Baack Obama and Hassan Rouhani held the first direct talks between American and Iranian leaders since the 1979 Islamic revolution, exchanging pleasantries in a 15-minute telephone call on Friday that raised the prospect of relief for Tehran from crippling economic sanctions.

Speaking at the White House shortly after the historic call, Obama said his discussion with Rouhani had shown the "basis for resolution" of the dispute over Iran nuclear programme.

Rouhani fully appreciates that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity - never has the US had such an incompetent president. Iran without any effort should be able to roll Obama for whatever they desire and Obama will remain totally oblivious aken.to how is being t

Keyboard acting up.

Rouhani fully appreciates that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity - never has the US had such an incompetent president. Iran without any effort should be able to roll Obama for whatever they desire and Obama will remain totally oblivious to how he is being taken.

This will provide the time for Iran to finish their first nuclear weapon and prevent Israel from attacking while the US is engaged in high level negotiations. Obama mission accomplished.

Obama just wanted to know what ADDRESS he should send OUR TAX MONEY and our WEAPONS to. What a HORRIBLE PERSON AS PRESIDENT we are stuck with.

This little footnote to the decline of Western Civilization will be known as the "Muslim Summit". One wonders if Obama wore his knee-pads for the call?

I wonder ...

I O’Bama had been in the Westgate Mall and was questioned by the terrorists, would he have been killed, or did he recite the Koran from memory?

this stupidity

On so many levels. Get in Obama's head. He decides he's not going to negotiate with US citizens who don't agree with him on Obamacare, so moves on to very dangerous discussions with Iran....after batting about 100% total failure so far on foreign affairs.

I'd love to see the war mongering stop. But with a weakened, ridiculed and mostly despised Obama negotiating with Iran? It's a recipe for disaster.

One of the few people in America that the muzzies would not consider severing his head...cause he’z one of’em.

Read and article out of Israel last evening, some in the intelligence community believe Iran already possesses at least one atomic bomb.

The reasoning for the Iranian leaders smug acceptance and new found willingness to negotiate is that they won. They know they've won and now they can open up dialog with a softer tone.

It makes sense.
