WASHINGTON - The White House said on Monday Iran should be given more time to answer concerns about its nuclear program and that imposing fresh sanctions on the Iranians could be counterproductive.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest made the comments after Iran and six powers including the United States gave themselves seven more months to overcome a deadlock over the Iranian program.

They have already weakened the sanctions on Iran. What about returning to where they were? Rhetorical question.

You know what’s going to happen? A Repub will become POTUS and will be in office a few months in 2017. Iran will nuke Israel while the POTUS is reading a book to school kids and liberals will blame him. “How could he read to school kids! How dare he! It’s all his fault!”

Argh. Sanctions on Russia have been counter productive. Sanctions on Iran are urgently necessary.

Gee, I wonder if it’s just a coincidence that Obola’s close friend and advisor, Valerie Jarrett, was born in Iran.

Brave Sir Kerry ran away.
(”No! Define `ran’.”)

Bravely ran away away.
(”I didn’t! It’s seared in my memory!”)

When danger reared it’s ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
(”I had a `plinter in me `pinger.”)

Yes, brave Sir Kerry turned about
(”I didn’t! Genghis Khan did it!”)

And gallantly he chickened out.

They’re actually right. Sanctions never, ever work. They only punish innocent people and our economy.

But, they make us feel tough!
