[Daily Caller] President Obama is like a "battered woman" when it comes to negotiations with Iran, says Dr. Michael Ledeen, a freedom scholar at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.Dr. Michael Ledeen photo at right.
Obama keeps returning to Iran because he hopes Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will change. But, of course, he doesn't. Ledeen made this comparison several times while participating in a panel discussion on Iranian hegemony at FDD Friday.
Ledeen's comment was meant to suggest Obama continues to negotiate with the Iranians because he hopes for positive results yet winds up disappointed, according to the senior director of communications at FDD.
Dr. Ledeen's analogy may apply to more than simply Iran.
