Of course they won’t stand in his way. They’ll make a few waves, then wave it on through...

Congress has 60 days to assess the accord and decide whether to pursue legislation imposing new sanctions on Iran or prevent Obama from suspending existing ones...

[BO] renewed his vow to veto any such legislation and urged lawmakers to consider the repercussions of their actions.

...the longtime foes to move in a “new direction”

Absolutely - and that direction is precisely this: a supine America will feel the imprint of an Iranian boot on its throat.

This “treaty” is nothing less than an unconditional surrender to a nuclear-armed Iran.

They can stop it. He can veto it...Then all he needs is 34 votes.....and the Dems will bow to that.

The Congress is not calling this a treaty...just an agreement.

The other countries are chomping at the bit for the financial gains of lifting the sanctions. It’s all about money!!

I’d like to see Israel with Netanyahu step in on behalf of the free world against Iran. Now that would really piss off the rich boy from Honolulu who loves to do things the Chicago way.

Oh they’ll do something all right. Extend their hand for their customary stuffed envelope from Soros, Inc. Soro’s job has been so easy; all politicians can be bought.

Would someone in our gutless Congress tell this tin-pot dictator that he can kiss their ass?

Obama’s arrogance is unbelievable. Come on Bibi. Make him regret the challenge he threw down.

Millions are going to die as a result of caving into Iran’s demands.

Obama’s place in history is secure, however it will not be for what he thinks.

"No deal means a greater chance of more war in the Middle East," Obama said in early morning remarks from the White House.

Now that is a sentence that can be taken two ways.
