Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday called the U.S. election a “battleground for capitalists” while speaking at a democracy forum a day after President Barack Obama was re-elected.
He said democracy has become a system where the minority rules over the majority.
“Just take a look at the situation in Europe and the U.S.,” Ahmadinejad said during the meeting’s opening day on Indonesia’s resort island of Bali. An “election, which is one of the manifestations of the people’s will, has become a battleground for the capitalists and an excuse for hasty spending.”
The price tag for the 2012 U.S. presidential campaign was the highest ever, soaring beyond $2 billion.

what he’s saying is 100% true
First time he’s been right about anything. We ridicule him all the time.
great pic, love the eyes.
At least the US has an election.
Someone should shut this idiot up for good.
He should go out and buy himself a cot and go lay down next to his buddy Arafat. While he is at it he can buy a second cot and invite wannabe Ayatollah Obummer to join him.
Man, I’ll even pay for the cots.
