The timing of the leak is just to convenient. Someone, who can identify himself, gives an unsigned agreement to the press. It just so happens to cause a fire storm during the lead up time to the vote on the Iran deal. If that doesn't smell of politics to you, you are holding your nose.
Concerning the support of over 50% of Americans, since when the majority opinion have any say in today's politics. Between 85-90% approved of enhanced background checks for guns, that legislation went nowhere.
Concerning the ACA, it had over 50% approval in both houses. Reid had to get around McConnell's filibuster, which he did.
My eyes are wide open. Given the state of current politics, nothing will be done in the next year and half. Everything right now has a political twist. How anyone can be happy about this is beyond me. Who the hell wants to sit and argue about everything?

IF MSNBC reported that, it flies in the face of what is on their website as it makes no reference whatsoever to IAEA visiting Parchin IN PERSON.
CNN says....
"The Obama administration has acknowledged that Iranians would likely be involved in inspections of the Parchin military site -- which the West has widely suspected of being the site of past illicit nuclear activity -- under a draft agreement between the Iranians and the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, which handles the inspections.
A senior administration official told CNN that while Iranians may be collecting the samples at Parchin, individuals from other countries would be involved in analyzing them.
It also seems likely that IAEA staff would either be present or watching via video camera and directing the Iranians when they take samples from the site.
The agreement governing the inspection of Parchin is separate from the wide-ranging inspections regime the IAEA will impose on other Iranian sites under the deal. Those inspections focus on ongoing nuclear work, whereas the investigation of Parchin is into past activities."

"David Albright, an analyst who participated in nuclear inspections in Iraq, said "it is not customary at all" for the IAEA to not collect its own samples, and said if the IAEA can't visit Parchin personally to look for nooks and crannies it may want to sample, it would need robust video connections to adequately monitor the process.
"It's really not normal, and you have to worry that this would set a bad precedent in the Iran context and in the context of other countries," said Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security. "I don't know why they accepted it. I think the IAEA is probably getting a little desperate to settle this."
Bottom line, you think it is a good deal, and I do not.
I might add that you should get other sources of news. Your "spin" on the ACA is totally incorrect.
