While you sleeping or celebrating Mom’s Day or just arguing on the validity of OBL’s death….there is an occurrence in the Middle East that might be good news for those who HATE Iran…..that little dude, Ahmadinejad, the Pres of Iran, seems to be a bit of hot water with the ruling clerics….

Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari, reporting from the Iranian capital, Tehran on Sunday, said the president’s decision to skip cabinet meetings is unprecedented in the country, where the supreme leader wields more power than the president and appoints military leaders and the council that passes laws.

“There was a lot of criticism from different camps in this country about his behaviour. He was … accused of allegedly defying the supreme leader, [which is] equivalent to defying God in this country,” she said.
