NY Sen. Chuck Schumer (D) announced that he will oppose Barack Obama's capitulation to Iran.
“I will vote to disapprove the agreement, not because I believe war is a viable or desirable option, nor to challenge the path of diplomacy. It is because I believe Iran will not change, and under this agreement it will be able to achieve its dual goals of eliminating sanctions while ultimately retaining its nuclear and non-nuclear power,” Schumer wrote in a lengthy statement issued Thursday night detailing his decision.The deal makes no sense and Obama makes no sense. Obama said that sanctions could not stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, yet he insists those same ineffective sanctions that could not stop Iran from getting a bomb will "snap back" if they violate the agreement.“Better to keep U.S. sanctions in place, strengthen them, enforce secondary sanctions on other nations, and pursue the hard-trodden path of diplomacy once more, difficult as it may be,” he said.
The Obama hate machine immediately sprang into action. This time anti-Semitism was on the menu.
The lefty site Daily Kos posted a cartoon showing Schumer with an Israeli flag and calling him a “traitor.”Obama personally went after the "money changers."MoveOn argues that “our country doesn’t need another Joe Lieberman in the Senate,” a reference to Connecticut’s ex-senator — who, like Schumer, is Jewish.
White House buddy Fareed Zakaria waved at anti-Semitic stereotypes, saying Schumer’s motive is just “money” — “If he were to support President Obama on this, if he were to support this deal, he knows it would create a firestorm of opposition, particularly among, perhaps, you know, wealthy supporters.”
Of course, Obama himself griped about pressure from “lobbyists” — i.e., Jewish and pro-Israel activists — spending “tens of million of dollars” to stop the deal. He reportedly blamed “the pro-Israel community” for stirring up a fight.Other Obama stooges joined the pogrom:
Former top Obama adviser David Plouffe on Monday blasted Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for opposing the Iran deal, suggesting it makes him unfit to lead Senate Democrats.From The Tablet:Plouffe’s comments came in response to Schumer’s assertion Monday that Obama should go back to the negotiating table with Iran and get a “better” deal.
He called Schumer’s claim naïve and suggested Senate Democrats will miss Harry Reid, the Democratic leader the New York senator is expected to succeed in the next Congress. “Mitch McConnell will have a field day with this kind of naïveté. We will miss Harry Reid,” Plouffe tweeted.
What we increasingly can’t stomach—and feel obliged to speak out about right now—is the use of Jew-baiting and other blatant and retrograde forms of racial and ethnic prejudice as tools to sell a political deal, or to smear those who oppose it. Accusing Senator Schumer of loyalty to a foreign government is bigotry, pure and simple. Accusing Senators and Congressmen whose misgivings about the Iran deal are shared by a majority of the U.S. electorate of being agents of a foreign power, or of selling their votes to shadowy lobbyists, or of acting contrary to the best interests of the United States, is the kind of naked appeal to bigotry and prejudice that would be familiar in the politics of the pre-Civil Rights Era South.Welcome to the real world, people. Your ox has finally been gored. Many other oxen have already been gored by Obama.This use of anti-Jewish incitement as a political tool is a sickening new development in American political discourse, and we have heard too much of it lately—some coming, ominously, from our own White House and its representatives. Let’s not mince words: Murmuring about “money” and “lobbying” and “foreign interests” who seek to drag America into war is a direct attempt to play the dual-loyalty card. It’s the kind of dark, nasty stuff we might expect to hear at a white power rally, not from the President of the United States—and it’s gotten so blatant that even many of us who are generally sympathetic to the administration, and even this deal, have been shaken by it.
There is no disagreeing with Obama. It carries a heavy price. He painted Republicans as traitors for disagreeing with his kissing Iranian ass. As we noted long ago, he calls those who would dare disagree with him "enemies."
Obama's MO is unchanging:

This is all BS. Schemer has been given permission to do this, as there aren’t enough votes to stop this train wreck. None of this matters.
Barack Obama is the most evil creature to ever exist.
So Barak will let us get nuked by Iran and cherish it.
But Shumer won't.
So the greater evil will get us nuked.
All Senators but 1 (Cotton) voted for the Corker bill that allowed Obama to do this. ditto for Obama trade
“....None of this matters...”
Exactly, because in reality, once the USA has a real president again, he can crush it. And crush much, much more of this traitorous, anti-Western democracy insanity.
It still surprises me that Cruz in not higher in the present polls....but we have a lot more time to go.
I would like to see every person called an anti-semite if they are slamming Schumer. It just goes along with those who oppose Obama always being called racists, doesn’t it? Plouffe- you are an ANTI-SEMITE! Obama-you are an ANTI_SEMITE! Axelrod....even though you are a Jew, you are an ANTI-SEMITE!
I’m hoping and praying you’re correct.
It’s refreshing to see and hear Trump because I think he’s making sure the narrative isn’t controlled by the elites and the media.
But I’m with Cruz. If he gets it and the Congress can be held, there’s a whole new world come 2017. I shudder to think what will happen if he doesn’t win.
Obama-Haman and his minions want Amerika to be Juden-rein.
This is similar to what Senators did with TPA obama trade.
Most of them supported the Corker bill and TPA which guaranteed Obama to pass Obama’s Iran deal and Obama trade TPP respectively.

“No sooner was the Iran deal announced (Tuesday) than did the Iranian regime post it online for all the world to see, in conjunction with the regime’s understandably triumphant commentary,” he said. “We did not need the Corker bill to find out what is in the ‘Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.’ You can read it for yourself, courtesy of our enemy’s news service.”
In late April, just before the Senate overwhelmingly approved the Corker bill, political commentator Marc A. Thiessen penned a column for The Washington Post in which he warned that the “terrible bill” all but guaranteed the deal would get a “de facto stamp of approval” by Congress.
“Instead of requiring that Congress vote to affirmatively approve any Obama-Iran agreement before it can take effect, the Corker-Cardin bill allows the agreement to take effect unless it is disapproved by Congress,” he wrote.
“An affirmative vote would have required Obama to persuade a simple majority in both houses of Congress to approve his agreement. If he failed, the agreement would be dead.
“Now, under a disapproval mechanism, the burden shifts to congressional opponents of the Iran deal, who need to convince not simple majorities, but super majorities, in both houses if they want to kill the deal.”
I have a colleague who praised Obama for successfully negotiating a deal that no one else had been able to do for so long.
My colleage is black so I remained silent.
Oh, I thought this was about Congressman Henry Waxman.
There has been practically no mention of Zer0 in the news,since he has been on the latest vacation. It has been a good break for America.
Trump says he is friends with Schumer and Schumer will renege and end up voting for the deal.
Oh, come-on, the Mooch has to be in the top 3?
don’t doubt it. Everything that has happened, since obama took office has been nothing but slinging sh*t up against the wall, knowing that someone else is going to have to clean it up or let it all collapse. It’s been his MO from the start.
He’s probably one of the dumbest motherf*ckers to ever step foot in DC and that’s saying a lot. But, he’s got lots of support and he’s the useful idiot for whoever pulls his puppet strings.
Godwin’s Law be damned, obozo wants to finish what Hitler started.
Between obozo’s upbringing in the madrassas and his 20+ year adherence to black liberation theology makes virulent antisemitism a certainty.
Schumer for all his commie politics does care about the security and future of USA.
Obama is the most thoroughly evil person (and most success enemy agent) we’ve seen in our lifetime (being born after Hitler)
“Barack Obama is the most evil creature to ever exist”.
That is correct.
There has been practically no mention of Zer0 in the news,since he has been on the latest vacation. It has been a good break for America.
Sorry, but the evil bastard is constantly going full blast behind the scenes.
Obama is the most powerful man in the world. The Iranian ayatollahs are among the most powerful men in the Middle East. Yet somehow, one lonely Senator, Chuck Schumer, is being imputed by Obama to have the power to overturn his own will and that of the ayatollahs combined, plus those of the other signatories to the Iranian treaty and the United Nations which has approved it.
Apparently, Obama thinks Chuck Schumer has supernatural powers. It makes sense. Just the fact that the ever-corrupt, often smarmy senior Senator from New York has suddenly stood up like a mensch to protect his country and the world from the evil Iranians seems like a miracle.
If Obama and his minions continue to attack Chuck Schumer, would anyone be surprised if a plague of locusts should suddenly descend on the White House and eat everyone alive?
