President Obama made a good deal

Since Reagan was never prosecuted or indicted, I think he got away with it and no crime was committed. The rest is just bellyaching. It was Congress who crossed the line by passing the Bolan amendment that interfered with the authority of the president to supply money to the Contras. Foreign policy is not part of the responsibilities of the Congress. Reagan found a way to sell obsolete weapons (that Iran had already paid for once) to Iran and got two things (that is how you negotiate); money for the Contras and the release of some hostages.

What Obama did flies in the face of common sense and shows that a keeper should be appointed to look after this man-child until he leaves office. Lincoln, whom Obama claims to admire, stopped trading prisoners with the Confederacy because the officers just returned to the battlefield to fight again.

I think President Obama made the best deal we can get with Iran.

It will stop them from stockpiling more weapons grade material, lower the number of centrifuges, and allow international inspections.

We now have a pathway to monitor what they are doing, and have positively influenced the chance for peace in the Middle East.

The Iranians appear to be happy with it and have committed to not developing nuclear weapons. This is an example of good high level diplomacy by his administration, and I think we should all support his efforts on the international stage. Originally Posted by DSK

Yeah right, a Democrat of the Strom Thurmond variety!

I do realize the Clintons are running low on funds and need to get back on the government tit where they can hustle some more money for their endowment/slush fund ..... even though the country does need a breather from the know nothing you help get elected again.

Or are there special rules that say Democrats can do something that Republicans are then not allowed to do??

I then asked, politely I might add, if you disagreed with Sen Cotton and his 46 cohorts, since they took it upon themselves to sabotage negotiations. Iran doesn't need to be informed by some dipshit senator how our government works. Half of them were educated here.
