Here is one of my concerns......Rep Donald Beyer (D) says he will support this deal because in his words.....
"Thanks to the Obama administration’s negotiations, Iran’s nuclear program will be under lock, key and camera 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. " Why I'll vote in favor of the Iran nuclear deal | MSNBC.
HOWEVER, from what I read.....
"As part of the deal announced Tuesday morning, Iran could have up to 24 days warning of an inspection from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is far from the snap inspections some in Congress had been demanding." Iran inspections could be sticking point for Democrats in nuke deal | Washington Examiner
It is implausible to me that an American President can be so involved in such a deal....prior to the deal being finalized, an article appeared in POLITICO Magazine citing the involvement of Putin.
". In his remarks in the Rose Garden, President Obama declared Tehran had agreed to precisely that. “If Iran cheats, the world will know,” he said.
Yet weapons inspectors can be no tougher than the body that empowers them—in this instance the UN Security Council. And herein lies the agreement’s fundamental weakness—and perhaps its fatal flaw. Do we really want to depend on Vladimir Putin? Because Russia will be able to decide what to enforce in any deal—and what not to.

Russia and China and France will gain so much in weaponry contracts, and if these reports on inspections are close to true, how could he do this ?
Of course we have not heard the details yet, so gotta wait, but frankly I do not trust this President to tell the truth thus I hope we really dig out the details and let us know.
Of course, he has put us into a situation where we are screwed either way. This resembles the OBAMACARE deal. We will never ever be able to put this back in the bottle. If the vote is not acceptable, then he vetoes (he already said that), then even if most democrats wised up, how do you back out of deal then especially with Russia and China involved. This is precisely why in the past we stayed out of these negotiations. I think we are screwed.
Next thing I was struck by early on is Kerry's remarks that "this is a nuclear deal
'" Why then did we allow the arms embargo to go away and enrich Russia who has been and will supply them.
Also, what is a mute point to me is....what is the alternative....that seems to be the old rhetoric we hear lots of times...a Saul Alinsky tactic.....the alternative is to add more sanctions, insist of demolition of all nuclear possibilities, allow total inspections and maybe.
If I sound negative, I am sorry. I will surely read but these are my first impressions, plus no word on 5 prisoners of the USA in Iran. I am really depressed about this.
