Obama Demanding Iran Deal As It's His Last Best Hope To Keep Promises Made In Cairo Speech

The Lid

 

.."Many have claimed that Barack Obama is recklessly pursuing a nuclear deal with Iraq because he wants a foreign policy achievement for his presidential legacy. According to Michael Oren, former Israeli ambassador to the US that is true, but not in the way one thinks.  He is not trying to preserve his legacy to the American People, he is trying to preserve his legacy to the Muslim world by keeping the promise he made during his 2009 speech at Cairo University in Egypt.

"President Obama's speech in Cairo was historic.  No other President has gone to a foreign nation to so publicly throw a strong ally under the bus., he gave  unprecedented support for the Palestinians and recognized Iran's right to nuclear power,  downplayed the role of terrorism, and made Hamas look like a rowdy Boys Glee Club." . . .

Former Ambassador Oren related in recent Foreign Policy article that every policy move made by the Obama administration toward the Muslim world was signaled in that speech.

On Hillary Clinton

The fact that many people are still prepared to vote for Hillary Clinton to be president of the United States, in times made incredibly dangerous by the foreign-policy disasters on her watch as secretary of state, raises painful questions about this country.
  The following article.

 Hillary’s Abysmal Record as Secretary of State Alone Should Disqualify Her from the Presidency. . . This is one of the painful but inescapable signs of our time. There is nothing in her history that would qualify her for the presidency, and much that should disqualify her. What is even more painful is that none of that matters politically. Many people simply want “a woman” to be president, and Hillary is the best-known woman in politics, though by no means the best qualified. What is Hillary’s history? In the most important job she has ever held — secretary of state — American foreign policy has had one setback after another, punctuated by disasters." . . .

Say bye-bye to Hillary's Russian reset. . . "Let's hope that one of those reporters obsessed with the Confederate Flag will ask Hillary Clinton about the reset five years later.  Without question, Russia is one of the biggest failures of the Obama foreign policy.  And Hillary Clinton owns it, reset button and all."

Looks like Hillary has been Less than Forthcoming with her E-mails

. . . “Once again the Benghazi Committee uncovers information that should already be part of the public record but was not made available to the American people or congressional investigators,” said Gowdy, R-S.C. “These emails should have been part of the public record when Secretary Clinton left office and at a bare minimum included when the State Department released Clinton’s self-selected records on Libya. For that reason, the committee has made the decision to release the latest set of Clinton’s public records unearthed by the committee.' ” . . .

It would be nice if leftists abhorred images of Che, the hammer & sickle and the red star as much as they abhor the confederacy's flag...

The Astute Bloggers
 "Lincoln is one of my heroes.
"The rebels seceded to save the horror of slavery - and that they got what they deserved.
"But the confederate flag is no worse than images of Che and the red star and the hammer & sickle."

 

" If we really want to stop horrors like what happened in Charleston, then what we really need to do is stop the race-baiting - which stokes the flames on both extremes, and focus on ridding the streets of sociopathic psychos."

"I blame Obama and Sharpton and Holder and 6 years of race-baiting - from Trayvon to Ferguson to Baltimore - for stoking the flames and making things worse than  they were in 2008.

"It is no accident that the NBPP was watching the polls in Philly and committing voter intimidation in behalf of Obama and that Holder dropped the case against them as soon as he was sworn in.

"Stoking the flames of racism was a key part of their playbook. And a classic Alinsky strategy.
"Things really won't get better until Obama is gone, and then only if he is replaced by a GOP POTUS."Sadly,  Obama and his comrades will do whatever they can between now and the next election to make the race war worse - as they think it helps them at the polls.
"Sigh.

"Obama has truly been the worst, most harmful and destructive POTUS of all-time."

Obama Rips Confederate Flag; Laments “Distorted Impression” of Muslims

Oops, sorry; we posted the wrong photo. We meant to use the one below.

 Voice of Lillpop

 

"Barack Obama continues to build on his paradoxical reputation as a racist agitator and defender of throat-cutting, Jihad-crazed Muslims.

"In response to the evil murder of nine church-going African Americans in Charleston, South Carolina, Obama joined the lynching crowds that would blame the tragedy, at least in part, on the Confederate Flag.

"As reported, "The president has said before he believes the Confederate flag belongs in a museum, and that is still his position," Eric Schultz, a White House spokesman, told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday.

"A museum, sir?

"Then what about the Koran, the Islam equivalent of the Holy Bible, and the Users Manual for decapitations, throat cuttings, live burning, and other barbaric acts against infidels who fail to embrace the murderous dogma of Mohamed, the Prophet?

"Shall this murderous volume from the sixth century be consigned to a museum and banned from public exposure to protect Christians, Jews, and others who regard Mohammed and Islam as deadly religious frauds?

"Paradoxically and curiously, when it comes to “Religion of peace” blood letting and abuse, Barack Obama is far more understanding and anxious for tolerance.

"As reported: President Obama stressed religious tolerance during an Iftar dinner to celebrate the Muslim holiday of Ramadan, linking the murders of nine black Christians in South Carolina with the killings of three Muslims in North Carolina earlier this year.

"As Americans, we insist that nobody should be targeted because of who they are, or what they look like, who they love, how they worship. We stand united against these hateful acts."
Obama lamented the "distorted impression" that many Americans have of Muslims.
"Here in America, many people personally don’t know someone who is Muslim. They mostly hear about Muslims in the news — and that can obviously lead to a very distorted impression," Obama said.

"Of course, learning about the Confederate Flag from the media is entirely acceptable, as long as the news promotes the false narrative that the Confederate Flag, and the South, is all about racism, slavery, hangings, burning crosses, and other evils committed by hooded white Christians!

"Distorted impressions, indeed, sir!"

The best single article on why the Iran nuke deal is a bad one. (Published today by a surprising source)

 

American Thinker  "The Obama administration agues that the breakout time for Iran to develop a bomb, if they choose to do so, will extended from 2-3 months to about a year as a result of the current deal.  This is patently false.  This article in the New York Times (!) today suggests that the increase in the breakout time that will result from the deal is from two months to three months, or a net gain of one month.  For this, Iran will have sanctions eliminated, and $150 billion released.  Does this sound like a fair exchange?

"Alan J. Kuperman writes in “The Iran Deal’s Fatal Flaw”:

Breakout time is determined by three primary factors: the number and type of centrifuges; the enrichment of the starting material; and the amount of enriched uranium required for a nuclear weapon. Mr. Obama seems to make rosy assumptions about all three.

Most important, in the event of an overt attempt by Iran to build a bomb, Mr. Obama’s argument assumes that Iran would employ only the 5,060 centrifuges that the deal would allow for uranium enrichment, not the roughly 14,000 additional centrifuges that Iran would be permitted to keep mainly for spare parts. Such an assumption is laughable. In a real-world breakout, Iran would race, not crawl, to the bomb. (snip)
…since the deal would permit Iran to keep only a small amount of enriched uranium in the gaseous form used in centrifuges, Mr. Obama assumes that a dash for the bomb would start mainly from unenriched uranium, thereby lengthening the breakout time. But the deal would appear to also permit Iran to keep large amounts of enriched uranium in solid form (as opposed to gas), which could be reconverted to gas within weeks, thus providing a substantial head-start to producing weapons-grade uranium.
Third, Mr. Obama’s argument assumes that Iran would require 59 pounds of weapons-grade uranium to make an atomic bomb. In reality, nuclear weapons can be made from much smaller amounts of uranium (as experts assume North Korea does in its rudimentary arsenal). A 1995 study by the Natural Resources Defense Council concluded that even a “low technical capability” nuclear weapon could produce an explosion with a force approaching that of the Hiroshima bomb — using just 29 pounds of weapons-grade uranium.

Remember there are many in the US who support Obama and this Iran deal:

 

Why state governments should take down the Confederate flag. (And this will not end with just the flag)

 

Volokh Conspiracy
. . . " It is long past time that state governments stopped displaying the Confederate flag, and otherwise honoring Confederate leaders. We should not honor people whose main claim to fame was waging a bloody war for the purpose of perpetuating and extending the evil institution of slavery. Some still deny that this was the motivation for Confederate secession. But overwhelming evidence proves otherwise. You don’t have to take my word for the proposition that slavery was at the root of the Confederate agenda, or even the word of John Stuart Mill. Take that of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, vice president Alexander Stephens (who called slavery “the cornerstone” of the Confederacy), and southern states’ own official statements outlining their reasons for seceding." . . .

21 Ways Obama Attempted to Assassinate the U.S.-Israel Relationship

Doug Ross   " America's heroine Pamela Geller points us to an exceptional summary of diplomat Michael Oren's new book. The former Israeli Ambassador to the United States -- no right-winger to be sure -- has outlined a stunning insider's look at Obama's assassination of the relationship between the two longtime allies. Adam Kredo, writing at Washington Free Beacon, outlines some of the most outrageous revelations.“ 'Prophecy was not required to foresee that an Obama presidency might strain the U.S.-Israel alliance,” Oren writes in the early pages of his book... Obama stacked his administration with senior officials hostile to Israel and pursued a policy of “daylight” with Jewish state, Oren recounts... “The first thing Obama will do in office is pick a fight with Israel,” Oren recalls a confidant as telling him in the early days of the administration.
Hillary had a large part in this as well, in case you wondered how she would affect our relationship with our old ally Israel

"Below are a series of passages that reveal in detail how the U.S.-Israel alliance hit historic lows under the Obama administration." . . .
 An excerpt:

2. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Commanders Never Trusted Obama
Oren recounts listening to Obama’s 2009 speech in Cairo while stationed in the IDF’s headquarters. “Their reactions typified that of a great many Israelis.”
These commanders “scoffed at what they regarded as Obama’s inexperience with the Middle East, where magnanimity is often seen as weakness. They cringed at his tendency to equate America’s moral foibles with the honor killings, human trafficking, and the suppression of women, foreign workers, and indigenous minorities rampant in many Muslim countries,” Oren writes.
Their opinions only grew dimmer when Obama “linked that legitimacy [of Israel] to the Jews’ ‘tragic history’ in the Holocaust. That linkage seemed to me to be the most damaging part of his speech.”

“As President, I spend most of my time focused on the Economy.”

Shooter Dylann Roof's Manifesto: Who to Blame for Race War? Jews!

Jawa Report   "First indication you have a serious problem is when you decide to write a Manifesto . Predictably the rant will include Jews.

Thats what racial awareness is, its viewing everything that happens through a racial lense. They are always thinking about the fact that they are black. This is part of the reason they get offended so easily, and think that some thing are intended to be racist towards them, even when a White person wouldnt be thinking about race. The other reason is the Jewish agitation of the black race.

 . . .
 The same from ISIS:

 Its [Islamic State's] actions speak louder than its words and it is only a matter of time and patience before it reaches Palestine to fight the barbaric Jews and kill those of them hiding behind the gharqad trees – the trees of the jews."

White House Lied About Gruber’s Role In Developing Obamacare

 Obama's "just some guy" defense again.

"JUST SOME ADVISOR’ MY @SS:"

 

"Remember the guy who called Americans ‘stupid’ and Obama brushed him off as being ‘some advisor’? It actually turns out he had a lot more to do with developing Obamacare than the White House would like us to think, according to some new revealing e-mails.

President Obama’s dismissal of MIT’s Jonathan Gruber as just “some adviser” he barely remembers, rather than a key architect of ObamaCare, has always been one of the flimsiest and most transparent lies told by this profoundly dishonest White House.

Everyone knew Gruber was critical to ObamaCare, and when he was caught on tape high-fiving himself for helping to fool what he described as “stupid” American voters with the Affordable Care Act’s web of false promises and ludicrous projections, he was speaking from the Administration’s heart.

It’s still newsworthy that the House Oversight Committee has released emails to the Wall Street Journal showing Gruber had a far closer working relationship with the White House than it wanted to admit:

Will Rachel Dolezal deliver Affirmative Action coup de grâce?

 Donald Trump spent Wednesday at Trump Tower giving interviews to ABC News and Fox News to explain why he's running for president of the United States. What a show. He was wearing so much facial bronzer it looks like he's also running for president of the Spokane Chapter of the NAACP.

 Psychology Today printed a report criticizing Americans for their lack of concern about mental health care. We think we're perfectly fine. Americans feel if Bruce Jenner can identify as a woman and Rachel Dolezal can identify as black, Donald Trump has a perfect right to identify as the president. Comedian Argus Hamilton

Legal Insurrection
 "If Rachel Dolezal didn’t exist, someone would have had to invent her because she so embodies everything that is wrong with race-based politics and theories so prevalent in Higher Ed.

"Dolezal is white. Elizabeth Warren white. As Mark Steyn once put it with regard to Warren, “the whitest white since Frosty the Snowman fell in a vat of Wite-Out.”

"Warren passed herself off as Native American, but mostly in secret so she could get put on a list of Minority Law Teachers in a 1980s directory used for hiring.

"Dolezal was very public in her adoption of a black identity. And she’s standing by it.
Because Dolezal feels black, she says she is. It’s what is called among the campus activist class “lived experience.' ” . . .
