Obama: I'll Make Case to American People After Iran Deal Is Made

Weekly Standard ^ | 9 March 2015 | DANIEL HALPER

[SkyPilot]

The Iranians are in for a lot of disappointment.

Actually, I think the Iranians are jubilant. They know Congress is not going to lift a finger to stop Obama.

“...because it’s easier to get forgiveness than permission.”

It’s a neener-neener presidency.

"I think it's somewhat ironic to see some members of Congress wanting to make common cause with the hardliners in Iran. It's an unusual coalition," Obama told the reporter.

Projecting much, Barry?

[Gritty]

Tell the world that it isn’t Obama’s black half being impeached, it’s his muslim half.

Aren't they one in the same?

[Georgia Girl 2]

They seem pretty upset today. I think they are afraid Barry will not cave in any further. Their final demand is probably that the US build them a nuke. LOL!

If Obama can’t get a Deal with Iran he will take it out on the US

[Gritty]

He can make whatever case he wants... but the chances of this deal being ratified by 2/3 of the congress is next to nothing.

So, please fill us in.

When has "Congress" ever stopped him from doing what he wants? He could care less what they want - or what the American People want.

You think Kerry or Jarrett hasn’t given them the plans, then. Then again, Kerry wouldn’t be able to know what they are.

"The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time."

True. But that's the sort of thing that encourages our enemies and makes our allies very skittish about dealing with us. They believe that the word of the U.S. can't be trusted, and to speak the honest truth, in a general sense, they're right.

[OKSooner]

Not to worry. Turtle-man will find a way to help him out.

[kjam22]

Congress doesn’t have to stop him. He can sign whatever agreement he wants, but it doesn’t bind this country. It doesn’t bind future presidents, or future congresses. It’s just a personal deal between him and Iran. And, our next president is free to enact whatever foreign policy he/she decides is appropriate.

[NTHockey]

Even if he did, Johnny Roberts and his merry band of black robes will say it’s not a treaty.

Welcome to Acirema where the guilty are rewarded and the innocent are punished.

[Popman]

He can make whatever case he wants... but the chances of this deal being ratified by 2/3 of the congress is next to nothing.

He doesn't need it...

If you read the letter from the 50 GOP senators to the " Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran." it goes on to explain how our constitution works...

The money quote:

"What these two constitutional provisions mean is that we will consider any agreement regarding your nuclear-weapons program that is not approved by the Congress as nothing more than an executive agreement between President Obama and Ayatollah Khamenei. The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time."

Obama will simply sign off with whoever the new leader of Iran is, if Ayatollah Khamenei is pushing up daisies from hell and it's a done deal until 2017...

"We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it!"

(Idiot representative from Gay-Fransisco USA.)

[demshateGod]

Terrorism = Nuisance. Dead Americans = Speed bumps.

[Safetgiver]

Aye, laddy. Ye’ll NOT use the words Obama and Irish in the same sentence again. If Ye do, I’ll take out me shillaglhly and beat the poteen out of your James Bond hide, ye damned Scotsman. (of which I actually am).

[Georgia Girl 2]

Kerry can barely read. He’s the absolute dumbest brick in the bunch. LOL!

[Breto]

It’s not a choice between deal or war its a choice between war on their terms or ours
