This Iran situation is simply a repeat of the Affordable Care Act.
No matter what happens, President Obama has only one person to blame for both the continuing distrust on the Affordable Care Act and the Iran deal.
Back in 2014, there was an opinion piece that I read and concur with. I looked and finally was able to pin it down.
It speaks to our President never asking for advice and feeling that his opinion is the
only opinion and is always correct.
A few "outages" from that piece, which is on the Iran deal, but you can substitute the Affordable Care act as well...
"President Obama’s insistence on consulting largely with himself on the world’s most complex issues is well known. Most troublesome for the outcome with Iran is his rejection of needed support from Congress."
This insistence was apparent in the Affordable Care ramp up. He did not want any input at all and was forced to have a dog and pony show on CSPAN, in which he mocked Republicans PUBLICLY. I designated that day that the was the end of any cooperation between the parties, as he manifested that it was "his way or the highway"
While negotiations were on going in 2014 and concessions were being made...
"Throughout the negotiations, however, the Obama Administration has gone out of its way to weaken the U.S. negotiating hand. Earlier this year, the White House twisted arms in the Senate to abandon a bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by 60 of the chamber’s 100 legislators, that put in place stronger sanctions against Iran in case those talks failed.
Despite Mr. Obama’s opposition, the Senate had led the push to hit Iran’s economy harder, forcing the regime to the table. Noting Iran’s opposition to this year’s sanctions bill, Administration officials said they wanted to send a goodwill gesture to Tehran. As the summer deadline extension showed, the Iranians offered nothing in return."
Those who look at our world and think that NOBODY but the President can be correct, are doing a real disservice to themselves, because not only are they totally and freely ignoring what has happened in this country for six years but making the situation much more diverse than it need be,
Obama, Congress and Iran - WSJ
When John Kerry appeared before Congress, he was asked by a democrat, Representative Brad Sherman (D., Calif.) if the
LAW will be followed by the administration if the veto is overridden, which is probably not going to happen.
But his response was telling in that he would not commit without consulting with the President. Sherman pressed in shock and asked him if he were implying that the
LAW would not be followed by the President. Kerry would not commit.
If you need a link to that, either google or ask. I is a video on several sites.
The key is this President has made this mess with Democrats and Republicans and has even offended many....well, lets say LOTS within:blahblahblah::blahblahblah: his party with his idea that HE and only HE....not the law...he should have the final say on everything.
We need in the next election and this will be my guide, a statesman and someone who understands the meaning of compromise and hearing others ideas and also understanding this is not someone's kingdom
Republicans will criticize Democrats...Democrats will criticize Republicans, but the last 6 years the cadence has picked up. I just suggest you consider what I am saying:blahblahblah:. There is a lot of information :blahblahblah:to bolster this and when this administration is done, there will be many many books written about how this President, single handily has widened the crevice:blahblahblah: of understanding, not only in politics but in race and other areas. And he has only himself to blame
