Obama: Tougher on Congress than on Khamenei

The speech was mean-spirited and dishonest -- and may have been counterproductive.

President Obama’s speech last week advocating congressional approval of the Iran deal was mostly made-up history mixed with invective. Indeed, he talked far more roughly about his congressional partners than he did about our Iranian enemies, who have worked so hard to kill Americans over the last 35 years.

Obama assured us that in the past a “nonproliferation treaty . . . prohibited nations from acquiring nuclear weapons.” One wonders, then, how India, China, North Korea, and Pakistan ever obtained them, given they were all forbidden to do so under “new agreements” forged by Democratic and Republican presidents. Is there much logic in the assertion that the intelligence was flawed when we went to war with what proved to be a non-nuclear Iraq, but that we can trust the same intelligence agencies to apprise us precisely of the nuclear status of Iran?

“After two years of negotiations,” Obama went on, “we have achieved a detailed arrangement that permanently prohibits Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. It cuts off all of Iran’s pathways to a bomb.”

The deal does no such thing. Iran can still possess some enriched uranium. It can still operate centrifuges. It is not subject to anytime, anywhere inspections. And it will be almost impossible to restore international sanctions should Iran be caught cheating. As in the case of Obamacare, most of Obama’s pre-negotiation assurances are now either forgotten or ignored.

And I believe it is because 0bama bows before the Ayatollah and McConnell/Boehner bow before 0bama.

Now ... where have we heard sh*t like this before?

“After two years of negotiations,” Obama went on, “we have achieved a detailed arrangement [but you have to vote for it before you can see it] that permanently prohibits Iran from provides if you like your doctor, you can obtaining a nuclear weapon your doctor. It cuts off opens up all of Iran’s your doctor's pathways to a bombyou.”

[I want the USA back]

His true love is not this country. Remember when he bowed down in abject submission before the headwrap crowd?

[Does so]

"...[H]e talked far more roughly about his congressional partners than he did about our Iranian enemies, who have worked so hard [successfully] to kill Americans over the last 35 years..."

Fixed it...

Hussein Obama thinks that it is ONLY FAIR that any other country that WANTS the atomic bomb should have the bomb; that the arrogant U.S. should be kept in its place & he’s just the MAN to do it! - I don’t think he attended History class back when it wasn’t “revised”. He seems to have floated through school on a cloud of “happy smoke” & been groomed every step of the way. - If he ain’t a Muslim; he certainly plays at being one the way he’s played at life in general like he plays at golf.

[Sir Napsalot]

Obama ran rough shod over Congress, be it Dem held or Repub controlled, over six and a half years. Why show ANY respect now?

Especially since Obama’s(*) making ‘peace in our lifetime’ iran deal his lasting foreign legacy (with every other attempt of Obama Doctrine an abject failure).

*This is more of president Jarrett’s legacy.

Looks like he is negotiating a reacharound.
