After Iran Deal, Obama to Pivot to Climate Change (GOPe in Retreat)
Politico ^ | 9/11/15 | Michael Crowley

Buoyed by the success of his nuclear deal with Iran, President Barack Obama is preparing to move aggressively on other long-delayed priorities, including a major climate change summit this winter and his elusive quest to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.

The National Security Council’s directorate of strategic planning has been quietly building an agenda of action items for the closing year of Obama’s presidency, in a White House that sees its work as far from complete, administration officials say.

“We have no intention of resting on our laurels,” said one senior administration official. “We have an ambitious foreign policy agenda that we’ll continue to pursue aggressively throughout the remainder of [the] fourth quarter of the administration.”

Part of that agenda includes striking a calmer post-Iran deal relationship with Israel — including a November visit to the White House by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that officials announced on Friday.

Also high on the to-do list: completing a Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal to which Congress gave "fast-track" approval in June; bolstering counter-terrorism partnerships in Asia and Africa; and putting U.S.-China relations on a firmer footing, a project that will include a state visit to Washington by Chinese President Xi Jingping this month.

The Democrat Party is one BIG lie!

Black people are hooked on hand outs and live on the Democrat voter plantation.

Homohood is being used by the Government to destroy the worthiness of family values.

Feminism gives women the right to be a single parent and hooking them on welfare to take the place of the father.

Kill unwanted children in the womb (and now beyond and collect $$$ for their parts).

Republican party in retreat - hoping not to offend anyone but conservatives.

John Adams predicted what is happening today when he said the following

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net.

Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.

John Adams

But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

John Adams

In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.

John Adams
