Obama vs. Ayatollahs, who's truthier?

Post by DrDonkeyLove »

I don't know enough about the Iran enrichment deal to have a factually based opinion on it. But, the ayatollahs say the Obama is "misleading the public" about the deal.

The Iranian gov't as amongst the worst in the world, yet the Obama has been such a lying sack of shit that I actually have to take pause to consider if they're being more truthful than he is. It's a really a sad state of affairs when you assume your president is very likely lying whenever he opens his mouth.

Whoever is lying, probably both, it's a shitty way to begin an agreement where the ink is barely dry.
The White House released a multi-page fact sheet containing details of the draft agreement shortly after the deal was announced.

However, Iranian foreign ministry official on Tuesday rejected the White House’s version of the deal as “invalid” and accused Washington of releasing a factually inaccurate primer that misleads the American public.

“What has been released by the website of the White House as a fact sheet is a one-sided interpretation of the agreed text in Geneva and some of the explanations and words in the sheet contradict the text of the Joint Plan of Action, and this fact sheet has unfortunately been translated and released in the name of the Geneva agreement by certain media, which is not true,” Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham told the Iranian press on Tuesday.

Afkham and officials said that the White House has “modified” key details of the deal and released their own version of the agreement in the fact sheet.

Iran's sitting on another bomb as well:
Youth unemployment in Iran is more than double the national level and now reaching 'crisis point', the head of the regime's Statistics Centre has admitted.

The unemployment rate for those aged between 15 and 24 is now at almost 26 per cent, compared to 12.2 per cent across the whole population, Adel Azar said.

He confessed: "When the youth unemployment rate is twice the country’s total rate of unemployment, it means we have reached an unemployment crisis point.

"Based on reports, the highest rate of youth unemployment is 50 percent in the province of Lorestan."

I believe that just over half the population is under 35 as well.

The world started in the Middle East and for over 2000 years haven't been able to get their shit together.

I just ignore Obama now. I didn't vote for him. To me he's just an annoyance. You get what you vote for.

Sadly, I feel the same way...I would trust the government of Iran to be more truthful than the Obama administration.
