Obama's Iran no deal nuke deal, the framework to a framework of a possible consensus towards a deal of sorts, maybe - it's something, that we can say for sure - although it's clear the Iranians think it's a very different something than we seem to think it is - but I guess like a cloud of smoke you can shape it however the hell you want to shape it just so long as in the end you don't start thinking it's anything other than a cloud of smoke - but that being said, what this mess makes clear is how dangerous a thing media bias is - Obama is now governing as if it simply doesn't matter how grotesquely estranged from truth and reality his words and actions are because he clearly believes the media will protect him - the Washington Post, as stalwart of an Obama apologist as there has been, has called the 'deal' an obvious capitulation - but it's too late, they and all the other biased 'news' sources out there helped make this monster and now belatedly stepping up and taking a stab at truth is not going to be enough to unmake him - unconstrained by the need to win another election Obama is clearly going to spend the next two years pushing the country as far left as he possibly can behind a phalanx of unmitigated lies - he doesn't care about the constitution, he doesn't care about congress, he doesn't care about public opinion or the will of the people - and that's because he believes and probably rightly so it seems that no matter what come the end of the day the media and the 47% who are ready and willing to believe whatever lie you wanna feed to them will be there to protect him and preserve the illusion of the progressive wonderland.
We're now into the 'break a few eggs to make an omelette' phase of uber liberal madness - doesn't matter how the country is pushed left - the lies and missteps and gross incompetence and corruption and if the left could get control of the military the sure as shit to follow gulags and firing squads, all that doesn't matter - just so long as the country is pushed left - because even if you don't get that omelette, absent an Orwell willing to break ranks and ask why not, you can always lie about it. And that is exactly how Obama is governing.
People like me have been saying for a couple of years that the Iran nonsense was going to play out exactly how it has played since Iran knew Obama needed a deal more than they needed a deal because he was not being sincere when he said force was an option - they knew that Obama's aversion to American power left him with little leverage if the sanctions were not enough to force concessions from Iran - but when Obama offered to ease sanctions long before there was any need to do that, Iran knew they had him - it was a clear admission that force was never an option, just like walking away from the table was never an option. This has been clear to anyone willing to look for a very long time - and the liberal media refused to look. That they're sort of doing so now is too late. All Obama wants now is a 'deal' that he can 'portray' as legitimate - it doesn't matter one little bit to him if it actually is since his policy objective all along as been the fantasy of containment and rapprochement with Iran and a foreign policy that was as far removed from Bush's as he could possibly get. Didn't matter if in objective terms it made sense or not - objectivity is for losers. Revolutionaries can't be wasting their time worrying about 'objective truths'. What kind of egg breakers would Stalin and Mao et al have been if they'd tolerated impertinent questions about truth and common sense. Jezz. Obama has broken one hell of a lot of eggs in search of his omelette - and he's perfectly happy lying about whether he's managed to make one or not. The best egg breakers are also always the best liars.
