Everyone involved seems to be trying to put the best face on it, but Barack Obama went so far as to suggest senior Democrats like Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), who take a hard line on Iran, are doing so purely to appease their donors.
Obama said that as a former senator himself, he understood how outside forces like special interests and donors can influence senators to act, one of the senators recounted.

This was a transparently bigoted, anti-semitic statement from Obama, essentially claiming that the reason Senator Menendez disagrees with his Iran policy is because of those rich Joos. Anyone who doesn't realize at this point that Obama views Jews the same way that Jesse Jackson and Reverend Jeremiah Wright do simply hasn't been paying attention.
The fact is, millions and millions of Americans don't want Iran to become a nuclear power for America AND Israel's sake...

Melendez may just have as many skeletons in his closet than Obama. This could be interesting to see who blinks first.

can influence senators to act, one of the senators recounted... Childs play compared to Soros's influence on the 'resident.

I wonder if Barack Obola and Tom Brady were separated at birth. Such bald faced liars. No sense of shame.

having no moral compass himself, and being a truly cynical political animal, Obama can understand motive if it relates to money or power.

What a nasty remark. At least Menendez, who’s a liberal Dem politician like any other, and certainly as corrupt as they all are, isn’t a Muslim trying to sell our country out to Iran.

I'm trying to figure out the end game here. Obama wants to set up Islam as the dominate world power of that there can be no doubt. But which Muslim sect? He's trying hard to help Iran get the bomb (Shiite) yet opposed Assad (Alawaite Shia ally) in favor of the rebels (Sunni) and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (Sunni). If he leans towards the Sunni as I suspect then why help the heretic Shia get the bomb? What is it that's not visible?

Read yesterday that the halfrican said he was going to crush dems that went against him.
I believe back when FDR was trying to load the Court, Congress en-mass turned against him, with a number of veto proof Bills.
We may be seeing the same thing coming. Reid and peelouisi are pretty much muzzled, so they can no longer do the halfrican’s bidding.
No one says much when nobama denigrates GOPers, but he’s gone pretty darn delusional to think he can threaten all of Congress. Even the dems are finally getting a craw full.

But I thought these politicians were elected to represent their constituents.
When I worked for a union they called taxpayers “special interests groups”. I would ask them why they didn’t consider themselves the same, but I never got an answer.

Is this the Bob Memendez who had sex with underage prostitutes?

Menendez is anti-Second Amendment and a liberal, but he treats his constituency with respect and his staff always try to be helpful. Although I disagree with the man in most cases politically, I personally have a lot of respect for him. I hate Obama the politician and Obama the individual. He is a thoroughly evil man.

The biggest problem here is that Obama is right, even if Menendez is right. As a long-time New Jersey resident I can assure you that Bob Menendez is owned by lobbyists, and he doesn't take a stand on anything without orders from his employers (who are
not the taxpayers of the U.S., mind you).
In this particular case, those opposed to Obama's Iran policy would have been better served if their position had a spokesman who wasn't as utterly corrupt and unprincipled as this bastard.
My advice is to grab the popcorn and just let these two @ssholes go at each other.

The Left does not tolerate dissent or disagreement. They will line up to destroy Menendez — not so much to defend or support obama who is nearing the end of his usefullness, but because apostasy must not be allowed to exist in a cult, especially a religious cult such as Leftism and the Democrat Party.
