Ben Rhodes admits administration lied to sell Iran deal
American Thinker ^ | May 6, 2016 | Rick Moran

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. He was a failed short story writer who wandered into the orbit of Obama aides almost by accident and served as a speechwriter during the campaign.

But he helped the administration identify friendly reporters and nonprofits who could be counted on to carry a completely false and misleading "narrative" about the Iran deal.

And it worked.

The only thing Obama has been honest about during his candidacy and presidency has been “we will fundamentally transform” the nation.

These smug little shits need to have an unfortunate accident.

They aren't any good for America, or mankind, and are oxygen thiefs.

They didn’t have to lie.

They could have been open and honest and it still would have passed.

So the fake administration lied about the "deal" with Iran that isn't signed, hasn't been ratified, and has secret codicils that haven't been released.

Sounds about right.

Meanwhile, the press, Congress, and half or more of the US population are crooning “Lie to me! I want to believe your lies!”

I hate this administration so much. I hate MSM who lets this happen. I strongly dislike those who voted for him.

If only the Republicans were in charge of the House and Senate, we might have heard about this treasonous deal that Obama made with America’s enemies! What???? They WERE? Then they deserve being thrown out of office. Voters can’t continue being this clueless or the country will be destroyed.

“His brother David Rhodes is President of See BS News!”

Our lives, and the future of our children has been under the unauthorized control of an oligarchy of unimpressive selfish people. Truly.
