Despite the fact that there have been no political relations between Iran and United States since 1980, Iranian bloggers continue to write about the US presidential elections, comparing the candidates with their own politicians in Iran.
Writing in Farsi, Arash in his blog, Sunny Nights, believes that this time is Democrat Party’s turn to play. He also adds:
سیستم طوری طراØÛŒ شده Ú©Ù‡ اصولاً هر وقت دمکرات ها Ù…ÛŒ آیند سر کار، آزادی های بیشتری مردم کسب Ù…ÛŒ کنند Ùˆ پول زیادتری دست مردم هست Ùˆ وقتی جمهوری خواه ها سر کار هستند؛ دولت Ùˆ تصمیماتش Øالت مذهبی تر پیدا Ù…ÛŒ کنه. (مثلاً تصمیماتشون در زمینه سقط جنین Ùˆ ازدواج همجنس بازها)
Arash also compares Obama with candidates in Iran and says:
باراک اوباما Ú©Ù‡ در سخنرانی هاش از یه تغییر صØبت Ù…ÛŒ کنه (مثل وعده های کاندیداها در جمهوری اسلامی) Ú©Ù‡ هیچ Ú©ÛŒ هم نمی دونه منظورش از این تغییر چیه، از Øزب دمکرات Ù†Ùر اول شد، هیلاری کلینتون Ú©Ù‡ رقیب اصلی باراک اوباما به شمار Ù…ÛŒ آید، Ù†Ùر سوم شد.
Meanwhile, Hasan Bananej writes about the nominees’ logos and asks which logo is the best. He himself prefers Obama’s and says:
به نظرم این لوگو علی رغم سایرین، ØرÙÛŒ برای Ú¯Ùتن دارد Ùˆ پشت آن خورشیدی Ú©Ù‡ در کنار پرچم آمر

Haha, I never thought I would see Obama compared to religious leaders in Iran. Thank you for this post. It’s good to be reminded how different things look around the world.
whatever the result(s) of presidential elections, the way the world is governed is the same preplanned and predestined one. in my opinion there is no real democracy, secret hands play puppets. it is a kind of dirty trick, a real misdirection a kind of misleading. its a shame people throughout the world dont understand politicians are on good terms and ties with each other, all deceive people. these are different performances of the same competence. all want oil, money, sex, power and name and fame. haha at least they cant deceive me, thanks God for the genious he gave me,thanks God.
