LAS VEGAS — There are the people on his side on the Iran deal, President Barack Obama said Monday evening. Then there are “the crazies.”
Back from a notably uneventful and restful two-week vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, Obama was immediately on the road for a short trip here, first to speak at a green energy conference hosted by retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, then to raise money for his preferred successor, former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto.
Ruddy from the sun, Obama described himself as “refreshed, renewed, recharged — a little feisty.”
And he delivered, recounting the ride he and Reid had just taken from the conference to the fundraiser in his up-armored presidential limo, where they talked about old times and getting back to Washington to “deal with the crazies in terms of managing some problems.”
The line evoked the late Dean Acheson, who as secretary of state liked to refer to opponents of Harry Truman’s foreign policy as ”the primitives.”
Getting the Iran deal through Congress will be Obama’s major hurdle coming into September.
Likely incoming Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is against the deal, as are a number of other Hill Democrats. Obama’s already been under fire for saying opponents of the deal have made “common cause” with Iranian hardliners, with Republicans pressing him on whether he’d lump Democrats into that group along with the GOP.
On Sunday, Reid backed the deal, and though he said Monday that there’s a long way to go, in the White House and beyond, his support is seen as very helpful.
“Harry’s leadership matters,” Obama said earlier at the conference, referring to his support.
In a reflective mood, Obama said he and Reid also spent part of the ride talking about “riding off in the sunset together.”
“It’s hard for me to express how much I love Harry Reid,” Obama said. “Everything I’ve accomplished I’ve accomplished because Harry Reid was by my side.”
Reid, who sat in the front row of the fundraiser, did his own gushing just a short while earlier, saying of the president, “The best is yet to come.”
Crazy because they don’t want to be nuked by Iran.
In Obama’s Behind the Looking Glass world, that’s crazy these days.
Obama, meanwhile, is perfectlty content to see Iran obtain nukes and start World War III.
So.... who’s the crazy?
Ruddy from the sun, Obama described himself as “refreshed, renewed, recharged — a little feisty.”
Obviously in the sun way too long.
Talk about throwing Harry under the bus!
I’m crazy for rejecting a sellout deal with a regime that calls for Israel’s annihilation.
Barry, all you can do is insult people who know the flaws of your deal. It sucks big time.
And a majority of Congress and the American people don’t like what’s on offer.
“recharged”
...and ready to continue his mission to finish off Amreica.
bump
I wonder if he feels the same for McConnell Boehner for helping him with TPP?
“Our positions against the usurper Zionist regime have not changed at all; Israel should be annihilated and this is our ultimate slogan.”

DO WE OR DON'T WE HAVE A "POS PRESIDENT"?
obama has been taught his whole privileged life that anyone who disagrees with him is crazy. His is simply the behavior of an over-indulged ego-maniac.
So our president can call the too-loyal opposition “crazies”, but Trump can’t tweet that he didn’t like the way his views were presented on a Fox news show—because that wasn’t “presidential”?
““It’s hard for me to express how much I love Harry Reid,” Obama said.”
Well, at least you still have McConnell.
“Our positions against the usurper Zionist regime have not changed at all; Israel should be annihilated and this is our ultimate slogan.”

Well that's enough to gag a maggot.
Interesting...
Hmm I'd describe him another way - something along the lines of marxist rectal orifice.
Funny how people see things differently.
Please say more.
