Thomas Friedman: Obama Can See America From Iran's Perspective

[Clementine]

Of course, Obama looks at America from the view point of the radicals that seek to destroy us. Is anyone surprised? He acted as Iran's agent during the nuclear talks. He gave them what they want with no promises in return. Iran has already proudly announced that there will be no inspections of their military bases. Only someone who feels the same way they do toward Israel, America and our allies would be happy about this so-called deal.

Iran is the biggest sponsor of terrorism. And Obama trusts them. Did Obama secretly cheer on 9/11? No one on the left would admit it, but he refuses to condemn them, he approved of building a mosque near ground zero and he changed 9/11 to a happy day of community service. I think the radicals believe that the terrorists were just engaging in community service that day.

Shame that our own president doesn't have that kind of admiration for this country.


"Appearing on today's Morning Joe, Friedman apparently thought he was praising Obama, but Joe Scarborough wasn't so sure, asking "is it an admirable quality for us to have a president who can look at the world through the eyes of a regime that you and I both know has been the epicenter of terrorism since 1979?" "

Tom is right...but Tom doesn't appreciate how wrong that perspective is. But that is the approach of the community organizer...not the battle hardened leader.

Obama sees through the perspective of all terrorists (except Republicans), muslims, socialists and communists. that's obvious to all by now. He is a dangerous man being in the position of the POTUS.

Typical leftie that he is, Thomas thought he was praising Obama.

Good Grief!

Being able to see through the eyes of your adversary and to know your enemy is a valuable ability sadly lacking in nearly every conservative on the face of the earth.

That's what Jimmy Carter did, and started this whole mess when he threw the Shah under the bus in favor of Ruhollah Khomeini.

But when you see through their eyes and agree with the terrorists, we may have a problem...

We've always had an idea of what their goal was by watching their actions over decades. It's one thing to understand that your enemy sees things in an extreme way. Obama seems to understand them in a way only a fellow radical possibly can.

this thread points out rather well, WHY right wingers are both lousy and constant losers at chess and even simple debate....especially when their hatred of Obama gets the best of them.

Idiots.........

RIght. because clearly carter saying we don't support the Shah made the difference, not the 50 million Iranians who wanted that fuckhead gone.

That's the whole ******* problem with Obama, he sees America as the Great Satan

He sees America for what it is, warts and all, rather than ignoring or glossing over our serious problems the way conservatives always do if they do not like the political implications of dealing with them. It's a kind of courage conservatives cannot comprehend.

In 1953 we (the CIA) helped to overthrow the SECULAR, elected leader of Iran and installed the Shah (the Pahlavi regime) because we wanted to have cheap Iranian oil......If you're going too bash democrats, READ a bit of history first and don't rely on FOX to teach you everything you "need to know.".

They have good reason to distrust the US since we have never dealt fairly with them.

It's a different story when your side does it, it's justified, but let it happen like it did in Cuba and every democrat president becomes a commie...

When what you see is Christians being beheaded because they're Christians, you're supposed to DO something. Obabble does nothing.

Our most serious problem is Progressives and their fatally flawed Marxist ideas

Oh, what the heck....lets mix Iranians with all other Islamic radicals...rational thought was NEVER right wingers' forte, right?
