Obama Blasts GOP Critics of Iran Nuclear Deal

President says opponents of accord are playing ‘fast and loose’ with facts

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia—President Barack Obama excoriated Republican critics of the nuclear agreement with Iran—particularly the GOP presidential candidates—saying they’re playing “fast and loose” with the facts to scuttle the accord and making a mockery of the American political process.

Mr. Obama has studiously avoided publicly commenting on the campaign to replace him, but on Monday he bristled over his signature foreign policy achievement becoming a centerpiece of the 2016 debate.

Asked specifically about GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee invoking the holocaust to criticize the Iran deal as akin to marching Israelis “to the door of the oven,” Mr. Obama said during a news conference in Ethiopia that Republican leaders are employing political rhetoric about the agreement that “would be considered ridiculous if it weren’t so sad.”

This deal cannot pass the smell test. When the Secretary of State testifies under oath that he has not read nor is he aware of the contents of the “side deals” that would bind the American people, that even though their contents are known to the Iranians but remain “classified” and cannot be shared with the elected representatives of the American people, something is very, very wrong.

Don’t worry Barack. Boehnor, McConnell, McCain et al will publicly piss themselves in fear and offer mewling apologies before the press.

Don’t worry Barry. They have already emasculated themselves. They will squawk, but you will get your way in undermining America.

No thanks Mr. Ed! The most transparent administration indeed.
