President Barack Obama made remarks to the press in Panama during the Summit of the Americas at the ATLAPA Convention Center in Panama City, Panama. President Obama promised in aid to $70 Million to Jamaica to support American universities campuses' in Jamaica promoting visual artists, film makers, entrepreneurs and fashion designers featured during their fashion week. There is also a need to digitize birth records and property records in Jamaica.
President Barack Obama indicated the U.S. will give $100 million to the Central American country Panama, MLB New York Yankee Mariano Rivera's birth country. Panama exports anchovies needed for Paul Newman Dressing and is where the canal permits ships to save time arriving to and from Asia.
Thursday, March 13th, 2014, Senator Mark Kirk from Illinois' (R) website revealed that Secretary of State needs to review giving $100 million dollars given to Iran. Stephanie's Law Review suggest giving the money to U.S. universities to increase satellite campuses in Iran.
Apparently, Arizona Senator John McCain(R)doesn't trust State Secretary Kerry, according to the following statement President Obama made reporters in Panama.
"When I hear some, like Senator McCain recently, suggest that our Secretary of State, John Kerry, who served in the United States Senate, a Vietnam veteran, who’s provided exemplary service to this nation, is somehow less trustworthy in the interpretation of what’s in a political agreement than the Supreme Leader of Iran -- that’s an indication of the degree to which partisanship has crossed all boundaries. And we’re seeing this again and again. We saw it with the letter by the 47 senators who communicated directly to the Supreme Leader of Iran -- the person that they say can’t be trusted at all -- warning him not to trust the United States government.
We have Mitch McConnell trying to tell the world, oh, don’t have confidence in the U.S. government’s abilities to fulfill any climate change pledge that we might make. And now we have a senator suggesting that our Secretary of State is purposely misinterpreting the deal and giving the Supreme Leader of Iran the benefit of the doubt in the interpretations.
That’s not how we’re supposed to run foreign policy, regardless of who’s President or Secretary of State. We can have arguments, and there are legitimate arguments to be had. I understand why people might be mistrustful of Iran. I understand why people might oppose the deal -- although the reason is not because this is a bad deal per se, but they just don’t trust any deal with Iran, and may prefer to take a military approach to it."
Why would the Secretary of State give the Supreme Leader of Iran "the benefit of the doubt" in negotiations? Perhaps, Mr. Bob Schieffer will address this in today's Face the Nation
