احمدینژاد در برابر روحانیت قرار گرفته است
این روزها درگیری قلمی و زبانی بین طرفداران احمدینژاد و مخالفان او در درون حاکمیت بیش از هر زمان دیگر اوج گرفته است. اصولگرایان عملا به دو جبهه متخاصم تقسیم شدهاند. بسیاری از روحانیان و کسانی که در گذشته بدون قید و شرط از احمدینژاد حمایت میکردند اکنون در برابر او موضع گرفتهاند. کیهان شریعتمداری (نماینده خامنهای) به عنوان سخنگوی اصلی این جناح، بیوقفه به مشایی میتازد و از اینکه احمدینژاد حاضر نیست او را از خود دور کند به او خرده میگیرد
