President Obama triumphantly touted a framework agreement had been met last week with Iran over their nuclear weapons program. But President’s Obama’s talking points on the Iran nuclear deal should’ve sounded familiar to you, because it mirrored the argument made by President Bill Clinton after he came to a deal that was supposed to stop the North Korean regime from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Bill Clinton Selling North Korean Nuclear Deal
Before I take your questions, I’d like to say just a word about the framework with North Korea that Ambassador Gallucci signed this morning. This is a good deal for the United States,” Clinton said at the press conference.
North Korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program. South Korea and our other allies will be better protected. The entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons.
South Korea, with support from Japan and other nations, will bear most of the cost of providing North Korea with fuel to make up for the nuclear energy it is losing, and they will pay for an alternative power system for North Korea that will allow them to produce electricity while making it much harder for them to produce nuclear weapons.
The United States and international inspectors will carefully monitor North Korea to make sure it keeps its commitments. Only as it does so will North Korea fully join the community of nations.
Barack Obama Selling Iran Nuclear Deal
Today, the United States, together with our allies and partners, reached a historic understanding with Iran.
If fully implemented, this framework will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, making our nation, our allies, and our world safer.
In return for Iran’s actions, the international community has agreed to provide Iran with relief from certain sanctions — our own sanctions, and international sanctions imposed by the United Nations Security Council. This relief will be tied to the steps Iran takes to adhere to the deal. And if Iran violates the deal, sanctions can be snapped back into place.

Wow. Same garbage recycled; repackaged. Sounds kind of like Seinfeld’s regifter episode!
