Has Obama Made Us Into a Banana Republic?

[JoeB131]

Yet you think someone whose job was being present in the Senate half the time of his less than one term and who got elected due to skin color as qualified. Like I said. Obama's just another unqualified n*gger in a government job in order to make some quilt ridden white people feel good about themselves.

Yup, racist to the core. Obama's accomplished more than you ever will.

He used that as an example then claimed them doing so was because they cheated employees. He despises anyone with more money than he thinks that person should have. He believes that if they are "rich" they got it through less than favorable means or someone else didn't get enough. Read his post.

Also, he's the one that said "the fact that you (meaning me) spend so much time hating on a guy who buys beer with a foodstamp . . . " He said that, too. Apparently someone as smart as he claims with as extensive of a resume as he claims doesn't know it.

That you support him shows you're on the same low level as he is. Why don't the two of you get together and go at it.

Well, you did spend a whole thread complaining about poor people buying beer, but you have no problem with rich people buying Dressage Horses with money they looted from pension funds.

Which your boy Romney totally did, BTW.

No, this is not Obama.

This is a culture war, a deep and real division that is growing by the day.

One guy can't do that.

But he can sure fan the flames - and HAS.

Obama as president in 2015 is as insane as if Tito were president of the USA in 1942.

Welcome to the Banana Republic

With a wave of his wand, Obama defies the law.

In case you were just enjoying the weekend with your family and not listening to the news, the world changed over the past 48 hours.

The United States has now officially become a Banana Republic.

In sweeping moves that gave the lie to repeated assertions by Secretary of State John Kerry that there would be no “comprehensive” deal with Iran, the United States on Saturday gave Iran a clean bill of nuclear health, lifted sanctions on more than 400 Iranian government entities and individuals, and swapped U.S. citizens held hostage by Iran for Iranian nationals convicted of violating U.S. export control laws.

There was so much news over the weekend that the media has had a hard time keeping up. But not your government, which has been beavering away so they could trade away our sovereignty, our legal system, and our national security interests at the stroke of a pen.

The Treasury Department has been working for months to draft a package of implementing regulations for Obama’s ill-conceived nuclear deal. The thicket of U.S. sanctions on Iran has become so dense over the years that Treasury had to post a separate web page with a guide to sanctions relief, which was split among eight separate statements.

My favorite was a list of 400 Iranian state entities now removed from U.S. sanctions. I had been tracking many of those companies for years.

With a stroke of the pen Iranian banks, including the Central Bank (which I would call the money-launderer-in-chief), have returned to the international financial system, and once again can do business with the United States or move dollars around the world. Already on Sunday, the Central Bank announced that it had reconnected to the international SWIFT wire transfer network, from which it had been banned under sanctions.

What this means is that Iran is now free to move the $100 billion or so released from blocking orders in Japan, South Korea, India, China, and Turkey, and move it anywhere it pleases, including to terrorist networks. It can also use the money to buy weapons, ballistic missile parts, or nuclear-related equipment, as long as they don’t originate in the United States.

That surely will be welcome news to the millions of Iranians who are unemployed, and to the thousands of political prisoners sitting in Iranian jails, who really, really want new toilets. And of course, all that money available for nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles will hearten Iran’s neighbors, Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Also freed from sanctions is the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL), put on the U.S. list of terrorist-supporting entities because it has repeatedly been caught moving weapons and explosives to terrorists. And, of course, Iran Air, which can now graduate from moving terrorists and intelligence operatives under cover of on board air marshals, to becoming the best friend of the European Airbus consortium as it seeks to purchase 114 Airbus jetliners.

Over at the Justice Department, U.S. government lawyers have been quietly negotiating with a variety of different district courts so they could spring four convicted criminals and three men awaiting trial on the magic day.

The national media is calling it a “prisoner exchange.” But the Iranian regime made clear it was not when they refused to release Iranian-American businessman Siamak Namazi as part of the deal. An English language dispatch from the government-run FarsNews website explained, “Namazi remains in jail for his charges are financial, and not political.”

In other words, the five Americans released on Saturday by Tehran were hostages, whereas the seven Iranians released in the United States were charged with violating the U.S. criminal code.

The crooks won.

...

Welcome to the Banana Republic

Iran 'fills Arak nuclear reactor core with concrete' - BBC News

You claim that we are 'giving away our sovereignty' and declaring us a banana republic (if this deal had anything to do with that term anyway) yet Obama's deal is WORKING to the intended goal - a non nuclear Iran. I am a huge critic of Obama but that is not the same thing as demanding anything that has been done under his watch. Doing so only marks one as a partisan without a real argument.


The reality here is that this deal is actually working as it stands now and Iran is complying with measures to stop it from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

OP- You don't appear to know what a banana republic is....It's a fascist oligarchy where the rich a-holes rule the abused nonrich. So I guess even Pub dupes know which party wants that...not.
