BO Sympathetic to Iran Due to Childhood Overseas -NY Times Columnist Makes Observation After Interview with Prez
Bob Unruh / WND
Barack Obama – who often has boasted of his world travels and life in Indonesia as a child – understands what America looks like from the outside, and that’s why he’s engaged in nuclear negotiations with Iran.
That’s according to Thomas L. Friedman, the internationally known author, reporter and columnist.
Freidman has won three Pulitzer Prizes and has written multiple bestselling books, including “The World is Flat.” He started with the New York Times in 1981 and the next year moved to Beirut then to Jerusalem in 1984, covering the Middle East.
Moving back to Washington in 1989, he covered Secretary of State James A. Baker III and later domestic policy, and eventually foreign affairs.
Friedman was being interviewed by former Florida Congressman Joe Scarborough on his MSNBC “Morning Show” on the topic of Obama and Iran.
“Obama’s someone who’s lived abroad maybe more than any president in a long time, and because of that he actually knows what American looks like from the outside in,” he told Scarborough.
“And he can actually see America even to some point from the Iranian perspective. It comes through when he says ‘let’s remember, we, the United States, back in the 1950s, we toppled Iran’s democratically elected government. There might be some reason that these people actually want to get a weapon that will deter that from happening again.’”
Scarborough had an immediate question.
“But Tom, is it possible, 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?”
Friedman responded: “It really depends on what you’re talking about Joe. You know, I think it really depends on what you think of this deal, because Iran is a very complex entity, and I think that’s something else that Obama believes that [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu doesn’t.”

“Barack Obama – who often has boasted of his world travels and life in Indonesia as a child – understands what America looks like from the outside, and that’s why he’s engaged in nuclear negotiations with Iran.”
Utter piffle, Obama is a sock puppet of his corporate sponsors. Iran is demanding that America disarms and destroys their entire nuclear arsenal before they will negotiate anything. Iran and the world does not need America. America has no right to be a global dictator and the rest of the world agrees. Even the UK is longer supporting Americas war mongering and have been left, leaving America with just France as an ally. France won’t put up with playing the submissive to Americas dominatrix mentality either, for long. America will be left friendless soon if it doesn’t learn some basic manners and statesmanship.
