White House criticized for ‘Straight Outta Uranium’ tweet pushing Iran deal
The Washington Times ^ | Friday, August 14, 2015 | Jessica Chasmar

The White House faced backlash on Twitter Tuesday after it altered a “Straight Outta Compton” film poster to push the controversial Iran deal.

The @TheIranDeal Twitter account — the official White House account for the deal — jumped into the meme-making craze for the N.W.A. film “Straight Outta Compton” after Buzzfeed called it “the most memetacular film of 2015.”

The White Housereplied by saying, “@BuzzFeed And thanks to the #IranDeal, Iran will be …,” linking to a meme that read, “Straight Outta Uranium.”

Buzzfeed responded to the tweet in an article titled “The White House just completely ruined the ‘Straight Outta Compton’ meme.”

“Among the more troubling parts of the tweet, aside from the general terribleness of political accounts, is that the deal doesn’t actually get rid of all of Iran’s uranium,” Buzzfeed reported. “The deal as announced and pored over places limits on Iran’s nuclear program, but still lets them enrich to a certain (not usable in a weapon) point.”

A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Buzzfeed that the tweet was meant to reach a broad base of Twitter users.

Iran can get U.S. uranium cheap from Russia thanks to Hillary’s private dealings while she was Sec. State for 0dumbo.

Everytime I see that racist pr**k in another movie, I wanna scream. Any white person that says anything even remotely “racist” and their careers are ruined forever. Google “Caucasoid Cave Bitch”

I have found it curious how so many rappers went on to become actors.

Iran will be …,” linking to a meme that read, “Straight Outta Uranium.”...sorta funny - had we not gone into Iraq when we did, it very probably would have fallen to Iran by now and that five hundred tons of yellow cake that was quietly removed from Iraq in 2005 would have now been in the hands and centrifuges of Iran - they wouldn't have been straight out of uranium....

It’s utterly embarrassing. The symbol of the presidency has been tarnished to glib pop culture references. There’s nothing else of substance.

Do you think they really matured that far?

More like fifth grade if you ask me.
