"I'm embarrassed for them," Obama told Vice. "For them to address a letter to the ayatollah -- the supreme leader of Iran, who they claim is our mortal enemy -- and their basic argument to them is: don't deal with our president, because you can't trust him to follow through on an agreement... That's close to unprecedented."
Yup. A letter that's contains nothing more than a civics lesson of the American governmental system basically boils down to a claim that one can't trust Obama. ....
That's either lying at a truly Clintonian level, or if that's really what his understanding of the what the letter said, then he's just cuckoo for cocoa puffs. I think he's lying about it because it's convenient, like a lot of the Left (those that have bothered to read the letter). Aimed, of course, at those too lazy to actually read it themselves or too ignorant to understand basic American civics.

Of course that wasn't even close to what the letter said. Obama's even a bit more paranoid than Nixon.

Considering the walk back and the "snowstorm" explanation from John McCain, I'd say the president hit this one right on the head.
I didn't say the letter wasn't a stupid stunt M, it was. That doesn't justify Obama's characterization of it.
Some old saying about two wrongs, one right, etc.
