"Terrible Conclusion" Quote of the Day

"That letter to Iranian leaders from 47 Republican senators could well destroy critical bipartisanship in U.S. foreign policy for years to come and treacherously undermine the bargaining power of the person constitutionally authorized to conduct American affairs abroad—the President of the United States. On top of what House Speaker John Boehner did by unilaterally inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress, this letter seriously points to one terrible conclusion: a formidable number of Congressional Republicans hate President Obama more than they love America." -- (emphasis added) Leslie Gelb, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, writing about the treachery of the 47 Senate Rethuglicans who are, among other things, signaling our adversaries that President Obama doesn't represent the U.S. in foreign relations.  Worth a read.
