With his misguided and naïve outreach, the president has spawned a new Iranian assertiveness, bolstered by an economic resurgence directly related to our unilateral concessions on sanctions.
Less than a day after the Republican midterm election landslide, President Barack Obama lashed out against the Republican Party as if it were America’s primary adversary in the world. On the very next day, we learned the president was secretly negotiating with one of America’s most implacable enemies, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
After six years of trying to placate America’s enemies, you would think that Obama would have learned that, in the Middle East, weakness is seen as weakness. The response to weakness will be – as it always is – increased demands, greater intransigence, disrespect and violence. If repeating the same mistakes is astute American diplomacy, then President Obama and his foreign policy advisors are masters.
Somehow, the president has concluded that Islamic State (IS) is a much more dangerous threat to America than Iran. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Iran is a powerful nation-state that is developing nuclear weapons, while it remains the leading state sponsor of worldwide terrorism. As Shahram Akbarzadeh opined in Al Jazeera, “From Iran’s point of view, history is on its side... Iran maintains the most battle-ready military force... buttressed with strong political ties with Iraq, Syria and Hezbollah. The Iranian leadership remains confident... to reclaim its role as regional leader.”
As dangerous as IS potentially is, Iran is infinitely more dangerous to long-term American security interests. If the president thinks Iran is a bulwark against Sunni jihadist terrorism, then he really doesn’t understand the nature of jihadist Shi’ite Iranian hegemonic ambitions.
The president apparently thinks there are gradations within radical Sunni and Shi’ite Islamism, some of which can become partners for shared US interests.

The President treats his friends and friends, and his enemies as enemies. Unfortunately, his friends are America’s enemies, and his enemies are America’s friends.
Because they’re not HIS friends and not HIS enemies.
Satan has no friends.
The Zero has no friends, only those he has power over. The Zero exerts power because he can, not because it is needed or wise. The Zero is just a 14 year old spoiled brat playing with toys.
That reminds me of the end scene in The Omen II, where the surrogate Mom screams, "Damien, it's all for you!" after she kills her husband (who's caught on), and is then immolated as the gas oven explodes and Damien smiles.
Satan is his only “friend”.
It really is that simple.
Pretty easy really... the POS sees our enemies as friends because they share the same perverted opinion of this country. Nothing more complicated than that...
Stupid question.
Mama boys tend to act that way.
Obama is basically NOT defending & upholding our Constitution. What else needs to be said?
His friends are not his friends and his enemies are not his enemies!!

Just guessing...
Obama compromises with Iran but not with Republicans
Obama helps illegal aliens but neglects veterans at the VA.
Etc. and etc!
Thatz “Mommie Boyz”.
Momma’s Boys love their Mom, God, Country and their neighbor and will fight for them.
Mommy boyz are bitch sisies, always employing proxies for their self serving and nefarious desires.
A decent Boy Scout can bitch slap a Mommy’s Boy.
