If you were part of the Obama Administration while it normalized Cuba and dropped off pallets of cash in Iran, maybe you should just sit out commenting on the meeting in Singapore between President Trump and Kim Jong-Un.
But that would require self-awareness and introspection, and we’ve already seen that the mouthiest of the “Obama Bros,” his most diehard defenders, have no sense of self-awareness. Or irony, for that matter.
Behold, the master of the Iran Deal echo chamber, Ben Rhodes.
Just trying to imagine what the media / political reaction would have been if Obama had lavishly embraced Kim Jong Un for those results…

Just sit back and enjoy the dragging that ensued.

Right? A mere 4 months ago, guys like Ben were drooling over Un’s sister “owning” Pence at the olympics.

I witnessed the media's FAWNING over Kim Jong Un's sister… The Minister of Propaganda, at the Winter Olympics… What's your fucking point?!

Oh yes, THAT.
*cough*

Tommy “Dude, that was like two years ago” Vietor is just plain bitter.

You worked for the most ineffective President in our history.

Former speechwriter Jon Favreau can’t let go of his Iran Deal bitterness.
Of course, the most difficult question for Trump to answer today would be “So why did you break the Iran Deal?”

Also, he seems to suffer from the same amnesia as Ben Rhodes.
Yes, two maniacs flattering each other in person is definitely better than two maniacs threatening each other with nuclear annihilation over Twitter. I think we’re all able to grasp that tricky concept.

I saw two maniacs in Cuba as well. Now what?

And more amnesia from Dan Pfeiffer.
By the standards applied to every politician not named Donald Trump, the President saying Kim Jung Un "loves his people" should be a multiple day scandal with voracious calls for an apology from pundits, editorial boards, and politicians of both parties.

Look, we all know that the Obama Bros haven’t yet recovered from Hillary’s defeat and the collapse of the pretty little bubble they’d made for themselves.
And while there is plenty to be concerned about with Kim Jong-Un and the agreement that was signed, the Obama flunkies who were more than happy to suck up to dictators just as awful as Kim – so long as it made their boss look good – are not the commentators to be casting stones at the Trump Administration from their glass house.
