Obama Praises Iranian Dictator in Nowruz Address, Throws US Allies Under Bus
Breitbart ^ | 20 Mar 2015 | Jordan Schachte

Posted on 03/21/2015 5:17:30 AM PDT by Son House

President Obama adds: In this sense, Iran’s leaders have a choice between two paths. If they cannot agree to a reasonable deal, they will keep Iran on the path it’s on today—a path that has isolated Iran, and the Iranian people, from so much of the world, caused so much hardship for Iranian families, and deprived so many young Iranians of the jobs and opportunities they deserve.

President Obama continues to speak of Iran’s “leaders” as if anyone other than the Ayatollah would have a final say on the nuclear deal. His White House has frequently decried congressional efforts to institute further sanctions, citing how “sensitive” the negotiations remain, largely because of a supposed friction between Iran’s “hard-liners” and reformers in Parliament.

But in reality, only a tiny percentage of candidates who seek higher office in Iran are deemed “qualified” to even run in an election and represent the Islamic Republic. Iran’s Council of Guardians, which is the body that decides who can and cannot run for office, is hand-picked by the Ayatollah.

Others have suggested that the ballots are completely rigged for the Ayatollah’s preferred candidate, even if reform candidates make it to election day. Therefore, there is no real tension between the “hard-liners” and reformers because those who overtly seek a real change in Iranian society either never make it to the ballot box or never have a legitimate opportunity.

Mr. Obama concludes:

This is what’s at stake today. And this moment may not come again soon. I believe that our nations have an [sic] historic opportunity to resolve this issue peacefully–an opportunity we should not miss. As the poet Hafez wrote, “It is early spring. Try to be joyful in your heart. For many a flower will bloom while you will be in clay.”

Just wow, he acts as if these people have freedom and liberty as we do. No this is likely much worse than East Germany back in the 1980's before the Berlin Wall was torn down to make a comparison even close to what someone from a free western nation could understand.

While the media and other Democrats are silent there is something that ain't right going on here. And why the American people cannot see the full text of this 'agreement' is just another con-job the media and other Democrats are to try to sell us on.

He could have spoken this way to the Green Movement, but then again he didn’t have Valerie’s permission.

"I like the cheeky, treasonous audacity of Obama.
If I only had a fraction of his contempt of all law
and his docile fawning greedy treasonous Congress,
I would have crushed to death the English below me."

Just wait till he comes closer to the end of his term, he’s going to come more and more out of the closet as the radical Muslim he is and I can’t wait because this will destroy the Democrap party. Let it all come out, that’s he’s been nothing but a radical Islamic agent since day one. Wait till he does his pardons, starts pardoning terrorists, 911 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed, you are hereby pardoned. Zacaria Moussaoui you are hereby pardoned. How many billion tons of evidence do people need till they wake up to the fact that the Democrap party in all their arrogance incredibly put the enemy in the nations highest office and in time of war no less? This guy acts exactly how Osama Bin Landen would act if he were President. Only 7 years after the worst terror attack in world history and this disgusting excuse for a party put the enemy in charge of the nation, put in charge someone who sides with those responsible. If the Republican party had one scintilla of gonads they would publicize that FACT 24/7!

And remembering he bragged about being able to deal diplomatically back when Ahmadinejad, 2005–2013, was their President, and now he thinks he’s going to prove something to rest of us.

Obies currently coming unwound. The Drama Level has been steadily rising over the last few months and even moreso over the last several weeks.

He can barely contain his rage.

WHEN he goes full JIHAD the entire world will be watching

Yes that’s another thing, he’s starting to lose control being the psycho Muslim he is, and there’s a big chance he’s going slip up, do something so incredibly outrageous Congress will have no choice but to act. Either way, unless the demographics of this country is beyond all repair, the next time a Democrap is elected POTUS will be never IF the Republican party doesn’t screw up the opportunity which they probably will. Putting this guy in office has GOT to be the single biggest disaster in US political history, absolutely hands down. It’s going to be decades and decades before the damage this putz has done is ever settled, it if ever can be because he is working overtime to make sure those Islamo-Nazis get them nukes and once they do the world will never be the same.

I’d hazard a guess that the “average” American....aka the Low Information Voter,, has little idea of just how very much the game changer allowing the utter CRAZIES in Iran to become “Nuclear Capable” is.

Barry being quite the nihilist...us simply beside himself In ECSTASY at the very Prospect.

His DIsconnect has been apparent since day one...but it’s reached the level of becoming visible to all but the very most self deluded at this point.

When Mt. Obama ...explodes it will send ash thousands of miles into the air!

What can we expect of a President who consistently stands with criminals and liars against good people?

It's who he is...

Standing with our enemies and against our friends is disgusting. Democrats should hang their heads in shame.

His parting shots will be black reparations and total unilateral nuclear disarmament.

Maybe throw in an EMP blast.

Thomas Dowell fears lots of stuff.

He’s on record saying.point-blank that America’s greatest risk is a nuclear Iran.

He said it would.be.a.total.catastrophe.

The US stands for nothing under Obama and thats the reason there is such turmoil and violence in the world today. We have no allies, ask the Poles if they expect the US to come to their aid if Russia attacks.
