47 Republican senators have signed an open letter to Iranian leaders. This is an act that is completely irresponsible, it undermines the president, and it undermines the office of the president.
And it is flat-out stupid. Do they think the Iranians are a bunch of raghead hicks with machine guns?
Do our illustrious Republican senators know that today’s Iranian cabinet has more members with Ph.D. degrees from U.S. universities than Barack Obama’s cabinet does? In fact, Iran has more holders of American Ph.D.s in its presidential cabinet than France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, or Spain—combined.
Do they really think that the American educated and trained political brain power of the Iranian leadership cannot see through this bluster?
I am embarrassed for our senate.
Agree wholeheartedly! I was embarrassed when Republican leader John Boehner invited Prime Minister Netanyahu to speak to congress. Have you been following the Emmanuel vs. Garcia for Chicago mayoral race? Emmanuel is nicknamed “Mr1%.” Garcia rose from nothing, just a hard working man who became involved in local politics and got noticed over the years for what he’s accomplished. I sat in on a phone call with Garcia tonight and he’s the real deal. Our country us managed by the1%. This is not what our forefathers intended. Our country should be managed by the average citizen.
This is what you get when the majority party in Congress is openly hostile to advanced education.
