just a little north of ground zero, where families lost their loved ones -- people of all faiths, all ethnicities who see this as the seminal tragedy of this generation -- for him to make a statement like that was inexcusable,". The British Deputy Prime Minister said that the president of Iran tried to distract the U.N and the world from Iranian issues that generate media headlines.

Commentary: By doing this Bizarre statements that the president of Iran is making, its not going to make the relationship better. Also this statement doesn't make any sens. Why would U.S do this to it self. Also U.S wont kill there own people and terrorize them.
