How Stupid Is the Obama Administration?

In the Persian bazaar, it's always wise to count your fingers after the handshake.

Or naive. Or, let’s face it, evil. It appears that we have an entire administration of expensively credentialed plutocrats, without the slightest clue how the world really works. Bibi Netanhayu gave his “good friend” John Kerry a hint yesterday when he referred to Iran as a “Persian bazaar,” where the hondeling is part of the fun and cheating is the name of the game. And now here come the Iranians to prove it!

Iran rejected on Tuesday as “unacceptable” U.S. President Barack Obama’s demand that it freeze sensitive nuclear activities for at least 10 years but said it would continue talks on a deal, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reported. Iran laid out the position as the U.S. and Iranian foreign ministers met for a second day of negotiations and as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a stinging critique of the agreement they are trying to hammer out.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met a day after Obama told Reuters that Iran must commit to a verifiable halt of at least 10 years on sensitive nuclear work for a landmark atomic deal to be reached. ”Iran will not accept excessive and illogical demands,” Zarif was quoted by Fars as saying.

When dealing with anybody named “Mohammed” in that part of the world, it’s always wise to count your fingers after the handshake, but our intrepidly idiotic secretary of state plunges ahead, willing to absorb any humiliation for the sake of his boss, who’s still licking his wounds after yesterday beating by Bibi.

Obama’s stance … is expressed in unacceptable and threatening phrases,” he was reported as saying, adding that talks with Kerry in Switzerland would nonetheless carry on.

The aim of the negotiations is to persuade Iran to restrain its nuclear program in exchange for relief from sanctions that have crippled the oil exporter’s economy, thereby reducing the risk of war over the protracted dispute. The United States and some of its allies, notably Israel, suspect Iran of using its civil nuclear program as a cover to develop a nuclear weapons capability. Iran denies this, saying it is for peaceful purposes such as generating electricity.

Speaking before the U.S. Congress in Washington, Netanyahu warned Obama against accepting a nuclear deal with Iran that would be a “countdown to a potential nuclear nightmare” by a country that “will always be an enemy of America”.

But of course the Iranians will carry on — they’re getting everything they want. As I pointed out in this space nearly two weeks ago, the whole point of these “negotiations” is to give Iran a legitimate path to the bomb within ten years and probably a lot sooner, as in tomorrow — a point the Israeli prime minister made in his speech to Congress yesterday. And if Congress won’t oblige by ratifying whatever bad deal Barry Hussein & Co. come up with, well… there’s always executive action to make sure Valerie Jarrett’s Islamic friends get what they want.

You got that right! I yelled that fact at the TV graphic of her this morning while I was getting ready for work!

[Dick Bachert]

Here's but ONE example. God help us!! Yes, yes – I know I've been plastering this on every site where this MORON is even referred to. Here's why: These imbiciles need to be driven from government before they do any more damage to what remains of this country. If you agree, PLEASE SHARE!

This...this TWIT(damn, almost misspelled that one!) is one of those airhead thirty somethings infesting Washington and responsible for crap like obozocare. It will take multiple decades to get those protected by the idiotic Civil Service regs OUT OF GOVERNMENT.

And reliable sources in the State Department Human Resources Office report that Marie's full last name is, in fact, HARFWIT but Hillary suggested she shorten it lest it diminish her credibility as the department's spokesperson.

And this just in: It's reported that Marie is moving over to the Labor Department to run the just created Jobs for Jihadis Program!

Are we screwed or what?

[ZULU]

He is not stupid. Everything is going according to plan. He is successfully destroying the country he hates most.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Republicants! LOL Made me think of this to, change the a to a ‘u’!

Gotta keep FR clean!

Corruption, thy name is Ambiguity

[arthurus]

Hannity is dense. He misses the point every time he “debates” a liberal or a Moslem. He repeats his slogans to the point that one is embarrassed for him. He simply does not understand things like the 2nd Amendment and certainly does not understand much of anything about Islam. He wastes half his show on in-house chatter. He repeats himself a lot. His staffer Linda is more perceptive and smarter than he is. He is the only thing on the radio in that time slot where I work.

[arthurus]

It doesn’t matter much what is agreed to. Iran will proceed with all deliberate speed. Agreements are not binding but are useful to cover for continuing to do what is supposedly forbidden. With the agreement in place no one is looking for violations and both sides are concerned with the piece of paper as the necessary Accomplishment. With the agreement in place Iran can proceed more confidently toward the attainment of nuclear weapons.

[dware]

This administration knows precisely what they are doing. They are not stupid in the slightest. If we accept that they are, we are severely underestimating the enemy.

[Kaslin]

That arrogant pos would have never been elected and relected if it hadn't been for those who chose to stay home, because they didn't like the Republican nominees in the 2008 and 2012 election.

I will never forgive them

[freedom6178]

Evil to the core.

[RedMDer]

Let's Git-R-Done!

Less than $1.8k to go!!

How Stupid Is the Obama Administration?

Guinness World Record Stupid

[Thank You Rush]

Reminds me I saw her this morning and she was talking about Snowden perhaps coming back to the U. S. to face charges and she said, “If he’s not going to accept the charges, then he shouldn’t have done what he did.”

Now I ask you!!! Is that not brilliance?

Do you suppose some day real soon - hope, hope, hope - we can say the same thing to her FORMER boss and perhaps even to her current one? Our fondest dreams come true!

[Jimmy Valentine]

“Hondling “ is a Yiddish word for negotiating. Not very PC in referring to the Persians. Just saying

[Cyman]

Based on the fact that the Obama administration is making most Republican’s their butt buddies, not stupid all. Rather brilliant I would say.

[TexasCajun]

I dutifully held my nose and voted for MeCain & Romney.

I am a Conservative without a party.

At this point I honestly have to agree with Hillary!

What Difference, At this Point, Does It Make?

[JayAr36]

Dumb as a box of rocks. Or should I say that in a box of rocks there are smarter rocks than this administration. And that includes both houses.

[noinfringers2]

I would guess and hope that your agreement is just in the wording and not in substance of character or issues.

[Jabba the Nutt]

The Obama Administration is not stupid. Obama’s on the other side.

[INVAR]

Yes. It’s the reason I will not listen to or watch his show. Aside from irritating repetitions, he whores himself out in order to get guests on his shows and gives plenty of airtime to our enemies.

In short, like most talking heads - he will not state the obvious truth - because to do so is to risk their precious positions and ability to hob nob with the movers and shakers.
