Sorry no link as my computer is slower than molasses in January, but it is all over the net that BO and his brother have been taken to court by Egyptians for crimes against humanities. But don’t look for him to get impeached.
Barry got two wishes:
1: Subject off of Obamacare.
2: Subject onto Iran.
Damn to those who voted for this clown.
No, I couldn't. Would really like to see the link for that.
This can not be said enough in my opinion.

Transcript: Statement By The President On First Step Agreement On Iran's Nuclear Program
THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. Today, the United States -- together with our close allies and partners -- took an important first step toward a comprehensive solution that addresses our concerns with the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear program.
Since I took office, I’ve made clear my determination to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. As I’ve said many times, my strong preference is to resolve this issue peacefully, and we’ve extended the hand of diplomacy. Yet for many years, Iran has been unwilling to meet its obligations to the international community. So my administration worked with Congress, the United Nations Security Council and countries around the world to impose unprecedented sanctions on the Iranian government.
These sanctions have had a substantial impact on the Iranian economy, and with the election of a new Iranian President earlier this year, an opening for diplomacy emerged. I spoke personally with President Rouhani of Iran earlier this fall. Secretary Kerry has met multiple times with Iran’s Foreign Minister. And we have pursued intensive diplomacy -- bilaterally with the Iranians, and together with our P5-plus-1 partners -- the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, and China, as well as the European Union.
Today, that diplomacy opened up a new path toward a world that is more secure -- a future in which we can verify that Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful and that it cannot build a nuclear weapon.
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.
On our side, the United States and our friends and allies have agreed to provide Iran with modest relief, while continuing to apply our toughest sanctions. We will refrain from imposing new sanctions, and we will allow the Iranian government access to a portion of the revenue that they have been denied through sanctions. But the broader architecture of sanctions will remain in place and we will continue to enforce them vigorously. And if Iran does not fully meet its commitments during this six-month phase, we will turn off the relief and ratchet up the pressure.
Over the next six months, we will work to negotiate a comprehensive solution. We approach these negotiations with a basic understanding: Iran, like any nation, should be able to access peaceful nuclear energy. But because of its record of violating its obligations, Iran must accept strict limitations on its nuclear program that make it impossible to develop a nuclear weapon.
In these negotiations, nothing will be agreed to unless everything is agreed to. The burden is on Iran to prove to the world that its nuclear program will be exclusively for peaceful purposes.
If Iran seizes this opportunity, the Iranian people will benefit from rejoining the international community, and we can begin to chip away at the mistrust between our two nations. This would provide Iran with a dignified path to forge a new beginning with the wider world based on mutual respect. If, on the other hand, Iran refuses, it will face growing pressure and isolation.
Over the last few years, Congress has been a key partner in imposing sanctions on the Iranian government, and that bipartisan effort made possible the progress that was achieved today. Going forward, we will continue to work closely with Congress. However, now is not the time to move forward on new sanctions -– because doing so would derail this promising first step, alienate us from our allies and risk unraveling the coalition that enabled our sanctions to be enforced in the first place.
That international unity is on display today. The world is united in support of our determination to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. Iran must know that security and prosperity will never come through the pursuit of nuclear weapons -- it must be reached through fully verifiable agreements that make Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons impossible.
As we go forward, the resolve of the United States will remain firm, as will our commitments to our friends and allies –- particularly Israel and our Gulf partners, who have good reason to be skeptical about Iran’s intentions.
Ultimately, only diplomacy can bring about a durable solution to the challenge posed by Iran’s nuclear program. As President and Commander-in-Chief, I will do what is necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. But I have a profound responsibility to try to resolve our differences peacefully, rather than rush towards conflict. Today, we have a real opportunity to achieve a comprehensive, peaceful settlement, and I believe we must test it.
The first step that we’ve taken today marks the most significant and tangible progress that we’ve made with Iran since I took office. And now we must use the months ahead to pursue a lasting and comprehensive settlement that would resolve an issue that has threatened our security -- and the security of our allies -- for decades. It won’t be easy, and huge challenges remain ahead. But through strong and principled diplomacy, the United States of America will do our part on behalf of a world of greater peace, security, and cooperation among nations.
Thank you very much.
I know we have a lot of numb nuts for voters, but at some point they do need to pay enough attention so this country can go forward and function IMO.
Oh, I’m sure money is involved somewhere to pad his pockets. He really is an empty suit/chair or whatever...HA.
Also, after finally turning my TV on this evening I see Juan Williams flapping his jaws about how great O has handled this. (makes me want to puke) H’mmm? I wondered why they invited that little troll to the “off the record” WH meeting this past week...now I know. I suspect they received their talking points on how to prop up their dear leader concerning the Obama SURRENDER to Iran.
Yes Sir, I agree. :)
You see, now we can forget about Benghazi, Obamacare, the 1000+ Executive Orders,The Illinois Disbarrment, The Interesting BC,the permanent affair with Reggie Love, etc. We and the MSM can now go back to mute adoration of the Mombasa MF.
This has delayed the Iranian Nuclear Weapons Program for what .... 20-30 minutes, or at least until after lunch.
Oh yes, the Marxist knew Juan would follow orders and he has.
I find it loathsome that Fox News has given him such a prominent role. I mute my TV whenever Juan’s face appears on my screen.

Yes, the weasel is quite annoying. IMO, he is one of the worst KOOL-AID drinkers on TV. IMO, Juan Williams and Alan Colmes are cut from the same soiled cloth...
Many thanks for the link, satin doll!
To Israel, it is clear that Iran is following the North Korean model. Over the past 24 years, Pyongyang has shown Tehran how to cheat its way to a nuclear bomb, signing accord after accord with the West, each hailed as "historic and transformative" by Washington, only to violate the accords within months and move forward with its nuclear bomb program without any real repercussions. It is not lost on Israel that the administration official who negotiated several of these sham accords with North Korea is none other than Wendy Sherman, today's U.S. undersecretary of state for political affairs, in charge of the talks with Iran.
You are very welcome.
lobotomies are in order for this administration
