Ever since President Barack Hussein Obama and Secretary of State John Forbes Kerry shouted in triumph that they had secured a "deal" with Iran, things have been going downhill. First, Iran said that the context of the agreement as being released by Obama and Kerry was NOT what they agreed to. Second, it was disclosed that the "deal" allowed Iran to pick which sites could be inspected. Third, the I.A.E.A.stated there was no workable way for them to verify Iran's compliance with the terms of the "deal." Fourth, the international community, especially Israel, announced their displeasure with the "deal."
At home, Republicans and Democrats alike challenged the intentions of Iran and expressed doubt Iran would comply. Congress began to talk about adding sanctions against Iran instead of reducing them as Kerry had negotiated. Obama made it clear to Democrats that they sure as hell had better not be voting for more sanctions on Iran... or else. He had Kerry go to The Hill to plea the case that the "deal" would be scuttled by Iran if they tried to add sanctions. Now, 26 Senators, including top Democrats, have introduced a bill to add sanctions against Iran. The White House immediately announced it would veto the legislation if passed.
Good. Let it happen. You can bet your sweet potatoes that the veto will easily be overridden. From an international security standpoint, this is the worst "deal" to come out of an administration since the country was founded.
The promising thing to come out of this is that it appears to me Obama no longer rules the Democrats with an iron fist and they are starting to think for themselves.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
