Obama Gives New Iranian President A 1 Million Dollar Gift. Gave Queen Elizabeth Ipod

[Steve_McGarrett]

That's right. In 2009 when Obama first met the Queen in Buckingham Palace when he became president, he gave her a Ipod as a good gesture. How insulting. Now enter the new Iranian president. It has been reported that he was given a rare 2, 700 year old Persian artifact called a 'Silver Griffin' and it's worth a million dollars. It seems Obama puts more value on his Muslim counterparts rather than our number one ally.

here is why:

After being looted from a cave in Iran, the cup was seized by US custom officials in 2003 when an arts dealer attempted to smuggle it into the country, according to a State Department tweet.

if it wasn't looted and seized this would be a big deal....since it was, this is a non issue

Oh boy, here comes another kneejerk conservative fit.

It wasn't a gift. It was returned.

“They gave it back as a special gift to the Iranian nation.”

Rouhani was speaking of a 7th century BC silver Persian drinking cup in the shape of a winged Griffin, a legendary creature with the head of an eagle and body of a lion.

After being looted from a cave in Iran, the cup was seized by US custom officials in 2003 when an arts dealer attempted to smuggle it into the country, according to a State Department tweet.

Mohammad Ali Najafi, head of Iran's heritage organisation who accompanied Rouhani to New York, welcomed the news.

"We hope this will mark the beginning of the return of other artifacts," he was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.

Rouhani made history on Friday by speaking on the phone to US President Barack Obama in the first contact between Iranian and American leaders since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

It seems that Obama is trying to focus on relations with Iran. Too bad you're not focused on that instead of partisan hackery.

It wasn't a gift, it was a confiscated stolen artifact.

Putin deserves it rather than that cotton pickin boy in the White House. Putin showed courage and tough diplomatic persuasive skills that brought the Syrian president to reality.

By what right does Obama give something like that to someone? Where did he get that? Can he just plunder museums at his leisure?

So, you're stupid, a racist AND a Putin lover. That's a winning combo

I wouldn't call it obsession, but to answer your question:

Putin deserves it rather than that cotton pickin boy in the White House.

 

[Freewill]

So Obama just happened to decided to give it back at this time, right.

So Obama did give the Queen an Ipod which I am told doesn't even work in England.

Obama got a gift of pencils made from a slave ship, something someone actually thought about.

Not stupid at all and I never said I was a Putin lover or supporter. Just that he earned praise for is diplomatic skills. Something Obama failed at on the world stage.

Never mind, I read further.

So Obama gave the Iranians some rare Persian sculpture (something that looks like it would be an awesome bong by the way) that was stolen. Cool.

Did Iran return anything that was stolen from the Us, like say the US Embassy in Tehran?

Or the batwing stealth drone they hacked into and stole.
