Sure - exactly with America needs. A theocratic fanatic who wants to wipe Israel off the map and leads the chants of "Death to America" every Friday after prayers.
What could have possessed our secretary of state to tell his Iranian counterpart that he wishes the US had a leader like Iran's Supreme Leader?
Secretary of State John Kerry told his Iranian counterpart that he wished the United States had a leader more like Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, according to comments made by a senior Iranian cleric and repeated in the country’s state-run media.
Ayatollah Alam al-Hoda claimed during Friday prayer services in Iran that in negotiations over Tehran’s contested nuclear program, Kerry told the country’s foreign minister that he “wished the U.S. had a leader like Iran’s supreme leader,” according to a Persian-language report on the remarks published by the Asriran news site.
“In the negotiations Kerry told [Iranian Foreign Minister Javad] Zarif that he [Kerry] wished U.S. had a leader like Iran’s supreme leader,” according to Alam al-Hoda, who is a senior member of the Iran’s powerful Assembly of Experts.
A senior administration official told the Washington Free Beacon that such a contention is patently absurd.
The remarks are the latest in a string of comments made by Iranian leaders purporting to reveal private details of the talks.
Iranian newspapers have carried multiple reports in recent months suggesting that Iranian Foreign Minister and chief negotiator Javad Zarif was ordered to stop screaming at Kerry behind closed doors.
In his Friday remarks, al-Hoda went on to say that Obama is set on striking a deal with Iran by June.

We don’t?
Like I mentioned earlier, I bet he also really admired Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Cong.
We already do. We call her ValJar.
I wish Swiftboat Johnny had ended up in the Hanoi Hilton.
Is Kerry on drugs?!!!! If I was a liberal and I had to honestly say how Iran is like today, I would be flipping out, because even the so-called Conservative areas of the U.S. are not as bad as what goes on in Saudi Arabia. I am glad we aren’t Iran, and do not get why a leftist would say this!
Well, at least the ayatollah admits to being a muslim.
Somehow I think Kerry wants a super-leader who can overrule the popular will, limit who can run for office, and the like on behalf of the ideology of the American “elite” like Khamenei can do on behalf of the Iranian revolutionary “elite”, not a theocrat or an anti-Israeli fanatic.
Come to think of it, we already have on: Justice Kennedy.
Kerry just told us the whole thing is FAKE
Men who hunger for dictators to push them around might enjoy the Hanoi Hilton... Kerry's starting to come across as Harry Reid creepy.
“Ayatollah Alam al-Hoda claimed”
Kerry is a traitor, a liar, an idiot, an anti-semite, and he looks funny, but I’m not going to blame ANYBODY for something and Iranian claims he said.
Kerry, he has his shirttails attached the wealth of a woman Tereza Heinz, whose husband was the Heinz heir by he died. Keery wants a Theocracy - where the Democrats are in charge of everything. The God of Democrats - Satan - just like Iran.
Obama would excuse it and still do a deal with Iran
LOL! But if Obama’s not quite his cup of tea, it’s not too late for Frenchy John to change his citizenship. We’d be happy to sign a petition to encourage a quick process takes place.
Sounds like something Kerry would say; it is perfectly in line with Kerry’s character.
Better to say nothing than stupid stuff.
Let's see - radically commiitted to a totalitarian ideology, intolerant of dissent, hateful toward Christians and Jews, thinks the United States is a "great satan" - ummm...
Well, if Obama was your boss....
That is exactly what I was thinking. Our SecState wants America to become a theocracy??? So, which religion gets the stamp of approval from this idiot?
