Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday launched an astonishing rebuke of former President Barack Obamas foreign policy at the site of Obamas famous speech to the Muslim world -- declaring that the age of self-inflicted American shame is over.
Pompeo delivered his remarks in Cairo, where Obama famously spoke in 2009 and promised a new beginning with Muslim and Arab countries. He was criticized by conservatives for placing too much blame on the U.S. for strife in the region.
Pompeo, while not mentioning Obama by name, said that it was here, in this city, another American stood before you and told you that radical Islamist terrorism does not stem from ideology.
He told you that 9/11 led my country to abandon its ideals, particularly in the Middle East, he said at the American University in Cairo. He told you that the United States and the Muslim world needed a new beginning. The results of these misjudgments have been dire.
Pompeo said that under Obama, the U.S. abandoned its allies and was timid about asserting itself, that the U.S. grossly underestimated the tenacity and viciousness of radical Islamism, and kept silent as Iranians tried to rise up against the regime in Tehran.
He also criticized Obama-era policy for wishful thinking [that] led us to look the other way as Hezbollah built up its weaponry in Lebanon, and for doing nothing as Syrian President Bashar Assad gassed his own people

O’Commies “legacy” going down the tubes, as it should be
Now all he has is his “you like your Dr., you keep your Dr.” BS of a “healthcare” system
Outstanding.
I heard the speech on FNC this morning. It was outstanding.
Well, I’ll be damned. Take that you swine of an American traitor
High praise for his remarks. But Pompeo is now a marked man. Depend upon it, he will be ruined by a manufactured scandal in the future, in a very public way, by the vindictive Obama/Democrat machine.
What will it be, sexual impropriety claims? Those seem to be easiest to gin up, and the press seems to gobble them up without proof. They also ruin families in a hurtful way better than mere financial charges do, so Democrats prefer them.
In years soon to come, children will be told of the man who was elected to the Presidency that was not an American. His falsified birth certificate was accepted but all other information was sealed concerning his education, courses, grades and residential status. Therefore he was not vetted properly.
He turned out to be a disaster, for eight years, as he led our nation toward a communist future. “Hope and Change” was the campaign motto, YEGADS!
Who sealed this information? “The man who never was!”
Obama slapdown bump for later....
...the age of self-inflicted American shame is over.
All it took was regime change, but we haven't quite finished that job yet. Well put, Pompeo! Thanks bitt.

Obamas Treason: Even Worse Than We Thought
Front Page ^ | June 7, 2018 | Robert Spencer / FRPosted on 6/7/2018 by detective
The Washington Free Beacon reported that the Obama administration skirted key U.S. sanctions to grant Iran access to billions in hard currency despite public assurances the administration was engaged in no such action, according to a new congressional investigation. And it gets even worse: The investigation, published Wednesday by the House Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, further discloses secret efforts by top Obama administration officials to assure European countries they would receive a pass from U.S. sanctions if they engaged in business with Iran.
This revelation comes after the news that came to light in February, that, according to Bill Gertz in the Washington Times, the U.S. government has traced some of the $1.7 billion released to Iran by the Obama administration to Iranian-backed terrorists in the two years since the cash was transferred.
There is a law that applies to this situation. U.S. Code 2381 says: Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. In a sane political environment, Barack Obama would be tried for treason. But Leftist Privilege will prevent him from ever being held accountable.(Excerpt) Read more at frontpagemag.com ...
==========================================
In a sane political environment, Barack Obama would be tried for treason. Obama has planted seeds that will be bearing bitter fruit for years, and probably decades, to come. He is, without any doubt, the worst President in American history. But there is one thing Barack Obama has on all previous competitors: treason.
Obama showered hundreds of billions of tax dollars on the Islamic Republic of Iran. There are those who say, It was their money. It belonged to the Iranian government but was frozen and not paid since 1979. Indeed, and there was a reason for that: not even Jimmy Carter, who made the Islamic Republic of Iran possible, thought that money, which had been paid by the Shahs government in a canceled arms deal, belonged to the mullahs who overthrew the Shah. Likewise Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush all thought that the Islamic Republic was not due money that was owed to the Shah.
Only Barack Obama did.
The definition of treason is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. The leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran order their people to chant Death to America in mosques every Friday, and repeatedly vow that they will ultimately destroy the United States of America and the state of Israel. How was giving them billions and helping them skirt sanctions applied by the U.S. government not treason? Other Presidents have been incompetent, corrupt, dishonest, but which has committed treason on a scale to rival the treason of Barack Obama?
The Iranians also operate a global network of jihad terror organizations, one of which, Hizballah, is quite active in Mexico now, with the obvious ultimate intention of crossing the border and committing jihad massacres of Americans. Obama has given a tremendous boost to these initiatives, as well as to Irans nuclear program, with his nuclear deal that has given the Iranians hundreds of billions of dollars and essentially a green light to manufacture nuclear weapons, in exchange for absolutely nothing.
There is no telling when the worst consequences of Obamas aid and comfort to the Islamic Republic of Iran will be felt. But they likely will be felt in one way or another. Even as President Trump moves swiftly to restore sanctions and put Iran on notice that its nuclear activity and global adventurism will not be tolerated, those billions cannot be recovered, and the Iranians have already spent a great deal for their jihad cause.
However this catastrophe plays out, there is one man who will suffer no consequences whatsoever: Barack Obama. Thats Leftist Privilege. Its good to be a powerful Leftist in Washington nowadays. Laws? Pah! Laws are for conservatives.
Explains that goofy OMG look on the Halfrican's goon face when he met his successor.
"After all we did for her, that lousy Hillary lost. "Howm I gonna get out of the mess Im in?"
"I know, well invent Russian collusion..lie like crazy...setup Trump to take the blame.
REFERENCE--- Obama's $1.3B giveaway to Iran was paid in cash Jan 22 and Feb 5 from a little-known fund administered by the US Treasury.The so-called Judgment Fund is made up of tax dollars Congress has permanently approved in the event it's needed....
SOURCE: fiscaltreasury.gov. -----The Judgment Fund was established to pay court judgments and Justice Department compromise settlements of actual or imminent lawsuits against the government. It is administered by the Judgment Fund Section, which is a part of the United States Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The Judgment Fund Internet Claims System (JFICS) is the application used to process all Judgment Fund claims.
The Judgment Fund is a permanent, indefinite appropriation available to pay judicially and administratively ordered monetary awards against the United States. The Judgment Fund is also available to pay amounts owed under compromise agreements negotiated by the U.S. Department of Justice in settlement of claims arising under actual or imminent litigation, if a judgment on the merits would be payable from the Judgment Fund. The statutory authority for the Judgment Fund is 31 U.S.C. 1304.
If funds for paying an award are otherwise provided for in the appropriations of the defendant agency, the Judgment Fund may not pay an award. A federal agency may request that payment of an award be made on its behalf from the Judgment Fund only in those instances where funds are not legally available to pay the award from the agency's own appropriations.
Amounts paid vary significantly from year-to-year. Federal agencies are not required to reimburse the Judgment Fund except when cases are filed under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) or the No FEAR Act (Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act).

Time someone did. I like Pompeo.
I think you are confused. Obama’s policies did not succeed.
I don’t recall where I said that.
