“So, in essence, the problem is not the Mullahs in Tehran but Obama in Washington. Right? “
I wouldn’t say Obama. But I would say Iranian born Valerie Jarrett might have a hand in this.
I’m not so sure about Jarrett — yes, she was born in Iran, but IIRC, she moved to the US when she was 5, so I’m not sure if she developed a “love of country” (for lack of a better phrase) for her nation of birth. It is her Marxist/anti-Christian/anti-Israel mindset, not necessarily a love of Iran, possibly?
I would say that she despises our Constitution & the very idea of America being a world leader just like Obama does. That’s why she has become “Obama’s brain” (to paraphrase what the Left used to say about Karl Rove & POTUS Bush). IMHO, it’s an inner, deep-down bitterness & hatred for the US that drives both of them, & controls what they think & do.
