Iran , 24th December 2009 : US President Barack Obama is a disappointment to the world, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday night in an interview.

Ahmadinejad mocked Obama’s words in his Cairo speech in which he said he was extending his hand to Iran.

“Which hand did he extend? His right hand or left hand?” Ahmadinejad asked wryly. “He extended the sanctions against us.”

“He has failed to meet the expectations of the people in the US and the people of the world,” Ahmadinejad added.
