Hummm, that is the Million dollar question. <br />America historically, for as long as I can remember does not to deal, negotiate, or compromise in any way with people who have expressed in any way their intentions to kill you, or your people. .By doing exactly this with Iran, the same Iran who’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei called for the death of all Jews and the destruction of Israel.

We have just recently learned that President Obama, our dear Leader, the same President Obama who had received 75 percent of the american Jews vote, has been secretly writing to the current Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in an effort to get his blessing for a deal.<br />Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, called America “THE GREAT SATAN” and expressed that it was his goal to kill all Jews and to completely destroy Israel This insane “goal” of his is being ignored by President Obama who should be troubled by such a fantasy. Unless of course he doesn’t fing that “goal” to be disturbing. <br />But the news is not all bad, the good news is that the political leaders of a soon to be Republican Congress will be taking power in January and they have made it clear that they will not permit Obama to sign off on a such a deal with Iran. <br />Unlike Ronald Reagan and even Clinton, Obama is in NO way a politician. He's a narcissistic Community Organizer that believes everyone else is the fool but him.

I don’t take too kindly to vermin. Nor do I approve with these stupid comments, or so called “jokes” about the people who happen to be in opposition to the president and his values. I have also taken a look at the blog written by the woman who several of you folks have mentioned in previous posts and comments and I I have to say about her is that I don't remember anyone denigrating our country and its people like this since Jane Fonda. And that Russia and China loves hearing that stuff. Our president has sunk to the point where he is absolute useless, he has become a joke to most of the world. . This is what happens when he spends most of his time on the Golf Course and take his Teleprompter away.
