President Obama chided Iran for focusing on violent rhetoric rather than doing work to advance its economic interests during his speech Monday before the United Nations General Assembly, saying that chanting death to America does not create jobs or make Iran more secure.
That path is now available to a nation like Iran, which, as of this moment, continues to deploy violent proxies to advance its interests, Obama said. These efforts may appear to give Iran leverage in disputes with neighbors, but they fuel sectarian conflict that endangers the entire region and isolates Iran from the promise of trade and commerce. The Iranian people have a proud history and are filled with extraordinary petition, but chanting death to America does not create jobs or make Iran more secure.
If Iran chooses a different path, that would be good for the security of the region, good for the Iranian people, and good for the world.
Amid nuclear negotiations with Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei and members of Parliament publicly said death to America, to which the White House responded with a shrug as those statements were intended for a domestic political audience.
Obama also compared Republicans in opposition to his nuclear deal to hardliners in Iran, suggesting they had common cause because they all wanted the agreement to fail. Several Democrats, including Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), announced their opposition to the deal as well, however.
Why do they need jobs? Let them chant Death to America while the “rich” pay for their housing and food stamps and Obamacare.
Incredibly stupid man in the WH...
No kidding.
Ah, if the Iranian mullahs, like ISIS had jobs, it would all be good.
No wonder Marie Harf was such a hit at State.
Brilliant!!!!
Lies are a tough thing to sell. Man, that’s some hard work he and his speechwriters have to do.
Chanting “death to America” does not create jobs. It does, however, give Obama a reason to help them pay for their nukes. The Iranian leaders like nukes more than they like producing something useful.
Sure seems like a fun place to take a vacation.
Iranians chanting “Death to America” DOES create jobs, in the Iranian Republican Guard.
It is called “a full employment program”.
Let me clue you in, Bath House. The Iranian leadership is not interested in this life, nor in jobs, nor in security, but in their moon god and in their brothel heaven.
The ever so brilliant Marie Harf?
Hey, we tried to warn the Iranians, but they wouldn't listen. Now Obama has chided them. That'll show them not to mess with us!
Now go getch your shine box!
Marie Harf? Isn’t she on Saturday Night Live, real goofy chick....?
