White House warns Senate anew on Iran legislation

"...“The administration’s request to Congress is simple: Let us complete the negotiations before the Congress acts on legislation,”..."

Can you explain to me what's wrong with the administration's request? Why can't congress 'butt out' and allow negotiations to be completed?

 

Menendez bags on Iran sanctions, and congressman says AIPAC demands deference to Israel over US January 27, 2015

Menendez had already promised to delay his bill until more is known later. What's up with Corker?

 

He's not doing anything that other Presidents didn't also do. The GOP is just mad because he is using his given power to bypass what they thought was their ability to lameduck him.

It's hilarious.

The 47 continue to be an embarrassment to the country.

And they are 100% incorrect about an agreement being undone by another President which definitely won't be from the GOP any time soon.

The potential agreement is being negotiated by the UN Permanent Security Council Members + Germany.

Any President who tries to undo it with the stroke of a pen will have an international catastrophe on his hands if he hasn't gotten the okay of the other 5 countries who are in the potential agreement.

And as much as a GOP run Congress would want to override a veto against their legislation to undo or change the US terms of such an agreement, they could only do so with a two-thirds vote of Congress.

Somewhere in this, one can't help but wonder if this all goes back to a bunch of old white guys being upset that they can't control what that black guy in the White House does. :laugh:

 

It goes against what the influenced GOP feels he should be doing.

Money and pride.

 

Exactly right.

 

President Barack Obama's Complete List of Historic Firsts [Updated]

This is a very disturbing list of offenses. (and no, I haven't been totally unaware of them)

But, who's behind all this? Who are his advisors? Do you all actually believe Obama is acting alone?
