Former White House chief of staff John Sununu is not mincing words when it comes to expressing his utter dissatisfaction with the Obama administration when it comes to foreign policy.
During a recent segment on Fox News captured by The Blaze, Sununu blasted the “tone deaf” and “incompetent” Obama White House for sending Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to tout the nuclear weapons deal with Iran at a pro-Israel conference.
Lew, who spoke at the Jerusalem Post conference in New York over the weekend, was reportedly booed at the event even as he told the audience, “No administration has done more for Israel’s security than this one.”
According to Sununu, who worked in the White House during the administration of George H.W. Bush, the choice was yet another colossal foreign policy error by the Obama administration.
“It boggles the mind that the Obama administration thought it was smart to send Jack Lew to talk to this pro-Israel group about the Iran deal,” Sununu said. “I cannot imagine a White House that dumb and insensitive.”
“This administration is tone deaf,” he added. “The president has this singular vision of having this deal no matter what and he is creating a relationship with all our allies in that part of the world that is extremely difficult to deal with.”
Sununu, who also served as the 75th governor of New Hampshire, accused the White House of employing “sweet rhetoric” in an attempt to hide their “horrible actions or lack of actions.”
“They think words are more important than the things they do,” Sununu affirmed. “They have no idea how disappointing what they’ve been doing is to our allies and how dangerous it has been to the world.”
He labeled Obama’s foreign policy strategy “mind boggling,” adding, “This is the most incompetent, inexperienced and clumsy White House the country has had in at least two generations.”
