That is a dismissive statement that has not merit.......everyday americans who discuss politics or economics are allowed to have opinions, despite your smart aleck remarks.QUOTE]
If I were you, I would think of those at the Vienna conferences as seasoned negotiators and not as politicans. Most have spent their careers doing similar work in some capacity.
Allow the negotiators the credit for their vast experience. People outside of your area of expertise during your work career were not criticizing every aspect of your job, were they? You knew what worked best and did an admirable job. These negotiators know what is best in the long run for our country.

See I am having trouble figuring out what point you make. Of corse what you say is accurate, but you can make the same statement concerning any facet of foreign relations and actually any mechanism in government.
Thus, are you suggesting that American citizens just shut up and not voice opinions ?
Nobody would make the claim that they know better, but all have opinions. My baseball days came to an ended a few years after high school, but to this day I have strong feelings on baseball.
If we are just to shut up and accept this deal, then should that not apply to any government actions by any party ?
I listened closely to the President today. He made good points. There are more questions I have and some are already posted here, but I never even came remotely close to even suggesting that those negotiating were any less than honorable.
I just am not sure of your point here. I never spoke in congress about budgets, but have an opinion..please just explain your point...why would this issue be so different to any other ?
