President Barack Obama is doing everything in his power to bypass Congress and suspend most of the sanctions placed on Iran over its nuclear program, The New York Times reports.

The president’s efforts to undercut Congress in the negotiations have riled many members, including New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

“If a potential deal does not substantially and effectively dismantle Iran’s illicit nuclear weapons program, I expect Congress will respond,” said Menendez, who has sponsored legislation to “tighten” sanctions if no deal is struck by Nov. 24. “An agreement cannot allow Iran to be a threshold nuclear state.”

Republican Sen. Mark S. Kirk of Illinois, a vocal critic of the negotiations, said Congress could not allow the president to “unilaterally unravel Iran sanctions that passed the Senate in a 99 to 0 vote,” referring to the 2010 vote that imposed the stringent sanctions against Iran, according to The Times.

It will finally dawn on those Democratic senators that Obama really does not like Israel.

A Christian would. A Muslim, No. Just because you attend a church and say you’re a Christian to get elected doesn’t mean you’re a Christian. The man has continually practiced Taqiyya and lied to the American public since Day 1

What with this, and the Criminalien cards the regime is planning on issuing for 34 million crimigrants, shouldn't Congress just be disbanded? Why doesn't the regime, a regime than can deem congress in session or not, just deem it disbanded.

By deeming it disbanded, we could forego the damage, no need to go thru a Reichstag fire...

Bibi is wise not to trust Hussein Obama. Obama is no longer hiding whom he stands with.

Of course he is! He is an employee of Iran and his controller (Valarie Jarrett) demands it!

We are no longer a republic. We are a dictatorship.

Obama is the First Undocument Moslem to BOMB America
with EV-68, Ebola, and his own IS (whom he calls
ISIL because of his utter hate of Israel).
