Rand Paul (R-Crazy Town) actually told Matt Lauer....with a straight face....that the letter sent was meant to STRENGTHEN Obama's hand in the negotiations. That it was supposed to be more of a "hey, you have some hardliners here that you need to agree to this".
Have I lost my mind? Why would you send a letter to IRAN, saying that "Hey, we might not keep this agreement once Obama is out of office", if you're trying to get them to agree to this negotiation? And if you're trying to "support" the President, why the hell wouldn't you send a letter TO OBAMA saying "Hey, we got your back"?
I swear he must be on something, because that's the lamest backpedal I have ever heard.....well, at least since the "I sign a lot of letters" line McCain gave us yesterday.
