Obama calls GOP criticism of Iran deal ‘ridiculous,’ ‘sad’
Associated Press ^ | Jul 27, 2015 10:53 PM EDT | Julie Pace

President Barack Obama unleashed a blistering and belittling rebuke of Republican White House hopefuls Monday, calling their attack on his landmark nuclear deal with Iran “ridiculous if it weren’t so sad.”

Standing before television cameras during a trip to Africa, Obama suggested the bellicose rhetoric from some GOP candidates was an attempt to divert attention from Donald Trump, the wealthy businessman-turned presidential contender whose popularity is confounding the Republican field. […]

“In 18 months, I’m turning over the keys,” Obama said. “I want to make sure I’m turning over the keys to somebody who is serious about the serious problems that the country faces and the world faces.” …

"Sad" "ridiculous"

Obama is the first black, gay, muslim, anti-intellectual, un-read president.

[[If we had decent legislative leaders in Congress, the Republican response to these outrageous remarks would be devastating.]]

Exactly- the whole reason the left are getting away with the outrageous crap that they are is because the right are COWARDS- The left kept testing the waters- seeing how far they could push- just like petulant children, seeing how much they could get away with, and when they found out that there was no opposition to their crap- their outrageous lies, their blatant lies, they threw the door wide open knowing full well there would be no one to stop them now that the ball is rolling full steam ahead

I’ve said it right along- If he got elected twice, he would unleash unholy hell upon this nation, knowing he was getting away with everything he wants to- The media sure as hell won’t hold him accountable, nor wil l the right- He has NO serious opposition- why wouldn’t he just take whatever he wants? There are no more checks and balances to keep him in line- Who’s going to oppose him? He has become a mini ceasar- doing whatever pleases him-

The words “So SAD” from the progressives, is equivalent to a southerner saying...”Bless Your Heart”.

Sounds like someone who knows they have done a horrible thing and have no logical rebuttal. He should be able to clearly point out in the agreement where we are wrong, but he cannot.

Just think what the world outcome would have been if Neville Chamberlain of Britain and de Ladierre of France were confronted by people in 1938, the same way we are confronting OBAMA on this “TREATY: with Iran. The world would have been a better place, than what actually happened. We are living in the “CUSP” of world history. The choices we are about to make will either be a better place to live in or we will be in another world holaucost that no one can imagine. The choice is really up to us.

The death of the grand experiment that is The United States of America.

By the end of the decade, 5-6 North American countries, rather than 3.

The death of millions of people.

Ugliness, in every scenario I can think of.

LOL - Like the picture. I can’t even fathom how far our country has went down in just 7 years. Breakneck speed.

‘Sad’ has surfaced as the newest term among the snarky elites of the ‘Ruling Class.’ Obama has embraced it because the language of the elites is all he has to hold on to. At bottom, despite all the trappings of power, he is a transparent wannabee.

Obama comes off as a stoner sniping at critics from the safety of the Choom van. I am serious. Obama is very weak and smirking here. Like he is high on some of Colorado's best.

Gotta love this arsehole's passive aggressive shtick. Translation>>> unmanly >>effeminate

He can never debate his agenda on the merits, it’s always sarcasm and name calling.

Nope, but the things done about it would be by who? Congress? The RNC? The Supreme Court? Have they shown any inclination to stop or curtail a practicing Muslim, who is clearly working against America’s interest, so far?

That leaves the people. That will result in bloodshed because some nutjob liberal will do something stupid to defend their messiah, and poof, my predictions begin to take weight.
