Obama in Riyadh: Iran nuclear deal sign of 'strength, not weakness'
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 4/21/16 | Susan Crabtree

President Obama vigorously defended his nuclear negotiations at the end of a summit of Persian Gulf state leaders and a rocky visit to Saudi Arabia aimed at reassuring the anxious ally and seeking more support for the fight against the Islamic State.

While the president acknowledged Saudi concern that the United States should not be "naïve" when dealing with Iran, he cited previous presidents' willingness to engage in talks with Russia during the height of the Cold War as models to follow.

"John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan still negotiated with the Soviet Union even when the Soviet Union was threatening the destruction of the U.S.," he said.

"That's the same approach we have to take. Even as Iran is calling us the great Satan, we were able to get a deal done that reduces their nuclear stockpiles. That's not a sign of weakness, that's a sign of strength."

When you realize Hussein is on the side of Iran, he didn’t capitulate. He got everything he wanted.

Obama in Riyadh: Iran nuclear deal sign of ‘strength, not weakness’>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Which means we have a president who cannot tell $hit from Shinola. He can sell that story to the NY Slimes for a quarter.

Propaganda from the oval office seems particularly odoriferous these days.If it looks like $hit, smells like $hit and and sounds like $hit, it indeed is $hit. NOT SHINOLA, Mr. Obama.

Obama has a singularly crapulous legacy.
