Great job Mr. Obama
 
Obama now has 34 senators lined up to in support of the nuclear deal with Iran. This will be a major foreign policy victory for Obama and I believe the only way to deal with Iran. Sustaining economic sanctions will further isolate Iran which will only encourage them to develop a nuclear weapon sooner than later.

And shame on you Schumer!
Do you love America? :mad:

Schumer works for the Israeli government.

And yes, excellent work, Mr President and, I suspect, Mr Vice President!

We have way too many Jews in this country whose loyalties lie with Israel rather than the U.S. I for one am sick and tired of these Jewish warmongers dictating our foreign policy. Fuck every one of them.

And no, they are not all like that.

Al Franken endorsed the Iran nuclear deal, becoming the fifth of nine Jewish senators to back the agreement.

“Many have expressed reservations about the deal, and I share some of those reservations,” Franken, D-Minn., wrote in an Op-Ed on CNN’s website.

“It isn’t a perfect agreement,” he said. “But it is a strong one. This agreement is, in my opinion, the most effective, realistic way to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon anytime in the next 15 years.”

Among Jewish Democratic senators, or those who caucus with Democrats, Franken joins Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer of California, Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent, and Brian Schatz of Hawaii in supporting the deal. Among the four other Jewish senators, only Charles Schumer of New York has come out in opposition. The others, all Democrats — Ron Wyden of Wyoming; Ben Cardin of Maryland; and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut — have yet to declare.

Absolutely. We all know who the Congressional negotiator for Obama is. Great work Mr. Biden.

Boreas 09-02-2015 11:35 AM

If Barbara Mikulski can convince the other Maryland Senator, Ben Cardin, to sign onto the deal, that would make 6 of the 9 Jewish Senators on board. That might be instructive for Likud in that the Jews here in the US don't necessarily sign onto their agenda and that Bibi doesn't "speak for all Jews" as he has claimed.

I have to admit that I'm a little surprised that Ron Wyden is holding out.http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/ima...lies/dunno.gif

Nonsense. President Sanders would never repudiate the deal.

Extremely high hopes for both of you.

Look at history please 8 years is enough for any party. So all the crap Obama made law all by his lonesome will be wiped out.

2/3 of the senate will be opposing....
we have a “deal”, not a “treaty”

If Obama/Biden can line up 34 senators on the deal with Iran, it should be much easier to line up 34 or more for the renaming of Denali. After all Alaska is Republican and the state wants the name reverted back to Denali.

bobabode 09-02-2015 10:03 PM

I'd love to see 41 senators put the kibosh on this Republican taste for blind obstruction, giving McConnell a taste of his own medicine.

There won't be another Republican president in your lifetime.

If they don't wise up to who's in inheriting the future, that will happen. Bigotry and fear mogering can only get you so far in this changing country and that is no longer far enuff to make it. The Southern strategy brought forward is dead strategy.

"A GOP coalition that relies almost entirely on whites could squeeze out one more narrow victory in November," Brownstein writes. "But if Republicans can't find more effective ways to bridge the priorities of their conservative core and the diversifying Next America, that weight will grow more daunting every year."
And they all know this but they just can't keep their racist and misogynistic hatred in check. It just keeps on erupting like a lanced boil at the most inopportune moments.

It's a done deal now. 41 Democratic Senators on board. :)

My title for this thread should be Great Job Mr. Obama! No veto needed, a simple road block. :)
Iran deal, Denali recently, and these after the GOP has been blocking every policy initiative for the past seven years.

From National Review' - "Obama’s Iran Deal Is Still Far from Settled"

"Obama has not complied with the most basic one: the mandate that he provide the complete Iran deal for Congress’s consideration. Therefore, notwithstanding Washington’s frenzied assumption that the 60-day period for a congressional vote is winding down, the clock has never actually started to run. Congress’s obligations under Corker have never been triggered; the Corker process is moot."

;) I almost miss Bill Buckley...I'm afraid he wouldn't recognize his beloved National Review these days.

Andy McCarthy is mistaken, the Senate was supposed to vote this week but since a filibuster is assured, it's over.
Even Ayatollah Khameni has dropped his hardline opposition to the P5+1 agreement.

It looks like a done deal - peace won this round. :)

You didn't read it. The sanctions fall under statute meaning they are law. The executive branch is wrong.

Dondilion 09-08-2015 03:54 PM

Obama did surprisingly well in view of the midterm debacle.

Republican voters must be really frustrated. :D

BTW it was a pleasure to watch him withstand AIPAC.

BS. Once the deal is ratified which will be once the GOP bill is defeated, all sanctions cease to exist. GOP can try and vote new ones in. Why else would the GOP bother to block this deal from passing if they can keep the sanctions in place and keep Iranian assets frozen?

B.S. The sanctions are statutory. I'm sorry, but you challenging McCarthy on the subject of law shows you to be nothing but a biased Lefty. Forgive me if I feel that Andy knows more about law than you do. :rolleyes:
