OBAMA’S FRIENDS ARE U.S. ENEMIES

President Obama adds: In this sense, Iran’s leaders have a choice between two paths. If they cannot agree to a reasonable deal, they will keep Iran on the path it’s on today—a path that has isolated Iran, and the Iranian people, from so much of the world, caused so much hardship for Iranian families, and deprived so many young Iranians of the jobs and opportunities they deserve.
President Obama continues to speak of Iran’s “leaders” as if anyone other than the Ayatollah would have a final say on the nuclear deal. His White House has frequently decried congressional efforts to institute further sanctions, citing how “sensitive” the negotiations remain, largely because of a supposed friction between Iran’s “hard-liners” and reformers in Parliament.
But in reality, only a tiny percentage of candidates who seek higher office in Iran are deemed “qualified” to even run in an election and represent the Islamic Republic. Iran’s Council of Guardians, which is the body that decides who can and cannot run for office, is hand-picked by the Ayatollah.
Others have suggested that the ballots are completely rigged for the Ayatollah’s preferred candidate, even if reform candidates make it to election day. Therefore, there is no real tension between the “hard-liners” and reformers because those who overtly seek a real change in Iranian society either never make it to the ballot box or never have a legitimate opportunity.
Mr. Obama concludes:
This is what’s at stake today. And this moment may not come again soon. I believe that our nations have an [sic] historic opportunity to resolve this issue peacefully–an opportunity we should not miss. As the poet Hafez wrote, “It is early spring. Try to be joyful in your heart. For many a flower will bloom while you will be in clay.”

OBAMA’S FRIENDS ARE U.S. ENEMIES
I’d hazard a guess that the “average” American....aka the Low Information Voter,, has little idea of just how very much the game changer allowing the utter CRAZIES in Iran to become “Nuclear Capable” is.
Yep.
0bama’s message is not designed for the Iranian people but for the “low info” American idiot left.
These American idiots on the left actually think there is no difference between the leaders of a country and the people of the country. Unless of course it’s a Republican leader in the US and, well, this is what elections are for.
I’ve had these conversations with them.
They believe that if the Iranian leaders are soo bad then they would have been either voted out or overthrown.
These are the folks that countered Bush’s action in Iraq with, “Well at least Saddam was elected”.
Elected with 99% of the vote, doesn’t register with them as there being something wrong.
“doesnt registar” seems to be the most applicable concept there..
their reception is just REALLY haywire.
He’s figured out already how to stifle any sort of real dissent. There have got to be levers of power that are below our radar that allow the total castration of any of the normal checks and balances. There is no other possible explanation. The race card is the camouflage. But the real power must lie elsewhere.
Personally, I expect him to pardon ALL black people in prison, and ALL black people ever convicted of a crime.
Not whites, not latinos, not asians, just blacks.
