Dick Morris predicts an
Obama-Iran 'October surprise'

Washington Times, by Dick Eldridge

Original Article

Posted By:earlybird, 10/20/2012 6:51:14 PM

Political guru Dick Morris predicted Saturday that the White House will announce an "October surprise" — a deal with Iran over nuclear inspections before the Nov. 6 election. Citing an Internet report on ***, a conservative website, Mr. Morris said a deal between the White House and the Iranian regime is in the works to ease sanctions on Iran in return for concessions on the Iranian nuclear program. Such an agreement, announced before the election, would represent a big foreign policy victory for the president, who has been under pressure from Israel to take a more robust stand

I don't think this would help. It certainly wouldn't mean anything in the long run.

The Iranians want Zero to stay in office, signing an agreement which they never intend to honor is not much of a sacrifice.

See post immediately below this one, from the New York Times, announcing just that. I wonder what Obama offered for them to agree to this. Probably as he said to the Russians, "After my election I'll have more flexibility."

Only a naive fool would cut a deal with Iran and expect them to live up to it. Several bunker busters up their wazoo would be more effective.

Big deal, with gas at almost four bucks a gallon and food prices rising daily voters could give a flip about Iran.

Exsqueeze me, a report on ***? A conservative web site? Is worth what?

[and just why is *** a "bad word" on ldot?]

Still, it does sound like something Dick Morris would say. It even sounds like something that Zero would do. But what would it be worth? Obvious answer: Zero. Would even come across as pandering, wag-the-dog stuff. Only the insane would credit it, and they're already solid Democrats.

From an article elsewhere:

A secretive former CIA expert who is known as Reza Kahili maintains that in return for an end to economic sanctions, the Tehran regime will, before the U.S. presidential election, publicly state that it will temporarily halt some aspects of uranium enrichment in return for a lifting of sanctions by the United States early in 2013.

This article, published 18 hours ago, includes information from the writer's interview with Frank Gaffney, the founder and president of the Center for Security Policy, and former Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy, the senior position in the Defense Department with responsibility for policies involving nuclear forces, who stressed that as of that time there'd been no confirmation of such an offer.

This would return relations to about the same point they were at 4 years ago in terms of hope for an agreement. All you have to do is have amnesia for the last 4 years and believe that, after 4 years of abject weakness, the Ayatollah will be scared of Obama this time. Right.

It would not represent a "big Obama foreign policy victory". Iran cannot be trusted. Much like the Russians who are famous for simply ignoring any treaty they sign. What it would represent is Obama being snuckered one more time. The guy is a total fool when it comes to dealing with the Middle East. And those countries are in chaos thanks to his rampant mismanagement.

The October surprise is going to be Gloria Allred's little circus. My prediction is that she's going to bring out a "client #1" who will say (through Allred) that Mitt Romney or one of his sons sexually assaulted or harassed her. Ultimately, she will not file charges.

If client #1 doesn't do the trick, there will be a client #2. It will happen so close to the election that the Romneys won't even have much of a chance to answer the accusations.

It's worked for them before, they'll try it again. Romney better have his lawyers on stand-by.


Reply 32 - Posted by: JHSMom02, 10/20/2012 8:12:10 PM     (No. 8948944)

#31, if that happens, then Romney should immediately issue a statement that he is personally filing suit for slander against the person making the claim. I wouldn't even wait an hour. And make it a huge amount...say 50 million plus.

If Iran wants an agreement with Obama, I'm sure he will give them anything to stay in power. All indictions point to a Romney sweep. Still, with Obama in control, I am holding my breath. Sure hope Romney performs like Reagan. It is terrible to have such a low, down low, opinion of Obama, but I just can't hide it. He's more deadly than the Spanish Flu.

These are trying times. Never in the history of this country have we been so weakened and polarized by what many view as deliberate government policy. Now anti-gunners in the U.S. Congress, the Obama administration, and legislatures across the country are seeking to exploit the Newtown tragedy to promote their “gun control” agenda that envisions federal, universal background checks on gun purchases, and that could lead to gun registration and confiscation. At the same time, the increasing militarization of law enforcement, most visibly demonstrated by the growing use of massive, SWAT-type raids on businesses and individuals, sometimes with federal

She thanked them for sitting in the third row for her husband´s funeral, for playing with her infant daughter in the third row of the team bus, for sharing her pain and embellishing her joy.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

SANFORD - Trayvon Martin´s parents have settled a wrongful death claim for an amount believed to be more than $1 million against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where their teenage son was killed. Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today. In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out. Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential. When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was
