President Obama Set To Send In SOS Kerry To Negotiate A Peace Accord With The Repugs....

Wouldn't it be great if the Repugs could congratulate the President and Kerry and give them a thumbs up on this.

Right now, however, the Repugs are looking to develop talking points to sully this accomplishment.

After this story hit breaking news - I turned to Faux. They originally reported it as it came over the wire - but then went to a series of long commercials (probably to figure out how they could taint the news) and came back saying that we got only 4 and the Iranians got more prisoners released - and insinuated that the Iranians got the better of the deal.

It's a sad, sad commentary when we have people and news organizations in this country always trying to spin everything negatively.
