John Kerry signed a peace agreement with Iran.\u00a0 Obama gave a speech praising peace in our time.\u00a0 But there is a huge problem.\u00a0 I cannot recall a previous time when a U.S. President made such a deal without strong bi-partisan support.\u00a0 There is a reason for that.\u00a0 If a President speaks on an international issue and the country does not support him, he is finished.\u00a0 How on earth can an administration have an ounce of international credibility if his own country will not support him?\u00a0 Yet, in this case, Obama has already lost critical support and it is likely to get worse.<\/p>\n

Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat from New York is already on record opposing the deal and saying that he will discuss the possibility of congress bypassing the President and increasing sanctions on Iran.\u00a0 Obama has been secretly removing sanctions for months.\u00a0 This is an irreconcilable difference:<\/p>\n

This is a slap shot at the President of the United States by one of the most influential members of his own party.\u00a0 But perhaps the most serious slap at this President came from Bob Schieffer.\u00a0 Following is the link to the YouTube video of this:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3cfOXFog54Q&feature=youtube_gdata<\/a><\/p>\n

He asked the following stunning questions of Kevin McCarthy:<\/p>\n

Is Iran Deal ‘Diversionary Tactic’ for Obama Admin?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

One will note that McCarthy was more hesitant to throw President Obama under the bus than Chuck Schumer.\u00a0 This is not because McCarthy approves of this deal, but rather that McCarthy knows the significant of opposing a President of the United States with regard to foreign policy.\u00a0 Republicans have a strong tradition of backing a President, even if they disagree with him, because they strongly believe that politics should end at the nation\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n

The real problem here is that no one believes either President Obama or John Kerry.\u00a0 We have simply been told one lie too many by this administration.\u00a0 Even if they are right about this, which is open to debate, no one trusts them. How very sad.\u00a0 At a time when this country desperately needs a President with real leadership ability, we have Barack Obama. So I thought, what could make me even more skeptical.\u00a0 The following answers that question:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/news\/middle-east\/1.559875<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all aware of the risks involved,\u201d said Jimmy Carter. \u201cBut I am convinced that, after 35 years of animosity and distrust, there is an historic opportunity to rebuild relations with the government and people of Iran on solid foundations of mutual respect.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Kofi Annan, the chairman of the Elders and former secretary-general of the UN, said he hoped the deal would be “swiftly followed up with practical measures to put the agreement into effect. “After years of inconclusive negotiations, this is an important step forward in restoring confidence between Iran and the international community,” Annan said.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

When the most inept President, with the exception of Obama, in the history of the United States and the most inept Secretary General of the United Nations call this a great deal don\u2019t expect good results.\u00a0 It is hard to imagine why anyone would ever consider taking advice from Jimmy Carter on how to deal effectively with Iran.<\/p>\n
