House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is slamming President Donald Trump for what he calls a reckless departure from the “smart diplomacy” of the Obama era, specifically criticizing Trump’s decision to abandon the Iran nuclear deal and launch attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
During an interview with ABC News on Sunday, Jeffries pointed to the controversial Obama administration strategy, which he called “successful,” that included sending pallets of cash to Tehran as a model of diplomacy.
“We need the case to be made by the administration to the American people as to how to best accomplish the objective of preventing Iran from becoming nuclear capable,” Jeffries said. “Why did they abandon the aggressive diplomacy that was successful under the Obama administration?”

In 2016, the Obama administration acknowledged transferring $1.7 billion in cash to Iran. ... Jeffries has strongly opposed Trump’s military strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, calling the attacks “unconstitutional” because he, and other Democrats, claim that only Congress has the power to declare war

Obama would have been delighted if a nuclear war had broken out in the Middle East.
Hakeem I(wonder why his parents picked that name?) is an example of a diploma bearing idiot.
I’ve watched his speaking recently and he’s about as smart as Kamela.
I wonder why Skyhook Hakeem could never get his football head I.Q. out of single digits.
*My affectionate name for the 44th president
Seeing these words in the same sentence makes me think we should use this in the dictionary to define oxymoron.
I think he meant to say that the type of diplomacy that really smarts.
“”During an interview with ABC News on Sunday, Jeffries pointed to the controversial Obama administration strategy, which he called “successful,” that included sending pallets of cash to Tehran as a model of diplomacy.””
Funny. I would have sworn the heading was a Babylon Bee one. Who woulda thunk that the leftists could get even more delusional and that things would become even more surreal... that we’re even having to have this conversation.
Jeffries Has the IQ of a grapefruit.
“”...“smart diplomacy” of the Obama era...
Seeing these words in the same sentence makes me think we should use this in the dictionary to define oxymoron.””
Well, it would make sense if you changed it to “smart-@ss diplomacy”. Obama was and still is the biggest smart-@ss on the planet, so far.

Minority leader - on more than one level
It appears that the progress of artificial intelligence is fostering New Frontiers in natural stupidity.
Does he have to work at being stupid or is it natural?
Nothing to learn from a person named “Hakeem”.
“Why did they abandon the aggressive diplomacy that was successful under the Obama administration”
Let me see some evidence Obama’s payoff was successful. Many believe the opposite - the money funded terror attacks around the world, and advanced their nuclear program.
In the spirit of bipartisanship, let’s drop 1.7 billion dollars in munitions on them
I think his stupidity started as a natural talent, but with continuing work on it he’s gotten to world class
Gee Jeff, your fellow traveler, Obama was paying the Iranians and they still worked on the weapon. So Jeff what’s your plan B?
That’s how depraved he is.
