Obama says tying Iran deal to recognition of Israel "misjudgment"

WASHINGTON -- Requiring Iran to recognize Israel in a comprehensive agreement over its nuclear program is misguided policy, US President Barack Obama said on Monday.

In an interview with National Public Radio, Obama spoke to the suggestion put forth by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week. The Israeli premier says that Iran's behavior should fundamentally change before restrictions on its nuclear program are lifted.

A framework for a comprehensive nuclear agreement was reached last week in Switzerland between Iran and world powers.

"The notion that we would condition Iran not getting nuclear weapons in a verifiable deal on Iran recognizing Israel is really akin to saying that we won't sign a deal unless the nature of the Iranian regime completely transforms," Obama told NPR. "And that is, I think, a fundamental misjudgment."

As usual, our Crappiest President Ever has an opportunity to be on the right side of history. He could use this opportunity to effect meaningful social change in Iran, recognition of human rights and regime change, and to improve the world situation as a whole, but he tosses all that to the wind.

Obama truly has the Midas^H^H^H^H^Hfecal touch.

Mad men who want to wipe another country off the map shouldn’t get nuclear weapons, I think we should all agree on that. Noone is asking them to fundamentally change

Wow, an interview with NPR. That had to have taken some guts to go face all the tough questions, all the grilling those hard-core journalists were eager to dish out. /s

The more I hear Obbumer talk, the more I think he strings together words that he likes the sound of and thinks will impress others. Much like a douche bag at a cocktail party who combines a fragile ego and narcissistic self fascination.

That is the guy you avoid because of the never ending one sided conversation you don't want to have. He won't hear anything you say but will corner a likely suspect. Just don't piss off a guy like that. He will get his revenge and is willing to drive wedges between you and people he knows that like you.

This guy may be lazy at heart but motivated to go farther than anybody else to get revenge.

Netanyahu did not ask for "recognition of Israel." He asked for recognition of Israel's right to exist. The difference is substantial.
