In addition to selling us out, as someone who spent 28 years as a diplomat, how stupid can Obama be to say something like that in public risking that it will be picked up?

Perhaps the only explanation is that Obama doesn't even want to say it in private in front of his own WH staff. Is he trying to strike a deal on his own without the knowledge of the State Department, DOD, and our intelligence agencies? What a dangerous fool. Moreover, in any negotiation, you don't signal concessions to your opponent at the outset. Very odd and disturbing.

Obama is a very odd and disturbing (and also disturbed IMO) man.

IMO he bitterness at being born a hybrid has affected his mind and his decisions.
