Obama Vows to Block Congress' Iran Sanctions as Nuke Talks Continue

President Obama on Friday vowed to veto any bill Congress sends him that could tighten economic sanctions on Iran, saying it would undermine negotiations seeking to limit the country's ability to build a nuclear weapon.

"My main message to Congress at this point is, just hold your fire," Obama said in a joint White House news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron.

If the negotiations fail, Obama said, then he would be open to considering tougher measures, with military action being a final option. "The bottom line is this: We may not get there, but have a chance to resolve the nuclear issue peacefully," the president said.

Cameron, whose country is one of six world powers involved in the yearlong diplomatic efforts, acknowledged that he began calling U.S. senators Friday morning to make the same point—"not to tell Congress what it should do, but to make the point as a country that stands alongside America that it's the opinion of the United Kingdom that the further threat of sanctions won't actually help to bring the talks to a successful conclusion."

How did he get elected? So we would not have a rino in the white house. Anyone would’ve been better than this Muslim.

America could only be defeated from within and our enemies knew that quite well.

That's not what I am hearing. With a RINO, we would have had the same rule by fiat, the same racist DOJ, the same last of respect around the world, the same SCOTUS nominees, the same classless/racist first lady, the same bendover policy towards Muslims/Islam, ...

Actually, how he got elected is the average American doesn’t know, nor care about things like this. Sad but true.

to answer your question, we elected this man by having millions of voters (disappointed with Governor Romney) not voting.

B.S. Nero was elected twice because A) The Political Establishment has now created a Majority of Parasites who vote for free shit and B) The RINOs keep pushing thru hook and crook Democrat Lite Party Nominees that have nothing to offer the Producers other than we’ll drive the bus to hell a bit slower than them.

your points are also correct. and i won’t try to re=open the “should we vote for a RINO” debate here.
I was just trying to say that elections really do have consequenses, (alas, barf barf barf....)
even when (or especially when) we stay home for any reason whatsoever

good, bad, or indifferent
that’s all.
thanks

[How Did We Elect This Man?]

Simple.

Massive election fraud. During the primaries in 2008, and during the general elections in both 2008 and 2012.

Yes, a lot of otherwise-intelligent people stayed home during both elections (which means they didn't vote down-ticket, either - which is a separate problem), but the vote fraud would have overcome their votes, if they hadn't stayed home.

The Democrat-Machine fix was definitely in.

Simply by ignoring the Constitution.

I personally believe that Obama was elected through Massive voter fraud. But I almost never talk about it because people look at me as if I am a conspiracy nut when In talk about the places in chicargo and other swing states that had precincts reporting 100% or 99% voting for Obama.
