Sen. Chuck Schumer has finally make the decision to oppose President Obamas historic nuclear deal with Iran, a report said.
The top-ranking Democrat has been under pressure from opponents of the Iran nuclear accord including his own Jewish allies and will voice his opposition on Friday following fellow New York Democrat Kirstin Gillibrands announcement of her support, according to The Huffington Post.

It is sad but true that one man’s opinion holds the fate of the world.
But is Schumer sees how deadly this deal is, then I have to applaud.
The obozo wants to destroy Jews and was hoping that this “deal” would both put him in the history books as a worldwide diplomat AND the silent fulfillment of Hitler’s vision of sending the remaining Jews to the ovens.
I pray this is true and the Iran deal is over.
“Why do I suspect that he waited for permission from Obama? This is probably one of those cases where his opposition wont change the final outcome, but he gets to crow about opposing it.”
Bingo! Rush predicted this a few days ago. Don’t stop believing that Schumer is a slimeball - this is merely for show, after a safe vote total has been pre-determined.
NSA file on Schumer coming out in 3, 2, 1 though I think Obama’s file would be a lot more interesting. I wonder if an NSA patriot has such a file on him that is kept hidden as insurance.
These guys never retire....I think he wants the Minority Leader’s job.
He’s only voting no because he knows Obama doesn’t need his vote and the no vote protects him from the attack dogs in New York.
Norton II doesn’t need Schumer’s vote.
Shumer will give cover to other Dems who can now oppose.
Don’t turn your back on schumer, or drop soap around him for that matter.
I think this means the socialist whip count assures passage without his vote. So he bravely votes against it knowing it will pass. I’m cynical
Good for him.
How long will it take Obama and his goons to “Pay Schumer a visit” and make him change his mind..you know it’s coming
“Chuckles isnt a complete slimeball I guess.”
Sure he is. They’ve counted the votes and they don’t need Chuck’s so he can go home and beat his chest now for his constituents.
This is an old trick Republicans are using a lot lately. My own guy did it last month—voted one way, locals didn’t like it, so they juggled the votes and he voted the other way. I called him on it by e-mail and didn’t get a response.
Wow — Go Upchuck! Stopped clock, blind squirrel, etc.
Which can only mean there are enough votes to kill an override and his vote isn’t needed.
They have the votes to pass this garbage. It bought Scummer a no vote.
I didn’t think that Schumer would, especially since he grew up in a very pro Israel neighborhood in Brooklyn. I don’t expect Bernie to approve of it either.(same reason) Plus the Israel Lobby is much stronger than the Iranian one in DC. This great Obama/Kerry deal is another Munich agreement.
Praeger pretty much makes the case here.

He is a Democrat congressman from NY and the ranking minority member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Engel is being interviewed on the John Batchelor show now.
From a photo from a few days ago that probably was taken a short time back, I noticed Obama was wearing his wedding ring but it had slipped way down to his knuckle (he had his fingers relaxed and pointing down). I was thinking (1) he has lost weight and (2) he could lose his ring as it looked like it could slip right off.
Time will tall.
