A few years ago, Iran didn’t have the money to keep up its global jihad adventurism. But now the world’s leading state sponsor of terror has come roaring back, thanks to President Obama’s aid, arms and legitimacy. Iran, which has repeatedly vowed the total destruction of the Jewish state, is putting the $1.7 billion in jizya that Obama turned over to the mullahcracy to work, financing jihad terror groups.
This is more of the poison fruit of Obama’s legacy — the catastrophic nuclear deal with Iran.
“Obama-era cash traced to Iran-backed terrorists,” by Bill Gertz, Washington Times, February 7, 2018:

The U.S. government has traced some of the $1.7 billion released to Iran by the Obama administration to Iranian-backed terrorists in the two years since the cash was transferred.
According to knowledgeable sources, Iran has used the funds to pay its main proxy, the Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah, along with the Quds Force, Iran’s main foreign intelligence and covert action arm and element of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps….
“The enormous financial windfall the Iranian regime received because of the deal — access to more than $100 billion, including $1.8 billion in cash — has not been used to better the lives of the Iranian people,” Mr. Trump said Jan. 12. “Instead, it has served as a slush fund for weapons, terror, and oppression, and to further line the pockets of corrupt regime leaders.”
Mr. Trump said the United States is countering Iranian proxy wars in Yemen and Syria and cutting the regime’s money flows to terrorists.
“We have sanctioned nearly 100 individuals and entities involved with the Iranian regime’s ballistic missile program and its other illicit activities,” he said.
The American money sent by the Obama administration was first flown to Switzerland aboard an unmarked chartered aircraft, and then converted into euros, Swiss francs and other currencies. An Iranian transport aircraft flew the cash to Iran in January and February 2016 in three shipments. The first aircraft arrived in Tehran on Jan. 16, 2016, with $400 million piled on wooden pallets. Two other aircraft shipments of cash were sent on Jan. 22, 2016, and Feb. 5, 2016, totaling $1.3 billion.
In all, Iran received $1.7 billion in U.S. cash that has been used to fund its covert terrorist support operations.
The first $400 million coincided with the release of four Americans held hostage by Iran, a move by Iran to make the money appear as if the Obama administration had paid a ransom to Tehran for the release of the Americans.
The Obama administration sought to justify the cash transfers to the world’s leading state-sponsor of terrorism by claiming the U.S. government was set to lose a legal arbitration case over arms purchases from the United States made by the government of the Shah of Iran, the predecessor government to the Islamist regime that took power in 1979. However, the primary motivation was President Obama’s effort to woo the Iranian regime and seek to change its backing for terrorism in the Middle East….

Dems supported Iran nuke deal after getting paid by Iranian lobbyists https://tinyurl.com/mcake4d
Not one MSM covered it and nobody bats an eye . They sold out American/israeli interest for few 10,000’s dollars.

I think you mean “FORMER” Pres. Obama. Words are powerful, and we certainly do not want him back. What he left in his wake is destructive enough.

The Moslem Negro sodomite, aiding and abetting the enemy again as a usurper and, therefore, needs to be arrested and put on trial and HANGED by the neck until dead.
Then we need to go the 535 other LIARS that put the Negro in.

As if this were not predictable. Obhammud’s stock in trade was to coddle our enemies and stiff our allies. We once had a long time ally in Egypt with Mubarak until the Muslime Brotherhood came to temporary power. And Qadafi in Libya had given up his nuclear ambitions and was coming around until his ouster was engineered. Who is in power there now? Which way is the wind blowing?

One of the main purposes of his illegitimate presidency was destabilization of the Middle East.
But you won’t see that pointed out as one of his biggest achievements.

We had their money that we froze. We gave it back before the court ruled against us to foster some goodwill and hoped they would stick to a deal. They didn’t. In the end the money was theirs and unless we are a thieving nation it should have gone back.
