For President Obama, whose popularity and second-term agenda have been ravaged by the chaotic rollout of the health care law, the preliminary nuclear deal reached with Iran on Sunday is more than a welcome change of subject.
It is also a seminal moment — one that thrusts foreign policy to the forefront in a White House preoccupied by domestic woes, and one that presents Mr. Obama with the chance to chart a new American course in the Middle East for the first time in more than three decades.
Much will depend, of course, on whether the United States and the other major powers ever reach a final agreement with Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions. Mr. Obama himself said Saturday night that it “won’t be easy, and huge challenges remain ahead.”
But the mere fact that after 34 years of estrangement, the United States and Iran have signed a diplomatic accord — even if it is a tactical, transitory one — opens the door to a range of geopolitical possibilities available to no American leader since Jimmy Carter.

Obama and Kerry have been played for fools. They will regret this farcical deal.
Revelation 4:1
After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”
Obama opens Mideast PANdora.
That's why the NYT is tickled pink.
“As Mr. Obama looks ahead, however, it is not the fine details but the big picture that is likely to dominate his attention.”
And we’ve just how well that approach has worked with most everything else this administration has done...
NYT eager to change the subject from Marxism to the “virtues” of Appeasement.
This deal sounds like the one the GOP usually makes with Obama. We’ll give you everything you want now and “agree” to “hold talks” later to possibly get what we want. Talks which of course never produce any results.
Kerry maybe will regret the move because he is a usefull idiot. Depends on if he ever figures it out.
With Obama, this is intentional. His loyalties are with islam, not us our this country.
This is Obama’s flexibility coming home to roost.
His first and middle names are Islamic.
Why is anyone surprised ?

To the libs, it’s a success if we’re just “talking” to the enemy. The old “peace and love” will solve all the world’s problems. Except for the Jewish Dems. They seem to be speaking out against the deal. The instinct for self-preservation does much to clear the mind.
“But the mere fact that after 34 years of estrangement, the United States and Iran have signed a diplomatic accord — even if it is a tactical, transitory one — opens the door to a range of geopolitical possibilities available to no American leader since Jimmy Carter.”
Jimmy Carter eh? We all know how that turned out don’t we.

People buy that rag and buy that line? You can almost draw a line between the sane and insane depending on whether you believe this garbage.
I don't know an American leader named Jimmy Carter. All I remember was some idiot by that name who thought he was President.
Which de-stabilized the entire Middle East and caused energy prices to soar.
Much like Zippy has accomplished before this latest stupidity
And Jimmeh created exactly what from these "possibilities"?
A steaming pile, you say?
