This was a poll-driven announcement, and means about as much as any of his other promises. I note the budget to support pro-democracy Iranian groups is still $0, and the bloody-handed Iranian government thugs are still invited to our embassies to 'celebrate' independence. Whoever dreamed of a President displaying such stunning hypocrisy? Obama has a spine of pure custard.

No refusal to negotiate with the regime if it fails to hold true elections; no boycotts of Iran's diplomats, who've still been invited to July 4 parties at our embassies; no suggestions of international sanctions or UN resolutions condemning the regime; no secret provision of weapons to the revolutionaries; and of course, no threats, credible or not, of military action to overthrow the second most evil regime in the world today. In other words, absolutely nothing. But, like slapping a "Free Tibet" bumper sticker on our Volvos, we feel better about ourselves, while millions upon millions of people live in fear, with a boot stamping on them, forever. Shame.
