Surprise! Surprise! I never saw that coming! /s
Can’t Obama sweeten the pot with a few of the nice people from Gitmo \
I’m in shock that we are demanding anything of Iran.
So Obama will just forge ahead with a joke of an agreement?
He’s got to secure his “legacy”.
Khameni has said from the beginning that they will not stopped from making nuclear weapons.
Shouldn’t be a problem... for 0.
Obama and Kerry are aggressively negotiating with regards to the color of the paper that the agreement will be printed on.
In spite of the strenuous objections of the Iranian Mullahs they are insisting on light beige. This is going to come down to the wire!
Iran: “NO!” Obama: “Oh, OK”.
Obama flies over to Tehran with a new set of knee-pads?
It makes you wonder who he's appealing to with that "legacy." Is it the American history writers? Of is it a narrow band of Muslim insiders? Or some Communist group? Or GLSEN? Or is he just pursuing wrecking the US as an art form, which is a reward in itself?
No worry, Emperor Obama will give in to whatever you want.
No problem Obama will cave.
