Obama Reads Mean Tweets About Himself on Kimmel

'NO EXCUSE FOR CRIMINAL ACTS,' HE SAYS

(NEWSER) – President Obama—introduced as "the first Kenyan-born, Muslim socialist" president—appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, but it wasn't all joking around: He made his first public comments on this week's shooting of two police officers in Ferguson, reports the New York Times. "What had been happening in Ferguson was oppressive and objectionable and was worthy of protest," he said, "but there was no excuse for criminal acts." "Whoever fired those shots shouldn't detract from the issue," he added, calling for "like-minded, good-spirited people on both sides" to work together, Variety reports.

Obama also took part in Kimmel's "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets" segment, Mediaite reports. "Is there any way we could fly Obama to some golf course halfway around the world and just leave him there?" the president read aloud, responding, "I think that's a great idea." "Somebody send Obama some lifehacks on how to be a good president. Haha. Like, I bet that would help. LOL," read another. "The LOL is redundant when you had the haha," noted Obama, who also read tweets commenting on his jeans and rapidly graying hair but quipped that they were all tame compared to "what the Senate says about me," reports the New York Daily News.

BOLTON Calls Obama Iran Deal 'Unprecedented' surrender...
.........................................................................................

March 14, 2015, By Mark Hensch

Former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton said Saturday that President Obama is negotiating “an unprecedented act of surrender” with Iran in discussions over its nuclear weapons program.

“This deal is fundamentally flawed,” Bolton said at the South Carolina National Security Action Summit in West Columbia, S.C. “There really is no deal I’d trust Iran with. It is a regime determined to have nuclear weapons and this deal will give it to them.”

The Obama administration is hoping Iran will slow or stop its nuclear armaments research in exchange for removing economic sanctions. Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia are aiding U.S. efforts to bargain with Iran. The two sides will resume talks in Lausanne, Switzerland, next week.

Controversy erupted over an open letter Republicans sent Iran’s leadership Monday. It vowed Congress can void any deal it finds unsatisfying and was signed by 47 GOP senators.

President Obama said Friday he was “embarrassed” for the message’s signers. The move has drawn swift criticism from social media, with the hashtag #47Traitors a recurring trend online last week.

Bolton rebuked the president’s response as unjustified Saturday. He said the Senators were not traitors, but rather lawmakers who “stood up for the Constitution.”

“The president coddles the Iranian ayatollah and attacks his own countrymen and our closest allies over this deal,” Bolton said Saturday. “The danger we hope to avoid is now imminent. This is just one example of how the President doesn’t care about America’s national security.”

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, blasted the letter’s “backstabbing” on Thursday. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), the letter’s driving force, criticized the Ayatollah’s regime Tuesday.

“They’ve been killing Americans for 35 years, they’ve killed hundreds of troops in Iran, now they control five capitols in the Middle East,” Cotton said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “They are nothing but hard-liners in Iran, and if they do all of those things without a nuclear weapon, imagine what they would do with one.”

Bolton said Saturday that Obama’s eagerness for a deal would give Tehran a “free pass” for nuclear arms. He said American voters should thus make national security the central issue of 2016’s presidential elections.

“The gravest threat to our national security sits in the Oval Office,” Bolton said. “The next two years can’t pass swiftly enough. For God’s sake, let’s not make the same mistake in 2016.”
