2. Truer words have never been spoken.

[onehandle]

3. Pretty substantial for the so-called 'third way party.'

Hillary will extend President Obama's and the Democratic Party's great works once she is sworn in as President.

14. Since nothing can alleviate their butthurt

Maybe advise them to apply the ointment with a stiff wire brush.

31. You remind me of this All-Time GREAT Gary Owens radio blooper.

That one Christmas when Preparation H would never be the same again...

I think I was working at the then-RKO AM flagship station when I first discovered this. Somebody inevitable had it in their personal collection of outtakes. Those of us just hearing it for the first time almost wet ourselves laughing. You could hear it up and down the hall! And yes it originally was done live.

9. All the weapons manufacturers are NOT happy.

[wordpix]

11. and they're already beating the drums about "10 yrs. from now" - IOW, contract with us now

for our weapons and in 10 yrs., we'll be ready to take Iran on.

fing%%#^()_%%#$@!*()_ corporate war machine and their paid employees in Congress

12. Calling Dr. Z. for the GOP!

[senz]

17. LOL -- love it!

[Johnny2X2X]

13. Great for America

This is a great day for our country, watching Republicans try to marginalize this disgusts me.

And Obama will go down as the most consequential President since FDR and it's not even close. Reagan, Clinton, and Kennedy combined can not compare to the legacy Obama has built.

[SunSeeker]

15. Thank you, Mr. President. nt

[senz]

16. Bravo President Obama and Sec. of State Kerry!

I believe the President and Kerry just altered history -- for the better.

Now watch the Repuibs gnash their teeth and scream for us all to "be afraid!"

So glad I voted for Obama. And am grateful to John Kerry, too. Class acts, both

[IHateTheGOP]

18. This is called leadership. Anyone can make war.

Go fuck yourselves Repuglicans.

[pinto]

32. Kudos all around.

[Submariner]

33. Obama should have made the Iranian nuclear deal announcement from the steps of the new Cuban Embassy

in Havana to maximize the soreness of that butthurt.

[SunSeeker]

34. LOL

[renegade000]

35. lol indeed!

he could have then followed up by holding an instruction seminar about signing up for the ACA using the federal exchange, then capped the day off by officiating a gay wedding

[Spitfire of ATJ]

36. The Republican NEED to go to war with Iran as revenge for Reagan....

I wonder how many of them even know Khomeini is dead?

(Or Reagan for that matter)

[47of74]

37. I love seeing the Veep wearing his badass face.

[Johnny2X2X]

40. The long game

This is a monumental accomplishment, I don't think that can be overstated. Only Obama could have gotten this deal done. Only Obama could have held the coalition of World Powers together, and only Obama could have gotten such concessions from the Iranians. Only Obama could have gained the trust necessary from the Iranians to get a deal like this done. Iran is a country whose elected leaders were over thrown by the US in favor of a US friendly dictator. This is a country we gave chemical weapons to Iraq to use against.

As has been pointed out, Obama had a deal like this in mind on day 1 that he took office. He worked from day 1 to toughen the sanctions and hold the coalition together. He worked from day 1 to build trust in the Middle East to make something like this possible. Remember his tour of the Middle East that the Right roundly criticized him for? This deal would not have been possible without that tour.

As always, Obama has been playing the long game. What a huge victory for him and for our country. All of this during his supposed lame duck term. This President is writing a legacy that is unprecedented in modern times. He's already the most consequential president since FDR and he's not done by a long shot. Obama is going to be a towering figure in US history, simply one of the most effective and dynamic presidents in history.

41. Congressman Matt Salmon 5th District of AZ. indicated on CNN this morning that

without reading the Iran accord he will vote NO. He indicated he doesn't have to read bills in order to vote. This is what he put on his website:
Rep. Salmon Statement on President Obama’s Bad Deal with Iran
Jul 14, 2015 Press Release
This is a bad deal for America, our allies, and the world that seeks a more peaceful and stable Middle East.
Washington, D.C. — Rep. Matt Salmon (AZ-05) today released the following statement on the outcome of the President’s negotiations with Iran.

“Iran has proven time and time again that it can’t be trusted to meet its international obligations and agreements. I believe the Administration is naïve to suggest that the hundreds of billions of dollars Iran will gain access to through this agreement will not be used to continue the proliferation of terrorism across the globe. Despite the President’s bold statement that this agreement will ensure that ‘the Islamic Republic of Iran will not develop a nuclear weapon,’ it actually puts them on a path towards legitimately developing and possessing a nuclear bomb in just 10 years. The consequences will further destabilize an already volatile Middle East, but will also pose a direct threat to U.S. national security. Finally, failure by Iran to release the three Americans they are holding prisoner or provide information on a fourth American that was last seen in Iran, is additional evidence that Iran is not serious about being a true partner going forward.

“This is a bad deal for America, our allies, and the world that seeks a more peaceful and stable Middle East. I will not support this agreement and I work tirelessly to convince my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to do the same.”

Rep. Matt Salmon (AZ-05) serves on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific. He is also a member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

This is an individual elected for the people in DC making critical decisions without reading what he votes on. IS this the type of REpublican we want running our nation? He is from the 5th District of AZ covering Gilbert. AZ
