In 4 minutes, Marco Rubio Gets Schooled On US Foreign Policy

"At the recent CPAC gathering, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a likely Republican presidential candidate, seemed to stumble on one of the basic facts of the Middle East. “The reason Obama hasn’t put in place a military strategy to defeat ISIS is because he doesn’t want to upset Iran,” the Florida Republican said.

The senator seemed confused. In reality, President Obama has put an anti-ISIS military strategy in place, and that’s fine with Iran, since Iran and ISIS are enemies."

Even if that was his way of disguising putting his hand to his forehead in exasperation, it's an exaggeration to say he kept doing it.

I'm glad I watched it though, b/c I got to see Kerry be calm & rational & informative, yet not back away from plain language, like saying something is 'flat wrong'.

where a moron like Rubio can waste the time of the SoS asking stupid questions without doing his homework.

It will, unfortunately, play well with his moronic supporters.

Every point of misinformation spewed by Rubio for consumption by Iowa primary voters was swatted down as not based in reality.....and to never be mentioned again by the traditional Press.

Watching him is alike watching a slow motion train wreck, very cringe worthy. . He is so full of himself and totally clueless to how others see him.
Much like watching The Office.

Petition - We the people.. - PASS THIS ON! - Over 224k signers in TWO DAYS!

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/file-charges-against-47-us-senators-violation-logan-act-attempting-undermine-nuclear-agreement/NKQnpJS9

we petition the obama administration to:
File charges against the 47 U.S. Senators in violation of The Logan Act in attempting to undermine a nuclear agreement.

On March 9th, 2015, forty-seven United States Senators committed a treasonous offense when they decided to violate the Logan Act, a 1799 law which forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.

At a time when the United States government is attempting to reach a potential nuclear agreement with the Iranian government, 47 Senators saw fit to instead issue a condescending letter to the Iranian government stating that any agreement brokered by our President would not be upheld once the president leaves office.

This is a clear violation of federal law. In attempting to undermine our own nation, these 47 senators have committed treason.
