President Obama fledgling deal with Iran over their nuclear program has come under fire
by many one of them is Wisconsin governor Scott Walker who says that even if we were
to become president he would do whatever takes to nullify that deal to destroy it on day
one if possible here's is President Barack Obama response keep in mind Steve that there
is a long precedent for a whole host of international agreements in which there's not a formal treaty
ratified by congress by the Senate in fact the majority of agreements that we enter into
a around the world sure are of that nature you know I am confident that any president
who gets elected will be knowledgeable enough about foreign policy and knowledgeable about
the traditions and precedents of presidential power that they won't start calling into question
the capacity of the executive branch of the United States to enter into agreements with
other countries if that starts being questioned that's going to be a problem for our friends
and that's going to embolden our enemies and it would be a foolish approach to take and
you know perhaps Mr. Walker after he's taken some time to bone up on foreign policy will
feel the same way oooo zinger OK so be better walk that off Scott Walker has some recent
foreign policy mistakes where he clearly didn't know what he was talking about including saying
Reagan's destruction of the air traffic controllers union was the most significant foreign policy
of his lifetime not really a foreign policy decision nor if it were nor it wouldn't be
the most important no like you know what was really important was when he traded arms for
hostages and he negotiated with terrorists that was pretty significant maybe he just
doesn't know what the word foreign means so Obama though even when he's delivering zingers
can really bore you to death god that was a long long way of getting to call Walker
foolish and saying hey you might want to learn a thing or two about our foreign policy it
was presidential though like he comes off as an intelligent man a thoughtful man and
especially on this issue where I'm still surprised at the terms of the frame than I would have
expected that many actual experts expected and Obama got you know the Nobel Peace Prize
right off the bat without ever having to do anything to earn it this is one small thing
that if he were to actually get this deal that would 1% of the way earn him after the
fact that Nobel Peace Prize I actually think it's larger than one percent I really think
if he OK 10% if he really gets Iran to basically stop their nuclear program even if it's not
a weapons program and you know and severely limits in the way that this deal explains
and then we don't have war with Iran I think that's a major major accomplishment and one
he should have been considered for for the Nobel Peace Prize and he already got it when
he shouldn't have OK this would be great yeah this would be great yeah now Scott Walker
of course responds to this since he was burned publically he tweeted cause that's what presidential
candidates do now they tweet Americans would be better served by a President who spent
more time working with governors and congress rather than attacking them dash SKW did it's
your persona Twitter account we know it's you OK Ok you don't have to sign it yeah that
is such a weaksauce answer it's such a clich�d typical answer too right regardless of what
the attack is you should be spending your time in a better way OK then dude you're the
governor of state you should be spending your time in a better way than tweeting about burns
yeah so you all attacked him viciously day in day out constantly and then now you're
counter him just tweaking you back is what you doing your time attack me but you spend
all your time attacking him and you're the governor of Wisconsin that has almost nothing
to do with the president oh right you love to hit him but if he hits back you also go
don't hit me don't hit me Cenk Uygur I think the audience of the Young Turks would be better
served by a host who spends less time attacking Scott Walker and more time blah blah blah
yeah and but then finally the irony of all this though is that it helps Scott Walker
cause anytime you have a Scott Walker vs Barack Obama theme Scott Walker's very happy about
that he gets to turn his Republican primary voters and go see Obama hates me you despise
Obama that too you despise Obama with a burning passion and it turns out like me he's attacking
me I'm the main guy right that's why he's attacking me and I'm the guy who's opposed
to him the most obviously cause look at what he's done the content of it that Scott Walker
actually knows nothing about foreign policy the Republican primary voters don't care about
that at all cause they don't know anything about foreign policy they don't know anything
about foreign policy they know are you going to nuke or are you don't going to nuke them
are you going to war or not going to war yeah and you better know to nuke them and go to
war right so if you are so this is a win for Scott Walker yeah yeah I mean if definetly
sort of cements him as the front runner the fact that he's on the other side of an issue
as Obama but also just Obama's apparently paying attention to what he says it makes
him seem more presidential I mean look at that cat that is a presidential looking cat
right there there's something special about him today yeah and look he wants to be in
the graphic he does every Republican wants to be in that graphic right up next to Obama
right that's true so in a sense by being such a moron about foreign policy yeah he has accomplished
his goal of seeming presidential to other Republicans and by the way he does say now
that he's boning up on foreign policy shouldn't you have done that before you decided you
were going to run for president of the United States of America it is amazing to me that
people decided in their enormous vanity that they don't need to know they going to run
for president try to be the commander and chief some people grandiosely say the leader
of free world and they don't know a god damn thing about that world and not too interested
and they're like oh yeah I'm going to run I guess I got to do my homework OK this capitol
goes with that country so many wow man so stupid that this is how we get our politians
this and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars
