RUSH: Over the weekend we heard news that Obama struck a deal with the Iranians and they were gonna shelve their nuclear pursuits in exchange for us ending the sanctions. That was supposed to, “Oh, right, oh-ho-ho, man, Obama, he\u2019s tough. He talked down the mullahs.” Well, it obviously wasn\u2019t true \u2019cause the regime then put out a story and said, “No, no, no, no, no, that hasn\u2019t happened,” which means somebody in the regime is still leaking sensitive national security information, because the New York Times was hell-bent on maintaining they had been told that by somebody at the regime, that we had struck a deal with the Iranians. <\/p>\n
“Vice Chairman of the Iranian Parliament\u00c2\u2019s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Hossein Ebrahimi told FNA that during the meeting, Agosti had told the Iranian officials that President Barack Obama recognizes Iran\u00c2\u2019s right of access and use of the nuclear technology.” Now, that\u2019s not something the regime wants out there. And if you\u2019ll notice, it\u2019s not being widely reported. But it is kind of important, isn\u2019t it, that Obama sent a message to the mullahs saying, (paraphrasing) “Look, we recognize your right to have nukes,” all the while publicly Obama is saying, “I\u2019m not gonna let them have a weapon.” <\/p>\n
But I\u2019m not surprised. During Obama\u2019s campaign of 2008, I recall we had various interviews Obama had given in years prior, Chicago radio stations and so forth. He was asked, for example, about American exceptionalism. He would say, (imitating Obama) “Well, uh, I imagine the Swiss think they\u2019re pretty exceptional, too.” Meaning we have no claim on it. What is this American exceptionalism business? We have no claim on that. And I happen to know, I can\u2019t quote you the specific interview, but I know that Obama has said, “Who are we to tell people they can\u2019t have something?” He might not have said it that exact way, but he said that we\u2019re not the only ones in the world entitled to stuff. Well, we know that Barack Obama does not hold this nation in high esteem in traditional ways, American exceptionalism, superpower status. <\/p>\n

Remember, Obama\u2019s a social justice guy, and the social justice people believe this country has benefited unfairly from an exercise and projection of power that has been mean and unfair to other smaller nations in the world. So, to me, it is entirely believable that Obama would believe in his heart that, “Hey, if the Iranians want nukes, it\u2019s none of our business to tell \u2019em they can\u2019t have any.” Now, publicly Obama made it sound like he doesn\u2019t want \u2019em to have nukes. He\u2019d never say this publicly, but he has. He\u2019s intimated it at least. That\u2019s how I know it. I also know it \u2019cause he\u2019s a liberal. I also know it \u2019cause he\u2019s actually a radical. Reverend Wright, that whole crowd, I\u2019m telling you, they all think alike, and they would all be offended at the notion that the United States somehow should have the right, authority, ability, to tell any nation they can or can\u2019t have anything, such as nukes. That would offend them. It does offend them. <\/p>\n
So this story on sanctions, when I first saw that, I said, “Well, it\u2019s good to know who the Iranians are endorsing.” Then the regime denies it, but the New York Times insists that a high government official told them. So we have a leak. It may well be that this is something Obama wanted to announce in the debate tonight, and somebody leaked it. It may well be something he wanted to use later, closer to the election. It may well be that it\u2019s something he doesn\u2019t want to come out because he thinks it might hurt him. Who knows. But this is why he\u2019s not telling us what a second-term agenda is gonna contain because it\u2019s gonna have stuff like this. <\/p>\n
A second-term agenda will have things in it such as (impression), “Well, uhhh, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s our purview, uhhh, to tell Iranians what they can and can\u2019t have. Uh, it\u2019s not right. How would we like it if the Iranians told us that we couldn\u2019t build any more jets?” That\u2019s how he thinks of it: How would we like it if Country A told us we can\u2019t do stuff? Don\u2019t doubt me on this. There\u2019s something else about a second-term agenda.<\/p>\n
