The Obama administration’s hint that it was considering allowing Iran to access directly or indirectly U.S. dollars drew furious, negative reaction from both sides of the aisle.

On Monday, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) denounced the effort and called for the administration to reaffirm definitively its explicit promise that barriers to Iran’s accessing dollars would remain in place. “Our concern is that there are at least four workarounds to provide Iran with access to the dollar, including dollar-denominated transactions, dollar-clearing, dollar-based conversions, and dollar-related foreign currency transactions,” he said. “Here’s the bottom line: The administration should definitively rule out any potential workaround that provides Iran — directly or indirectly — with access to the dollar or the U.S. financial system.” …

Considering all of Obama’s actions favoring the Iranian regime - the nuclear deal, the return of the assets held, this access to financial markets, and on and on. Connecting all the dots - what picture do you see???

I see a picture of Iranian-born Valerie Jarrett.

What do you see?

Barack Obama detests the US Constitution and the life style and culture that has produced the most giving, sharing, helpful, strongest, and strongest economy in the world.

He was elected to throw wrenches into all of it...and he has done so.

I will thank God in Heaven the day he his removed from the office...but pray that we may replace him with someone who will turn this nation around and make her great again.

Hillary would be Obama’s 3rd term and probably even worse.

Congressional protests are music to Obama’s ears. Volumes of hot air signifying nothing.

Little late for our public servants to get their panties in a wad over this. When they could have stopped it would have been a good time.

Barry is busy setting up his own foundation, in the same manner as the Clintons. I, for one, would be shocked, shocked, if some portion of this Iranian lucre is slated to find its way into Barry's coffers - through a discreet intermediary, of course.

Why the outrage?

You have to expect these kinds of actions when you elect an enemy agent to the presidency.

Impeach Obama for Treason then Ryan! But Ryan won't, because he is a sniveling coward.

The fact is that Obama now doesn’t give a crap about Congress and what you say. He’s going to do whatever he wants and laugh at Congress.

If you folks hadn’t totally wussed out in 2015 of the budget and other things, we wouldn’t be in this mess now. But it’s obvious to all that you guys are a paper tiger and gave up all your leverage.

This is why Trump is so far ahead.

the picture I see is him coming out by the end of his term as a full blown Islamist seeking the overthrow of the USA.
