Congress will hold the first of several hearings on Obama’s Iran deal this Thursday, with some Democrats likely to join unified Republicans in opposing the disaster negotiated in Vienna. Getting the votes to send a disapproval to Obama’s desk should be doable. The two-thirds majority needed to override a certain Obama veto is harder to obtain, but not impossible.
GOP aspirants to the presidency have all expressed opposition to the deal. When he joined the race last Monday, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker promised to end the appeasement scheme with Tehran on “day one” of his administration if elected. (Full disclosure: I’ve endorsed Walker’s candidacy.) Other candidates have promised to kill the accommodation early in their tenure if elected, except for one: Jeb Bush.
Speaking on Friday in what was seen as a pointed jab at Walker specifically, Jeb vowed not to signal the end of a deal at the outset of his notional presidency. His excuse: the lack of a fully emplaced national-security team at that time, whose confirmation would take the better part of a year.
In remarks similar to his scolding of the party on amnesty and Common Core, Jeb told a Nevada audience: “If you’re running for president, I think it’s important to be mature and thoughtful about this.”

Bushes are rarely firm in their convictions about anything.
He’s now saying he’s going to “shake up” the D.C. culture. Yeah, right. He’s borrowing from Trump.
a Profile in Courage this guy is not.
I could even deal with him disagreeing with me on some issues if he had the b*lls to actually take a stand on anything.
Bush jabs at Walker for Walker’s statement oon Obama’s Iran policy.

Jeb’s Already Going Wobbly
Big Surprise! (Cue Gomer Pyle)
Name an issue where Jeb is not wobbly.
¡Yeb! was born wobbly.

It doesn’t take an arms negotiator to realize that if you vote yes for this bag of crap, and the Iranians attack us here in the US, or attacks one of our ships, or kills a US prisoner, they will lost their seats in Congress. You’ll survive an Obamacare vote easier than you’ll survive this.
The D’s already know Obola’s only out for himself. A veto override is doable. It’ll take coopted GOPE’s to bail him out of this one.
