History Repeats as a "Feckless" Obama Appeases A Genocide-Minded "Fuhrer" in Iran

Barack Obama, a "peace in our time" kind of guy, couldn't even rouse himself from his torpor and criticize Iran's missile-with-a-message:
The harshest criticism Obama could muster against the test was that such provocations would be bad for international trade as they would make countries “nervous” to do business with Iran. 
Similarly, Congress was told the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) would be conducting inspections of all Iranian nuclear facilities and would have full, independent access. We then heard that two key passages of the Iran deal were kept secret – not only from Congress, but from the president himself. 
The secret deal involved the Parchin military installation, which was under suspicion for years for conducting research on nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles. The second centered on negotiations between the IAEA and Iran to resolve the issue of possible military dimensions (PMD) of Iran’s nuclear program. 
After allowing Iran to take its own samples from Parchin, the IAEA declared the issue of possible military dimensions of the Iranian nuclear program was now over, freeing billions of dollars in sanctions relief for the Islamists. 
Again, there was no reaction from the U.S. administration. Now, that inaction is (finally) prompting outrage in Congress. As Jennifer Rubin writes in the The Washington Post, “Congressional leaders from both parties are firing back over what they see is evidence that Congress was blatantly misled about the terms of the deal and the administration’s willingness to confront Iran’s non-nuclear behavior.”...
I would say Obama was snookered by cunning twelvers, but the truth is that he walked into this one purposefully, with both eyes wide open.

So when Trump says this POTUS "may be the worst thing to ever happen to Israel," he rather has a point.
