Iran Tells Obama to Shove His Carrot and Stick Up His A**

The naive Obama has written a check his scrawny butt can't cash.

Iran has told US President-elect Barack Obama to abandon the "failed" US carrot-and-stick approach to solving the atomic row with Tehran.

Mr Obama on Sunday vowed "tough but direct diplomacy", offering Iran economic incentives to end its nuclear programme or face tougher sanctions.

But Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi said the policy was "unacceptable".

"The carrot and stick approach has proven to be useless. It is an unacceptable and virtually failed policy," Mr Qashqavi said. "This needs to change and transform into an interactive policy".
