Ben Rhodes admits administration lied to sell Iran deal

Ben Rhodes is perhaps the weirdest foreign policy adviser in the history of the White House. His path to his current position as deputy national security adviser for strategic communications was, as this New York Times profile informs us, "perhaps not strictly believable, even as fiction."

Forget his title. Ben Rhodes is "the single most influential voice shaping American foreign policy aside from Potus himself," according to the Times. What makes that so bizarre is that Rhodes has no background in foreign policy at all.

And, how very Obama of him.
This entire administration is made up of sneaks and cheats that are totally full of themselves.
It is a rogue collection of hate America socialists.
There is only one thing I would agree with them on.
They view roughly half of the people in this country as being bloomin’ dim-wits and who will believe anything, and especially so if you promise them free stuff.
