Today President Obama gave a speech at American University, urging acceptance of his nuclear deal with Iran. It was the usual exercise in deception and demagoguery, and he skated up to the edge of accusing opponents of the deal–a majority of Americans, apparently–of treason.
After some initial reminiscence about the Cold War, Obama leaped right into misrepresenting the agreement’s terms:
After two years of negotiations, we have achieved a detailed arrangement that permanently prohibits Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
The “prohibition” consists of a pious declaration by Iran which it can repudiate at any time. The agreement contains no provisions that will permanently impede Iran’s ability to acquire nuclear weapons. The provisions that (if adhered to) would materially impede Iran’s nuclear weapons program expire in no more than 15 years.
Next, the president offered up a revisionist history of the war in Iraq–a topic of dubious relevance at best:
[M]any of the same people who argued for the war in Iraq are now making the case against the Iran nuclear deal.
Whereas others who argued for the war in Iraq are now making the case in favor of the Iran deal–Joe Biden, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, for example. So what? Next comes a breathtaking series of lies:
I said that America didn’t just have to end that war — we had to end the mindset that got us there in the first place. It was a mindset characterized by a preference for military action over diplomacy; a mindset that put a premium on unilateral U.S. action over the painstaking work of building international consensus; a mindset that exaggerated threats beyond what the intelligence supported.
No American administration has ever preferred war to diplomacy.

“Pray that this country is waking up, and to see what we have in the White House”
I’ve been praying this for some time now, that the people wake up and ‘see’ what we have ruling over us,
I believe obama is demonic, and no I’m not saying that as an overstatement,
We battle not against flesh and blood,
Bump for later read.
Is there any posting of the entire “so-called treaty” available to examine?
The anti-colonialist will not be happy until he totally destroys America.

Dinesh DiSouza was right. This guy is worse than a community agitator. He is an anti-colonialist looking to make America to pay for it’s so-called “past sins”.
And he hates Israeli Jews and the UK (who set up Iran’s, Iraq’s, Israel’s boundaries in the 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s) even more than he hates “white, American, capitalist Christians”.
When the first nuclear bomb explodes over top of Israel ....
The second nuclear bomb to explode over the MidEast will be over Mecca.
The third nuclear bomb to explode over the MidEast will be over Medina.
It is all low.
If any of the listed presidents are in heaven, they know that no authority on earth is given except by God.
“After two years of negotiations, we have achieved a detailed arrangement that permanently prohibits Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.”
Big lie, in fact, enormous lie - he knows Iran will get the bomb and bomb Israel and the US.
I think what he really did was get an assurance from Iran not to bomb America until he moves to Hawaii and Kerry moves to some foreign country or to Hawaii also.
My opinion, Obama hates this country and will praise Allah when the bombs fall.
The bigger the lie, the easier the sell.
Haven’t we been praying that since before he stepped into the Oval Office? I think so. We all knew his background, his ideology and the type of people he has surrounded himself with his entire life.
We’ve put it out there in social media, we’ve argued with liberals and proven not only his inexperience, but the true nature of his politics.
They still would vote for him in a 3rd term if they could. He’s somewhat black and he has a “D” behind his name. That’s all they see. That’s what makes him “cool”.
There are a few who changed their minds about him but not many - and not in the way you’d think. To the ones I’m hearing, BO is not socialist enough. Hillary isn’t either. They’re all looking at Bernie and wishing Liz Warren were running.
Yes. Obama just said he is an Iranian-affiliated hard liner.
