White House’s lies on Iran deal is humiliating for Chuck Schumer
NY Post ^ | May 6, 2016

Posted on 05/07/2016 6:50:19 AM PDT by george76

We hope Sens. Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand are giving that devastating new profile of resident Obama’s foreign-policy guru a careful read.

Because they’ll learn how they were all played for fools on the Iran nuclear deal by that aide, Ben Rhodes — and the resident.

That applies especially to Schumer, who will be the Senate Democratic leader come January.

Booker and Gillibrand hewed to the party line in backing the deal. Schumer gave it a thumb’s-down — but then refused to lobby his colleagues to take his side.

Sen. Bob Menendez, on the other hand, is looking better than ever. He not only forcefully denounced the deal, he laid out a clear and cogent alternative.

Now Rhodes is openly boasting in a New York Times Magazine profile how Team Obama (with the help of gullible journalists) resorted to outright lies and deceit to sell the deal to Congress.

Like the fiction that the deal was initiated by the “breakthrough” when a “moderate” beat the “hard-liners” to become Iran’s president in 2013 and reached out to Obama.

Nonsense: Rhodes admits planning for a deal began right after Obama took office

...

Cabinet secretaries like Panetta — and Hillary Clinton — were irrelevant.

Well, senators, now you know the infuriating — and, for you, humiliating — truth. What do you plan to do about it?

Chuckie would sell out Israel in a heartbeat. This drama is just to make him look good (re-electable) to the Jewish voters of NY State. To keep Jewish campaign money rolling in.

Chuckie has no conscience. As far as Israel goes and on 99% of other matters. FU Chuckie!

That’s what a lefty who was for the Iran deal would say.

In an attempt to deflect attention away from the sicko Iran deal.

There is a new synonym: "leaders" = "traitors".

I seem to recall some investigation into Menéndez was initiated after he rejected the Iran deal.

I don’t believe there is any way Schumer and the rest of the Democrat senators can be humiliated. In order for someone to be humiliated, he/she has to have character — and they don’t.

Correction: Chuck the Schmuck is a Democrat so NOTHING humiliates him.

Cotton, Cruz and Rubio were working in tandem to poison-pill the whole affair.
