How Obama views Iran — 18 Comments

  1. Sounds like liberal views of all our enemies. Just like the old attitudes toward the USSR — it’s all our fault.

    Foolish, arrogant and ignorant is no way to go through life.

  2. and:
    Touting an approach she calls “smart power,” Clinton urged America to use “every possible tool and partner” to advance peace.This, she said, includes “leaving no one on the sidelines, showing respect even for one’s enemies, trying to understand and insofar as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view.”

  3. Yesterday, the state department was put in the position to admit that they LIED, er, “misrepresented” to journalists a white house meeting last week with the Muslim Brotherhood.
    More of the same—-lack of transparency, and, meeting with terrorist-linked states and organizations with “no pre-conceived conditions” (Obama’s words of intention in 2008)

    Oh wait, it was only reported by FoxNews so it must be false…

  4. Back in 2008, when I learned the personality and history profile of Valerie Jarrett, I was prepared for just about anything.
    Having lived in Iran, she is a big influence on Obama in his perspective of that (state-sponsored terrorism) regime.
    She pulls a lot of strings in that area.
    Then when one considers all of the suspect muslims in U.S. government positions, the plot thickens.
    Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner’s wife, was like the “Walmart greeter” for incoming muslims:

  5. I still question rather Obama actually has ever had any grand schemes, or whether he’s basically just a small-time guy who got lucky. If it’s the latter, he may be doing what he’s been doing with Iran because he’s not that deep a thinker and/or he wants to delay the crunch-time with regard to Iran and a bomb until it’s time for the next U.S. president to take over.

  6. I do not see bho as a bumbling fool. He is on a mission to diminish America’s influence in geopolitical terms and enable others, typically, those who are anti – Western nations and regions. He’s following the dreams of his father.

  7. JORDANIAN PILOT BURNED ALIVE WHILE CAGED

    “This event emphasizes just how important it is that we sit down and talk with ISIS. Finding out what it is we can do to appease them. How we can get past all of this unnecessary violence and killing while hijacking a peaceful and beautiful Islam religion.”
    Barack Obama

  8. An outstanding article that fails in one notable area; Obama’s inner motivation in ignoring the abundantly clear bankruptcy of his foreign policy. What could explain such willful blindness? The moral cowardice of an appeaser? The problem with assuming Obama to simply be another Chamberlain is that it ignores the formative, major influences in Barack Obama’s life.

    Specifically, his early Muslim childhood in Indonesia, which he remembers with great fondness. His communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis’s influence in his teen years, a mentorship supported by his communist sympathizing grandparents. His 25 year attendance and ‘spiritual’ mentorship by the hate filled, black liberation theologian ‘Reverend’ Wright. And not to be underestimated, the political advisement of domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.

    Barack Obama is willfully blind to the results of his foreign policy because he is a racist Marxist with strong Muslim sympathies. If he can’t “fundamentally transform” America, he’ll settle for mortally wounding it.

  9. neo writes, “Obama is the one who can do it, because he’s smarter, more reasonable, craftier, more perceptive, more persuasive, more whatever-is-needed than all his predecessors. This is something he truly believes.”

    At this point, I wonder whether he still believes that, or if he’s play-acting it out now. I see two mutually exclusive and exhaustive cases (someone help me with my logic here if they are not mutually exclusive and exhaustive).

    Case 1 — Every instance of events not working out in an optimal fashion is the inevitable result of people simply failing to appreciate his superior vision and intelligence.

    Case 2 — There are instances, however isolated, in which he brings himself to accept that there are areas of expertise in which there is still something for him to learn, still room for him to grow. But he continues to act as if there are none.

    I’m wondering, not asserting. I know he’s awfully far gone as to his being convinced that he is “smarter, more reasonable, craftier, more perceptive, more persuasive, more whatever-is-needed” than anyone anywhere.

    What I’m wondering of it’s an absolute, metaphysical axiom for him, or whether there is any room for him to secretly concede there’s room for growth (it has to be secret, because he’s got to maintain that self-image).

  10. Ann:

    I think it’s a huge mistake to consider Obama “just a small-time guy who got lucky.”

    He is either, as Geoffrey Britain writes above, “a racist Marxist with strong Muslim sympathies” who would like to wound America and/or transform it to his liking, or he’s as author Rodan describes, misguided and narcissistic but with a very clear plan that he’s following. In either case, his election was not “lucky,” it was the product of decades of planning and cunning, not merely by Obama but by other leftists who recognized his value and helped him along the way.

  11. M J R:

    That’s an interesting question. I can only guess at the answer.

    Obama is a narcissist of large magnitude. As such he really does believe he is the best, the most wonderful, the smartest, etc. But even if he is always the smartest person in the room not everything can always go perfectly. I would imagine he thinks it’s a mark of his superiority that, even though he’s superior to everyone else, he still believes he can learn from his (very rare) mistakes and widen the gap between him and the rest of the world.

  12. Geoffrey,
    It’s an amalgam, a compilation of everything he’s already said.
    It’s an effort to help him change up the verbiage.
    Restate it. Without compromising his ideology, and without all of the “ums” and “ohs” and “uhs”…

  14. “or he’s as author Rodan describes, misguided and narcissistic but with a very clear plan that he’s following.”

    Obama is certainly misguided and narcissistic and he does indeed have a very clear plan, which in no way obviates a deeply held, malicious motivation. It’s not one or the other but both. His narcissism is psychological compensation for a deep insecurity. His ‘misguided’ ideology the intellectual rationalization used to justify in his own mind, his racism and Marxism.

    Everything Obama has embraced in his life is rationalization to justify his narcissistic defense of his deeply held inferiority complex.

  15. He’s ALSO acting out against his grandmother’s activist-interventionist advocacies.

    He’s STILL fighting against his grandmother — from the position of a Gonnabee.

  16. I still question rather Obama actually has ever had any grand schemes, or whether he’s basically just a small-time guy who got lucky. If it’s the latter, he may be doing what he’s been doing with Iran because he’s not that deep a thinker and/or he wants to delay the crunch-time with regard to Iran and a bomb until it’s time for the next U.S. president to take over.

    I seriously doubt you would harbor similar opinions concerning Marine’s Front party or PEGIDA if they were to gain majority rule in their respective regions and countries.
