When a petulant, vindictive president speaks, this is what you hear

 Political Cartoons by Bob Gorrell

An evil and ugly speech  . . . "It is an evil and ugly and dishonest speech — not from beginning to end, but at key points, with premeditation and intent to do harm. I challenge readers to find its like by any president in our history. It represents a nadir in presidential oratory and rhetoric. It warrants the closest attention." . . .
"Obama has jammed this deal down the throats of the American people. With the mechanics of the Corker bill in place and Obama’s Democratic adherents reliably in line behind him, Congress will present no serious obstacle to the deal. Obama’s Jew-baiting is the gratuitous act of an extraordinarily vindictive and, to give him the benefit of the doubt, misguided man. It should be nevertheless be recognized for what it is.
"Obama’s real problem is not with Israel or Jews, but rather with the American people."
 President Obama stands by comments linking Republicans to Iranian hard-liners 
"Obama said he was talking to the Democrats who were unsure of their vote “all the time.' ”

Obama and the Iranian Revolution Guard Corps
. . . "Just because the sanctions regime allowed the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) more control over the Iranian economy does not mean that the lifting of sanctions will lessen the Revolutionary Guards’ economic power." . . .

Is Obama’s Smear Campaign to Defend the Iran Deal Backfiring?
 The basic idea is simple: to oppose the president’s Iran deal means you want war with Iran, you’re an Israeli agent, you are in the pay of Jewish donors, and you are abandoning the best interests of the United States. So Dan Pfeiffer, senior political adviser to Obama until this winter, tweeted that Senator Charles Schumer — who announced his opposition to the Iran deal last week — should not be Democratic leader in the Senate because he “wants War with Iran.”


RedState comments:    . . . "The criticism of Republicans is about what America can expect from a man who was elected to be a divider instead of a uniter. His followers expect the road to Hell to be paved with dead Republicans and this issue is just one more opportunity to serve up the read meat to rabid ideological pit bulls." . . .

 Ugliness: Iran deal supporters call Schumer a greedy, disloyal Jew   "Ever since the White House leaked Thursday night that Sen. Chuck Schumer would be coming out against the Iran deal, the progressive movement has foamed at the mouth with vitriol directed Schumer’s way.
"Much of it is just the plain old progressive vitriol of the MoveOn.org, Daily Kos and netroots types. Schumer is a warmonger, wants war, loves war, and so on."

Brutal new ad featuring wounded vet: Why are we making nuclear deals with a country that tried to kill me?
"Hawks have tried to persuade them. Now it’s time to shame them. Via Iowahawk, according to one estimate, the deaths of more than 500 U.S. troops in Iraq can be directly linked to Iran."
