Let’s start off noting that Obama went completely off the rails during his Wednesday speech defending his horrible Iran deal. Powerline’s John Hinderaker wonders if this is Obama’s lowest moment yet
Today President Obama gave a speech at American University, urging acceptance of his nuclear deal with Iran. It was the usual exercise in deception and demagoguery, and he skated up to the edge of accusing opponents of the deal–a majority of Americans, apparently–of treason.
It was an exercise in strawmen, Blamestorming (including Blaming Bush), and lies
No doubt the worst portion of Obama’s speech is the one that has gotten the most attention. Note how Obama walks right up to the line of accusing Republicans in Congress of treason:
Just because Iranian hardliners chant “Death to America†does not mean that that’s what all Iranians believe. (Applause.)
No, but it is what Iran’s rulers believe. Iran’s Supreme Leader frequently leads mobs in chants of “Death to America.†Does Obama think he is kidding?
In fact, it’s those hardliners who are most comfortable with the status quo. It’s those hardliners chanting “Death to America†who have been most opposed to the deal. They’re making common cause with the Republican caucus. (Laughter and applause.)
It is also delusional. Iran’s hardliners are the regime in power. The mullahs are not aligning themselves with Republicans; on the contrary, they are trumpeting the fact that they got everything they wanted in their negotiations with John Kerry and Barack Obama. But Obama can’t, and won’t, confront that reality. He will just go on slandering his political opponents and lying to the American people.
Hinderaker notes that Obama is a bad president, but a worse man. This is exactly the kind of thing that made me write years ago that he is no longer my president. This kind of talk may be aimed at pushing recalcient Democrats to vote for the deal, but, this is insulting to the majority of Republicans and Independents, along with a small portion of Democrats, who are against this terrible deal. Say what you will about George W. Bush, he pretty much never attacked political opponents. He kept it presidential, unlike Obama, who acts more like the president of Media Matters.
He even admitted that “some” of the cash that will return to Iran will be used to fund terrorism. One thing he won’t admit to are the side deals
(The Hill)President Obama hit back at Republican opponents of his Iran nuclear deal on Twitter Wednesday.
The president denied suggestions there are secret terms to the deal that haven’t been shared with Congress and said rejecting the agreement would bolster Iran’s nuclear program.
“Important detail – there are no secret deals,†Obama wrote about the agreement, responding to a tweet from House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.).
“My staff can brief you on any question about any part of the deal,†he added.
“Mr. President, Americans deserve to know the details about the secret side deals,†Scalise had tweeted earlier Wednesday morning with the hashtag #IranDeal.
Perhaps NMP Obama should check with Secretary of State John Kerry, who admitted there are secret side deals to Congress, and that they can’t be shared with Congress and the American people. The man is a serial liar, putting the needs and wants of the hardcore Iranian regime over the needs and wants of the people he is Constitutionally bound to serve.

BHO has been a covert cooperative for islam since day one.The fact that his “history” is hidden tells us everything. His goal & the mulahs is the same chant: “Death to America” & he’s doing a damn fine job!
Jeanie “knows” what that hidden secret “history” is
She is so SMART !! She probably knows he was born in Kenya too !
Teach as far as “say what you will about Bush……. let’s remember taht he was the POTUS that reached all time low approval ratings, 1/2 of what obama has.
It was on HIS watch that 9/11 happened
It was his decision to invade and occupy both Iraq and Afghanistan though he was warned about possible downsides he did it anyway. ISIS?ISI?ISIL all were formed under Bush
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq
About 8000 Americans were killed muy muslims at war with the USA while he was POTUS
The POTUS is in charge of Foreign Policy not the GOP led Congress that has a 16% approval rating
Face it, Obama lies about everything, and I mean everything. The fact he’d lie about this so-called deal is to be expected.
As for John’s idiocy, er comment…
Jeannie is no doubt smarter than you John.
And she’s right to bring up the fact that Obama’s history is hidden. Why is that John? Because Obama is so humble?
You can rag on Bush all day long but one thing that cannot be disputed is that Bush is a man of integrity. Obama needs to be introduced to the concept.
John clumsily tries to deflect another Obama lie by…bringing up Bush. How original, how desperate. “About 8000 Americans killed while he was POTUS.” About 400,000-500,000 Americans were killed while Roosevelt and Truman were president. So what?
As usual john tries to deflect from the issue.
So here is the question john….
“Kerry testified under oath that there are secret deals. Obama, who was not under oath, said there are no secret deals. Is Obama lying or did Kerry commit perjury? Which is it?”
We all won’t hold our breath waiting for your answer because we all know you have an aversion to questions like this.
