Why wouldn't you want to hear what a former Republican Secretary of State had to say about the agreement?
Obama made congress look bad by rushing to the UN for a vote. Is that right? 47 Republican senators wrote a letter to Iranian leaders to include Ayatollah Khomeini telling them the deal wasn't a done deal. The implication was the US was going to back out of a bad deal. The Iranian foreign minister called the letter a propaganda ploy. They brought Netanyahu to speak before Congress before the deal was finalized. How do you make that crowd look any worst than they already are? Are you going to even try to say the Republicans aren't playing games with this agreement?
21% of Americans support the deal, that is right. However, 30% said that do not know if it is a good deal or not. The poster wrote that 75% of Americans think it is a bad deal. He threw all the don't knows into the bad deal column. That isn't playing with numbers to support your argument! Then, what is?
We didn't give in everything to Iran on the agreement. They wanted their military sites to be off limits. Do you think for a second that Iran wanted their supplies of nuclear bomb material to be cut back as far as they have? This Iranian self inspection only applies to nuclear sites that have been dismantled. They will supply material from the sites for inspection.
The 24 day hysteria is just that. Iran delayed an inspection of one their former nuclear sites for 10 months before they let the IAEA onto them. The IAEA still found out that they were trying to produce nuclear bombs on the site. You literally can't hide what you were doing in 24 days.
There really does become a point where you have to provide some details of what you are going to do other than repeal and replace, get a better deal, and never say how.
I will look into this arm twisting deal. All the Democratic Senators that voted for the plan did so based upon conscience and not one of them mentioned arm twisting. The arm twisting was done behind closed doors. How nice another conspiracy theory.
I will ask you what is so bad about the ACA that it will bankrupt the country as one posted said. No one has ever answered that question that I can recall.

I am typing this and already sorry that I am responding.
You are to be applauded for your total and complete support for the President, You would support this man under any or all circumstances.
Just a few and there are so many....but just a few suggestions.
First, visit the CBO analysis, which is a fluid and dynamic figure, but study the impact of the ACA on our economy, the cost WHEN IT FINALLY IS FINALLY TOTALLY IN OPERATION which is not now. Tell me how this country can afford that ?
On the Iran deal, while there is so much to say let me just ask you this question. Already, Iran is in Russia illegally negotiating ICBMS. England, France and Russia are all opening embassies as quick as they can because the money going into their coffers, along with China is going to be a massive amount. Iran is already making threats. Iran has already magically discovered more material than they knew they had....read sarcasm. They will do their own inspection of military site selected by them and get back to us.
Ok...let us assume that in the first year, Iran is caught with their hands in the cookie jar so to speak, in one way or the other...doing something they should not be doing. We say, that deal will be done.
Ok....how do you think those countries that now have a better economy and are dealing in trade with Iran will handle that ? Do you think they will say...oh, they cheated....lets pull the plug on the deal.
NOPE....all our bluster is just that...bluster. This is a NON REVERSABLE DEAL.
And as bad a deal as could be done. We rolled over on all our pre conceived ideas on what we want
I do compliment you though...you will support this administration at and on anything.
And please, despite your support for the President, can you skip the racial crap. it is insulting and does not apply, although, as the President feels it applies in everything.
