#1 “There’s no confidence in the Obama administration doing the right thing with Iran,” he told me

With Iran, or with anything else for that matter.

#2 Obama is very good at bending over. Lots of pictures of him bowing ( deeply ). What a guy, he's almost ( dare I say it ) Messianic ?
Grovel and wag your tail if you agree.

#5 Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal offers up the view – “the view of an experienced negotiator from the Middle East -- that U.S. President Barack Obama is outmatched by the Islamic Republic of Iran…“There’s no confidence in the Obama administration doing the right thing with Iran”

I'd tend to agree with the Prince. But then again, Obama did say to Putin he would have more flexibility after the 2012 elections. Horse face Kerry is selling the deal to the U.S. on "Disgrace the Nation" now.

#7 Alwaleed suggested that it may ultimately be the Iranian leadership itself that saves the day, by rejecting a compromise offer it sees as unacceptably tough -- but one that Iran’s Israeli and Arab adversaries see as unacceptably accommodating.

Narcissism breeds predictability. In terms of negotiation, President Obama’s definition of success has always been and will always be 'everyone gets something but no one gets everything they want'. At first glance that may seem reasonable until one recognizes his true objective. And that is to appear to be doing something while avoiding any difficult decisions that could possibly damage him personally in the future. And everyone knows it.

#8 Someone (magician guy The Amazing Randi?) once said smart people were easier to fool since they think they can't be tricked. And of course, con men have long known that one ingredient for a successful con is a mark who wants to believe.
