Greenfield: The Point

"If this deal goes through the Obama administration becomes the leading financier of terrorism against Americans in the world."

July 27, 2015

Obama made headlines by complaining that Republicans are being mean to him over the Iran deal.

“We’ve had a sitting senator call John Kerry ‘Pontius Pilate.’ We’ve had a sitting senator who also happens to be running for president suggest that I’m the leading state sponsor of terrorism,” Obama said, referring to Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Ted Cruz of Texas, respectively. “These are leaders in the Republican Party.”
But, the president said, when he is attacked, the people who were outraged on McCain’s behalf “are pretty quiet.”

Let's look at the facts. Here's what Ted Cruz said.

"If this deal goes through the Obama administration becomes the leading financier of terrorism against Americans in the world. I’ve heard this referred to before as the “Jihadist Stimulus Bill.”

Is Iran a state sponsor of terrorism? Obama has admitted that it is.

"Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism," Obama told Asharq al-Awsat.

Will the billions of dollars that Iran receives be used to sponsor terror? The Supreme Leader of Iran has stated that it will.

Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei gave a particularly inflammatory speech just days after the deal, stating that the Islamic Republic's policies toward the US have not changed.

"We will never stop supporting our friends in the region and the people of Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Bahrain and Lebanon," he continued, referring to the Iranian terror axis in the Middle East. "Even after this deal our policy towards the arrogant US will not change."

Secretary of State John Kerry has admitted that it will.

"Now, with respect to the money, I can’t tell you that some — you know, some amount of money might not find its way to some effort."

And that's out of $140 billion. Some money out of that is a whole lot.

1. Obama admitted Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism

2. Kerry admitted that sanctions relief will be used to sponsor terrorism

So in fact Obama's policies will lead to a huge sum of money flowing into a regime that he has admitted is a state sponsor of terrorism and which his Secretary of State has admitted will be used to sponsor terrorism.

Ted Cruz is clearly correct.

Obama can whine about the "tone" and the "rhetoric", but it's hypocritical for a guy whose proxies were accusing Republicans in the Senate of being the #47Traitors of complaining about the tone of the attacks over Iran.

The Point

Obama sounds more like Caligula with each passing day - the only palpable difference is that Obama is #1 Domestic Enemy/Hater of America, rather than just a truly evil insane Emperor. So out of touch with reality is Obama, or is he? A third term? He would win! Really - can anyone imagine a sane person saying that unless they knew how rigged the Game is and just how screwed America really is.

Years of homosexuality and drug abuse likely continue to this day with our PINO - In the spirit of Caligula, just wait for him to introduce his prize ‘horse’ to the Senate, embodied in the equally hateful traitorous Michelle who demands her quid pro quo for keeping her mouth shut about their sham life (she has already uttered these words publicly) - We must do something or these miserable creatures will be in our faces forever just like the treasonous Clintons.

Enough words - How to effectively respond to this Tyranny???
