Each member of congress was handed a copy of the Iran agreement over this past week-end. They now have 90 days to read, digest, research and then vote on the agreement. During that 90 day period, they will be on recess the month of August, returning to their districts to hold town hall meetings to hear from their constituents.

Let your congressperson know what you think after carefully reading the agreement in full.

As the president has said there are three choices; the agreement, no agreement or war.

That is what he said because he is using the age old verbal tactic of presenting least acceptable alternatives ONLY and making it look like we have a choice.

What happened to the option of continuing sanctions? If not effective how about adding the more stringent sanctions that kept being shot down by Harry Reid and his cronies for the last couple of years?

Why is not acceptable to cause Iran as much pain and grief and need as possible?

Of course none of the latter coincide with Obama's need to play nice and give Iran everything they need to become stronger and a more capable force in the middle east. It does not allow Obama to make it look like he did what no other president could. Well he did that.

He made a deal with an enemy that even today is still declaring the USA as it's enemy.

When did making the enemy stronger and more capable become an accetable tactic to winning?

Short answer? It is not.

The one of the "worst" president ever. If I recall, some said he was the worst president ever replacing Carter. Now, you sound like Donald Trump, who can't help himself, and uses superlatives to describe everything. President Obama certainly is divisive, but it not all of his making. To say his skin color doesn't have anything to do with it, would be wrong. The deep division in the parties certainly started with him. It will affect his legacy, and not in a good way no matter who was responsible for it. Time will either raise or lower his presidency.

US manufacturing firms moved many of their operations to China, and other countries prior to him becoming president especially high tech items. He is trying to promoted trade in Asia with the fast track legislation, that he just received. China shouldn't fall on his shoulders.

How can anyone respect the US, after the utter turmoil we started with the Iraq war, and what has since?

Is anyone really qualified to become president, when they first take office? A former vice president (Nixon, Truman, and the first Bush probable come closest), may come close. You have to rely on your trusted advisors. If they are unqualified, you are going to have real problems.

Again with the superlatives. Cheney is still hanging around maybe not in Washington, but he can still get air time on Fox News. Now, there is the most untrustworthy person in or around Washington. "W" has taken the high road, since he left Washington. It would be better served, if Fox News gave him air time. Now, him I would listen to.

Correction: should be 60 days not 90 days in the above post.

The United Nations Security Council has just voted unanimously to accept the Iran deal.

My bad. I didn't mean to repeat myself. I thought once you posted a reply, it disappeared off your screen.

As usual, the "President" sets up a straw man.

The obvious option ... keep the sanctions in place and tighten the screws. But, Obama is under the delusion that Iran can/will/wants to be our friend.

If nothing else, we now know that Obama leans to the Shia vs Sunni ...that's helpful.

As many have said, many times and ignored by the USA, this deal WILL FOR SURE UPSET THE REGION AND MAKE IT MORE UNSTEADY. The only question is when it will come to fruition...during the obvious nuclear race that will now begin to beat Iran to the bomb or when....

"In the first public criticism of the P5+Iran deal by a member of the Saudi Arabian royal family, Prince Bandar bin Sultan told Lebanon’s Daily Star the deal would allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb and would “wreak havoc in the region." Covered in The Times of London, the prince also told Daily Star, "Saudi Arabia and the Gulf powers are prepared to take military action without American support after the Iran nuclear deal"

Iran and Saudi Arabia are the two leading players in the Sunni/Shia divide and are competing for leadership of the Muslim world. The Sunni Islam Saudi Arabian monarchy fears that the Shia Islam Iranians will employ terrorists in an attempt topple the monarchy and the ruling House of Saud. "


"The Prince also said that regional powers have lost faith in America:

“People in my region now are relying on God’s will, and consolidating their local capabilities and analysis with everybody else except our oldest and most powerful ally”
