GOP Ticks Off Obama With Open Letter To Iran, Captain Teleprompter Makes An Idiot Of Himself On Monday, Barack Obama uttered one of the most ridiculous statements to come out of his mouth yet during his time in the Oval Office: I think its somewhat ironic to see some members for Congress wanting to make common cause with the hard-liners in Iran. Its an unusual coalition, Obama said Monday ahead of a meeting with European Council President Donald Tusk. I think what were going to focus on right now is actually seeing whether were going to get a deal or not. Once we do, if we do, well be able to make the case to the American people, and Im confident well be able to implement it, Obama said. The O-man, of course, is referring to the open letter to Iran, signed by 47 members of the U.S. Senate, warning the leaders of the middle eastern nation that they can make a deal with Obama all they want for a nuclear program, but realistically, it will most likely die the day he leaves the White House. Thats the way U.S. law works. Treaties must be ratified by the Senate in order for them to have any kind of effect. That sits in the Constitution, and has since the day that document was signed in September of 1787. It is beyond unlikely that this Senate would ratify any treaty negotiated by the Obama Administration for a nuclear deal with Iran. Continuing to honor any agreement made with Obama, regardless of whether or not he signs it, is contingent on whoever succeeds him. The letter was meant to be a warning to Iran not to make any such deal as the Obama Administration is about the only government department world-wide that advocates it. Everyone else recognizes that this would be a springboard for Iran getting a nuclear weapon, and none of their neighbors in the Middle East want to see that happen. What makes the statement above so incredulous is the idea that main author of the letter, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) would be siding with Iranian hardliners. (Obama should not try to utter an Alinskyism without coaching.) What sort of idiots does Obama think we are? The hardliners are the people running the Iranian government who are negotiating for nuclear capability with a lame duck president who has no backing from Congress on this matter. Tom Cotton is correct. There is no guarantee that the next president will have anything to do with this deal. (One of the few favors FDR did the country was the 22nd amendment.) As for selling the deal to the American people AFTER it is negotiated, that was done with Obamacare, Net Neutrality, federalizing the police, and is in process with environmental regulations, and look how all of that worked out. Obama is going to have to sign the deal that would essentially give one of the most volatile regimes on the planet a nuclear weapon and he thinks hes going to be able to implement it by selling it after it is done when no one has read it to know what is in it? Theres a village missing an idiot. From the Washington Free Beacon: The presidents claims that a deal is the only way to prevent Iran from getting a bomb are plainly unserious. Any deal that leaves the Iranians with technology and materials in placethat could build a nuclear bomb, will almost certainly lead to an Iranian nuclear bomb. Thus, the only acceptable deal would beone that prevents the Iranians from retaining such a capacity. Every indication suggeststhat the Obama administration gave up on such a deal sometime ago. For the Iranians part, their Foreign Minister Javad Zarif seems to think that International Law whatever that is trumps U.S. Constitutional Law when it comes to treaty negotiations: In response, Zarif brushed the letter aside, saying it has no legal value and is mostly a propaganda ploy.. Zarif expressed astonishment that some members of Congress find it appropriate to write leaders of another country against their own president, a press release explained. It seems that the authors not only do not understand international law, but are not fully cognizant of the nuances of their own Constitution when it comes to presidential powers in the conduct of foreign policy. Actually, it is Zarif who does not understand American law, or that International Law whatever that is depends on where the superpowers point their guns. (We are a superpower. Iran is not.) As a Cradle Catholic where nuance is a way of life, I will attest there is none in the U.S. Constitution. None. Zip. Zero. Nada. So that argument does not hold any sort of water. Barack Obama has been regularly violating the separation of powers check on his authority without any regard for the law. Without an Attorney General willing to arrest him, and without more public outcry, the rest of the government is hogtied to do anything about it other than back lawsuits claiming damages. Zarif might think this is the normal state of affairs around here, but it is not. Neither is negotiating a nuclear deal with a country that sponsors terrorism. Reports today are that inside the Obama machine, the peeps are not happy that Congressmen are taking the initiative to go around them on foreign policy and engage leaders of Iran directly. Tough. There was no negotiation at all, just an attempt to clarify for a foreign government how American law works. Was it meddling? In a way, but that is why the checks and balances were put into the American Constitution to begin with. It is not Senator Cotton who is in the wrong. Its whoever told the Iranians that Obama can negotiate a treaty unilaterally that is delusional. He cant, and this Senate is not going to let him get away with giving it a shot, either. given that the Ayatollah has terminal cancer, and may very well be dead before Odumbo leaves office, any agreement which the current leadership in Tehran signs up to is just as likely to be thrown out either officially or otherwise before Khameinis body is even cold. of course, the Dumbocrats dont consider that theyre stupid enough to actually believe this agreement will do more than give Odumbo something to brag about Look whos talking! What he accused Republicans of doing, they had every right to do. Practically everything he has done he has had NO right to do. BY OUR CONSTITUTION ALL TREATIES HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE SENATE, PERIOD, THERE IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS, ALL THE DEMONCRAT LOONS THAT THINK THE CONSTITUTION CAN BE IGNORED ARE SETTING UP FOR TREASON TRIALS FOR THEM SELVES, HOW CAN 5 NATIONS THAT HAVE NO BORDERS NEAR iran MAKE A DEAL THAT CAN PUT THE NEIGHBORS OF iran IN DANGER AND NOT LET THEM BE PART OF THE PROCESS, DOES ANY ONE EVER READ HISTORY AND WHAT THE BRITISH AND FRENCH DID TO CZECHOSLOVAKIA PRIOR TO THE START OF WWII. nothing like an Iranian lecturing our Congress on the US constitution. Oh, I forgot, Valerie Jarrett is already guiding Obama in the subjugation of American law.
