President Obama gave a pep talk to U.S. diplomats Monday, urging them to “finish strong” as his administration enters its final months, and defending his diplomatic “breakthroughs” with Iran and Cuba.

“There are those who criticize our commitment to diplomacy, for investing so much effort in trying to resolve conflicts that seem intractable,” Mr. Obama said during a visit to the State Department in Washington. “Here’s the truth: conflicts and wars do not end on their own. Breakthroughs don’t just happen. Agreements don’t write themselves. It takes diplomacy, being willing to sit down with others.”

Citing the Iranian nuclear deal, the Paris climate-change agreement and a fragile cease-fire in Syria’s civil war, Mr. Obama said the developments are examples of “strong, principled diplomacy at work.”

“Let’s keep it going,” Mr. Obama said, noting that his administration has 10 months remaining. “Let’s finish strong. Let’s run through the tape.”

0bama's delusions would be laughable it he wasn't such a threat to our country.

Communists say the craziest things.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Surrender is one way to end conflict.

“wars..take diplomacy”

". . . trying to resolve conflicts that seem intractable . . . It takes diplomacy, being willing to sit down with others.”

In other words, intractable problems can be resolved by simple surrender. We resolved the Iranian problem by paying them billions of dollars to continue building nukes. We resolved the Cuba issue by starting on their path to communism. To Obama, this is a win. To those who thought the Holocaust was bad and to those who love freedom, it's the biggest loss in history.

Obama is a threat to the entire world. God protect us.

[jazusamo]

Yep, and surrender is his favorite method of diplomacy.

[Moonman62]

I cite them as examples of treason.

[jazusamo]

You’re absolutely right...Treason.

Citing the Iranian nuclear deal, the Paris climate-change agreement and a fragile cease-fire in Syria’s civil war...

That's three strikes right there!

When did the cease-fire in Syria start? The Iranian nuclear deal - great for the Iranians! And climate change? What a joke.

OMG!

Typical Liberal. Take credit for fantasy solutions to problems they created.

Obama is the reason Iran is still working on Nuclear Weapons. Only now, we are giving the $150 Billion for their effort. What did we get out of that deal again? The deal doesn’t even say, “Iran will never get nuclear weapons.”

ISIS? Oh, wait. He didn’t mention Isis did he.

Lybia, Russia, China? Oh he’s doing great.

They are examples of what happens when you let a F***ing idiot run things.

[Vince Ferrer]

Ok, what did we get from either of them?
