Convicted Fraudster Helped Obama Sell Iran Deal
by Joel B. Pollak 12 Sep 2015
Convicted fraudster Robert
Creamer played a key role in selling the Iran deal to Democrats,
according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
Creamer, a political consultant who is intimately connected
with Obama’s inner political circle, pleaded guilty in 2005 to tax violations and bank fraud. He
served time in a federal prison and was under house arrest. After
finishing his sentence, Creamer worked for Obama’s presidential campaign,
training organizers.
As Breitbart News first exposed in 2009, Creamer used his prison time to work on
a political manual: Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How
Progressives Can Win. In it, he devised a strategy to guide a future
“progressive” president. His plan included implementing “universal health
care” as a first step to other radical reforms, including amnesty for
illegal aliens. Obama strategist David Axelrod called the book “a blueprint for
future victories.”
In the book, Creamer also warns against an effort by
“Neocons” to launch a military strike on Iran to prevent it from developing
nuclear weapons. Creamer also blames America for the rise of the
Iranian regime: “The United States helped set the stage for the
fundamentalist resurgence of Islam in Iran,” he argues, by overthrowing the
Iranian government in 1953 and backing the Shah. (These same views are widely
shared in the Obama administration.)
The Wall Street Journal reports that Creamer
advocated for the Iran deal with the help of the Ploughshares Fund, a pro-Iran organization.
According to a transcript of the [Ploughshares] call
reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, participants stressed that the Iran
agreement was the most important of the Obama administration’s second term, and
they needed to prepare for battle with Republicans.
“The other side will go crazy. We have to be really clear
that it’s a good deal,” said Robert Creamer of Americans United for Change, a
liberal action group. His wife is Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) 20% (D.,
Ill.), a close ally of the White House in selling the agreement.
Ploughshares officials defended the group as nonpartisan.
“Ploughshares Fund is proud of the work of our grantees and partners in support
of this historic nuclear agreement,” said Joe Cirincione, its president. “We
support this agreement, not any particular party or administration.”
Mr. Creamer, a longtime Democratic activist, said Friday he
supported the Iran deal because it was better than an any alternative, and it
ensured the U.S. wouldn’t get bogged down in another Middle East war, like in
Iraq.
The Journal does not report Creamer’s felony
convictions, nor his past work with the Obama campaign.
It does note, however: “[Creamer’s] wife is Rep. Jan Schakowsky
(D., Ill.), a close ally of the White House in selling the agreement.” (The
author of this article challenged Schakowsky for Congress in 2010.)
