Obama declines to sign Iran sanctions renewal, but it still becomes law

In an unexpected reversal, President Barack Obama declined to sign a renewal of sanctions against Iran but let it become law anyway, in an apparent bid to alleviate Tehran's concerns that the U.S. is backsliding on the nuclear deal.

Although the White House had said that Obama was expected to sign the 10-year-renewal, the midnight deadline came and went Thursday with no approval from the president. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama had decided to let it become law without his signature.

The Iran Deal is an unenforceable contract because it is unconstitutional, and therefore, illegal and should be repudiated.

He just could not bear to deny one thin dime to a regime that is so solidly committed to destroying BOTH the USA and Israel.

How could his heart not melt, when he loops those clips of the Supreme Leader leading the crowd in chanting: Death to America! Death to Israel!

It must be a sad day for him indeed.

Iran where they subjugate women and kill gays. But Trump sent out a tweet. Where does the media focus? Obama and Kerry have blood on their hands with both Iran and Syria.

They make a deal with Iran, Iran helps out Russia get around its sanctions, supports Syria and everyone is surprised that it’s all screwed up!
