and outfront tonight, ahmadinejad on the spot. an unexpected spectacle in tehran today. the president summoned before parliament for the first time since the 1979 revolution. conservative parliament members called ahmadinejad out on everything from the limping economy, which is a victim of u.s. sanctions, to his public disagreements with the ayatollah who, of course, is the supreme leader of iran. ahmadinejad tried to make jokes, and he made no secret of his disdain for this event, saying, quote, the fact is that i tried not to attend this session, but i guess it was ordained that i should come, so there was nothing i could do about it. i met him once in person. that sort of seemed the way he might have delivered that, a little nonchalant. a growing power struggle between ahmadinejad and the supreme leader khomeini. president obama watched tehran s action and he used some of his strongest language yet while standing next to the prime minister of america s closest ally.
