#1 despite the fact that Rouhani is a lacky for the Mullocracy, on economic matters I would actually trust Rouhani before I would trust Obama

#2 But now Mr. Rouhani's aides describe Iran's economic situation as the worst in decades. Many blame what they call Mr. Ahmadinejad's erratic economic policies, punctuated by slashed subsidies and unbridled inflation.

Blaming the last guy still appears to be a common theme.

#4 "People called for change and improvement in their living standards, they want to live ~~better~~" would be a tad more accurate.

Mr. Rouhani doesn't have much time to produce. Despite the talk decrying Mr. Ahmadinejad's "profligate spending", I suspect there will be a boost in subsidies, some "helicoptering", plus another round of overtures to China.
