Sen. Chuck Schumer has finally make the decision to oppose President Obama’s historic nuclear deal with Iran, a report said.

The top-ranking Democrat has been under pressure from opponents of the Iran nuclear accord — including his own Jewish allies — and will voice his opposition on Friday following fellow New York Democrat Kirstin Gillibrand’s announcement of her support, according to The Huffington Post.

YAY! I personally called Schumer's office and spent part of today researching and sending materials to people to arm them with talking points, urging them to call his office and tell him to can this horrible deal. I hope that my efforts were at least one atom in affecting his decision. I didn't expect any better from the other NY Senator, Dips___ Kirsten Gillibrand. She is know for her utter stupidity and naiveté in believing liars. I have absolutely loathed her since her election. She has done nothing but degrade the world with her stupidity.

Chuckles isn’t a complete slimeball I guess.

Obama will call him in....

[Jet Jaguar]

He certainly got someone on the fence to support it in exchange for a favor.

He needs the votes.

Here I thought the Iranian hardliners were like the republicans - common cause? Oye vey!

[Sacajaweau]

I'm a firm Republican...but he does a lot for NY. He's very good to/for the Vets and farmers.

So on the local level, he's fine but on the Federal level....not so much.

[Sacajaweau]

I think he wants to retire.

GOOD FOR CHUCK!
Loyalty to America is more important than loyalty to Obama!

Sorry it took Chuck so long to decide the obvious, but GOOD GOOD for Chuck!

Will 0bamas goons shoot him or will Israeli patriots shoot him. Seems he is in a corner. His security detail can’t protect him against all threats and they may want to protect the country.

I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect its just theater. Chuck needs to be seen as being dragged kicking and screaming to the deal.

Fantastic news.

Have a great time on The Vineyard,Obozo.

Why do I suspect that he waited for permission from Obama? This is probably one of those cases where his opposition won’t change the final outcome, but he gets to crow about opposing it.

[Obadiah]

Credit to Schumer whom I was almost certain was going to go with Party over faith and Israel.

Kudos to him.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I don’t buy this! Never, ever trust Rats. There’s got to be some ulterior motive behind this.

[Menehune56]

Big deal. The Corker bill was designed so the uni-party could vote against this travesty and still let it pass by not overriding Obama’s veto. All a big charade.

[AU72]

OK today. We will see if the Chuckster holds to his view at crunch time.

[Nifster]

NOw if he can dragsome more along with him.
Lordy I hate having to depend on dems in order to stop the DiC

[iceskater]

I think hell just froze over.
I’m amazed.

Stopped clocks and all that, I guess.

[iceskater]

Good point.

I wonder if his defection will give courage to others to oppose the deal? We can hope.

Bull shuck!!
