....but how they are accepted with a shrug by the Obama supporters.
That is what is astounding.
1. Not much different from the revelations by Gruber, architect of ObamaCare, that it was passed based on lies and the stupidity (his word, I believe) of the Obama voters, we find the same pattern in the Iran Nuclear Deal....
2. "That the Obama administration's Iran deal is a work of fiction has been known all along, but now Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications, is taking credit as its author.
In a long interview with New York Times reporter David Samuels on Sunday, the world learned that Rhodes is "the master shaper and retailer of Obama's foreign policy narratives" who "strategized and ran the successful Iran-deal messaging campaign." Samuels lauds Rhodes as "a storyteller who uses a writer's tools to advance an agenda packaged as politics."

3. "The way in which most Americans have heard the story of the Iran deal presented — that the Obama administration began seriously engaging with Iranian officials in 2013 in order to take advantage of a new political reality in Iran, which came about because of elections that brought moderates to power in that country — was largely manufactured for the purpose for selling the deal. Even where the particulars of that story are true, the implications that readers and viewers are encouraged to take away from those particulars are often misleading or false.
While the president’s statement was technically accurate — there had in fact been two years of formal negotiations leading up to the signing of the J.C.P.O.A. — it was also actively misleading, because the most meaningful part of the negotiations with Iran had begun in mid-2012, many months before Rouhani and the “moderate” camp were chosen in an election among candidates handpicked by Iran’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The idea that there was a new reality in Iran was politically useful to the Obama administration.
....Rhodes’s war room did its work on Capitol Hill and with reporters. In the spring of last year, legions of arms-control experts began popping up at think tanks and on social media, and then became key sources for hundreds of often-clueless reporters. “We created an echo chamber,” he admitted, when I asked him to explain the onslaught of freshly minted experts cheerleading for the deal. “They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.”

a. His [Rhodes] lack of conventional real-world experience of the kind that normally precedes responsibility for the fate of nations — like military or diplomatic service, or even a master’s degree in international relations, rather than creative writing — is still startling. Ibid.
4. Of course, the NYTimes description of Rhodes....a novelist....as "lack of conventional real-world experience of the kind that normally precedes responsibility for the fate of nations," applies equally to his President.
5. One should question why the Liberal house organ, the NYTimes, would reveal the above
The only possible answer is that they are laughing at Obama supporters who fell for it again.
If any require clues as to the end of a once great civilization....the above must be same.
The acceptance by the electorate of lies....time and again.....and the result is simply a shrug.
We are gazing into the abyss.
