Let’s demand that Zero and the RATs pay back the billions they gave to Iran that was stolen from the US taxpayers in the middle of the night. American patriots killed and permanently injured via Iranian terrorism should sue Obama and the RAT Party for their suffering. Zero and the RATs including the gutter slime, Kerry, enabled the terrorism that harmed our military.

Personally, I wish the United States had stayed in.

Obama is such a fraud.

Constantly touting signature pigments of his imagination...

The author seems internally confused and conflicted, but does manage to observe that deals made only with a President are only good while he’s in Office.

yep never understood that plane full of cash, actual currency of many nations being sent to Iran.

I always wonder, how much of that cash was skimmed off by dudes who drive trucks and forklifts at the airport, and how much of the cash actually ended up in the bank account of the Treasury of Iran.

The corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress let Obama get away with all kinds of unconstitutional mischief during his last term.
Obama open mic slip: 'After my election I have more flexibility'
Patriots not only need to reconsider the 17th and 22nd Amendments, but they need to make sure that Congress is willing to impeach and remove corrupt presidents.

Faced with a recalcitrant, obstructionist Republican Congress that he helped bring to power two years into his presidency, Obama increasingly gave up on getting congressional approval for anything: military actions, immigration policy, trade policy, net neutrality, environmental regulations.

The Constitution is there to make sure that whacky, harmful policies don't get deployed. If Obama had tried, in good faith, to negotiate a meaningful treaty, he might have been surprised at the Senate response. The trouble is that by the time the Iran deal was struck, Obama had spent any political capital he had and lost any remaining goodwill.

He would almost have certainly gotten nowhere with a Republican opposition whose "top priority" was, according to "Cocaine Mitch" McConnell, making Obama "a one-term president."

And there is the bias for all to see.

It’s fitting that a Fake President signed this Fake Deal. Rush revealed today that Obama signed the deal, but the Iranians didn’t! No doubt, Valerie Jarrett told him that’s an old Iranian custom.
