Obama writes private letter to Iranian leader
WASHINGTON -- U.S. officials confirm President Obama sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in mid-October, as first reported in the Wall Street Journal.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest would neither confirm nor deny the letter's existence.
"I'm not in a position to discuss private correspondence between the president and any world leader," Earnest said Thursday.
When asked about secret negotiations with Khamenei, Iran's top political and religious leader, Earnest said the White House "also" conducts private briefings with key members of Congress on talks with Iran to end its nuclear weapons program.

He was probably asking for religious guidance on how to cope with this week’s Dem losses.

No.
Won’t work.
There is no private relationship if it discusses national security.
The dude is free to call correspondence congratulating Iran’s leader on a new baby, but otherwise, there is no such thing as private correspondence.

Obama is about to make Nevile Chamberlain’ sell out to Hitler look JV.

Wonder if he wrote it in “cursive”, and they had to send 0bummer-boy’s BFF “Fat Rachael” over to translate for the ragheads?

I think the relationship is pretty much one-sided courtship (from O to the mullah.)

Can you see the problem yet?

So now it’s a “private” letter instead of a “secret” letter.
What effing ever!

Dear Ayatollah,
I think I might be the Hidden Imam. I know I'm all wet. That may mean I was hiding in a well at one point. I'm not sure as my whole life history has been a fraud. Perhaps you can let me know how I can comfirm that I am the 12th Imam. I look forward to ruling the world. I'll be waiting for the postman every day until I hear from you.
Sincerely,
Barack Hussein Obama
