New York Times Catches It

++Yesterday ended with a barrage of attacks on President Obama--for--well--bring President. 

++Marco Rubio said the Iran deal has to be a Senate Treaty, which went against President Obama's assertion that the Senate has some but not alot of input into the agreement.

++John Kerry was on the Sunday talk shows to push back against John McCain who sides with the Ayatollah Khomeini on the interpretation of the Iran deal. Kerry said that ,of all people, the Russian government released a statement that said what Kerry has been saying is the correct interpretation of the Iran deal.

++Kerry pushed back against the attacks on Secretary of State Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State. He pointed out that she had to spend the first period of her time repairing alliances that W had shredded.

++But the New York Times caught the strange attacks on President Obama as "the rage of the Republican establishment toward him is growing, angrier and more destructive." 

++The Times reviewed the long litany of complaints and charges against President Obama and its racist undertone. 

++The Times said the "most outrageous example of an attack on the president's legitimacy" was Tehran Tom's letter to the leadership of Iran. They likened this to if Democratic Senators had written to Mikhail Gorbachev saying the President Reagan did not have the authority to negotiate a nuclear arms deal at the Reykjavik summit.

++The Times noted Arizona is back at it trying to pass laws that prohibit any enforcement of an executive order by the President. 

++The Times notes that the Republicans did not object to George W. Bush issuing executive orders to authorize torture and tapping the phones of American citizens.

++The Times also points to Mitch McConnell urging foreign governments to ignore any measures by President Obama on climate change.

++"If this insurrection is driven by something other than a blend of ideological extremism and personal animosity,it is not clear what that might be. But iy is ugly,it deepens mistrust of government and it harms the office of the president, not just Mr. Obama."

++Amen.

++Stephen Kinzer wrote yesterday a column for the Boston Globe that said all those threats everyone are talking about,they are not real. The United States faces less threats today than any other superpower in history.
