US Congress vs. Obama on Iran - 2nd Term Blues

The UN and Iran Deal: The White House: " While today’s announcement is just a first step, it achieves a great deal.  For the first time in nearly a decade, we have halted the progress of the Iranian nuclear program, and key parts of the program will be rolled back.  Iran has committed to halting certain levels of enrichment and neutralizing part of its stockpiles.  Iran cannot use its next-generation centrifuges, which are used for enriching uranium.  Iran cannot install or start up new centrifuges, and its production of centrifuges will be limited.  Iran will halt work at its plutonium reactor.  And new inspections will provide extensive access to Iran’s nuclear facilities and allow the international community to verify whether Iran is keeping its commitments.

These are substantial limitations which will help prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon.  Simply put, they cut off Iran’s most likely paths to a bomb.  Meanwhile, this first step will create time and space over the next six months for more negotiations to fully address our comprehensive concerns about the Iranian program.  And because of this agreement, Iran cannot use negotiations as cover to advance its program. "

CNN - Politics: Reports the following on the US Congressional reaction to the US - Iran deal, " Both Republicans and Democrats were cautious about the agreement’s provision to loosen sanctions against Iran. A few called for another round of sanctions to be passed immediately, while more urged a backup plan that would impose new sanctions.. ".

Lets Get Real:

This what happens when the Oval is underwater in the polls, and has lost the trust of the US Voter, friends even in your own Party have to protect their rear, the Jewish vote is a major factor for Democrats, they can not afford to be on a page that has the US/Iran verses Israel.  Any failure of the deal by Iran will hurt President Obama and could cost Democrats seats in the House and Senate, thus expect worried Democrats to keep an eye on the Oval and Iran, if Iran is cheating, and they will the Democrats will throw the Oval under the bus, ObamaCare and Iran going wrong would be political nuclear disaster, even very safe Democrats would come under threat in the 2014 Mid Terms.   Watch this space folks, a developing story.
