Republican Jewish Coalition Executive Director Matt Brooks issued
the following statement today concerning Obama's most recent defense of his
proposed nuclear pact with Iran:
"It's a sad day when an
American President sees 'almost the whole world' standing in opposition
to the Jewish state and he sides against Israel. And his claim that
almost the whole world supports his Iran deal is not accurate, given the
serious concerns about the deal expressed by leaders of other Middle
Eastern countries.
"After his troubling, demonizing references to American Jews last
week, it's nice that President Obama now says he's willing to tolerate a
certain amount of criticism from our community. But the main thrust of
his speech today sent an overwhelmingly negative and divisive message.
His heavy-handed evocation of the Iraq war and his attribution of
narrow, partisan motives to Americans who reject his risky diplomatic
scheme are further evidence that he is unwilling or unable to endure the
vigorous, substantive debate on this important issue that he claimed to
welcome.
"At a historical moment that calls for a high caliber of
statesmanship to unify the nation, it's sad that this President resorts
to raw partisanship to divide us."
Indeed.
so the GOP issued a statement, big deal. They threw away the Senate's right to approve treaties. All the rest isn't commentary, it's just failure theater.
