Exactly.

Glad you're here! I'm loving it, too. Don't know which part of it I like more - the hard work and accomplishment for Team Obama, or how miserable and Sore-Loserman the GOP tantrums are, in reaction. The latter may actually fuel my glee more than the former!

And for Will Pitt - "ain't no used car" - you rascal, you!!!!

Whoop!!!!

....and the GOP got nuttin'.

They wanted a war in the Middle East to drive up the low oil prices. Low oil prices are a disaster for the Kochs, oil speculators and oil companies. Couple that with the fact that there is no shiny new war for the MIC to drain treasure for, and it is a shitty day to be a Republican, part of the .01%, and oil companies.

And the rest of us are laughing all the way to the gas pump.

It's all there. If you choose to reject it, well, that on you...

...since you're doubting the source, Skippy.

You doubt a source I posted a link to. You demand that I back up the source with more sources, instead of you offering a rebuttal to the original source material.

Again, I ask, what is your true beef with the source?

Google is your friend, Skippy.

Do your own work,.

...but, alas, she didn't write it out in crayon, for the righties.

Regardless of whether we wake up on November 9, 2016 with Hillary or a GOP President, I wonder how long that will last.

You are right this is history. Both Obama, who wanted a different foreign policy and Kerry, who spoke of wanting Vietnam to be remembered as where the country turned, was fortunate to work tirelessly for a President willing to take the huge risk and the known hits that were sure to come when rejecting the neo con path we have been on so long.

I love that both of them are who they are.

Good job Mr. President and SOS Kerry.

and it is quite an achievement.

This deal could actually lead to bigger steps such as resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict, which would cause a lot of the tension to dissolve in the Middle East.

This deal is potentially a huge step for peace, world-wide.

That gas guzzling, auspicious display of materialism? Why couldn't it have been an American-made Chevy Volt?

I'm kidding!

Yes ... The President and his team done done good!

Surely it's better put together better than a Caddy!
I was thinking, Mercedes.

Thank you for your hard work.
Signed,
the World

I am beginning to believe he might be Superman. Once he got slapped down a few times with that "bipartisan" approach, he got up off the mat for the fifth or sixth time and started punching back. He has really made the do-nothing Congress look foolish, and I don't think he's through yet. He just looks better and better, every day. I'm waiting for him to close Guantanamo Bay.

Somebody upstairs likes him, and though I don't believe in guardian angels, I think he has one...

Comic that after an election where some dumbass candidates denounced him and said they were running as Hillary Democrats, he comes out like Popeye who just ate a can of spinach....

or Superman who just happens to have his kryptonite shield handy...

It's a friggin Tesla.

Reminds of how important it was to keep McCain on the sidelines.

Great leadership President Obama.

I say he's finally earned that one he got a few years ago.

As for those 47 GOP senators who signed that letter, they will go down in history as traitors to this nation

He deserves accolades for this one! fuck the right wingers from here AND Israel.

had Lurch been president we would have been hip deep in Syria and bombing Iran by now. It is nice to have adults around.

After the top brass at the Pentagon marvel at the comprehensive, detailed limitations on Iran's nuclear program, even some Republicans may feel morally compelled to admit that president Obama has scored an enormous, historic victory.

Their praise will sound like this:

(crickets)

As a vocal critic of Obama, I am compelled to issue a hearty "Well done!" for his efforts on the Iran agreement.

And guess who's first book (I think it was) I just found in my "special" shelf? Yep............ Yours!

No one human being is perfect; most of us mess up some things and do fantastic things at times.

I am just as entitled to praise President Obama on this, as I am entitled to criticize him on things I disagree with.

I hope that settles any questions as to what Aerows thinks.

Do I *always* have to like him? Like, every second of every day of every decision? Do I get to decide what I agree with and what I don't?

You asked. I'd like an answer.

Or at least two. So no, again no, and, you do it here all the time.

march in lock-step. I like the president and have since before he was elected. But I am a Democrat and I think it's my responsibility to resist idol worship and hold my elected representatives accountable. I notice that some here are quick to jump in when the President says or does something progressive, but if the president says or does something that is conservative they don't debate the issue for his side but rely completely on ad hominem attacks against those that might dare to disagree. Like fracking or the TPP. Pres Obama supporters rarely enter debates on these issues.

Seems to me that those here that have a hard spot for Will is because they hate his independence. Conservatives hate independent thinkers they prefer idol worship and lock-step obedience.

the way that one has hated on him.

are you bringing up past problems you've had with him here?

I have had this presidents back through the good times and the bad. People that jump on bandwagon when things look good suck. Those who do it in a condescending tone suck worse. Those who do those things and have a history of drunken threats totally suck. Those are general statements and any resemblance to anyone is purely coincidental.

Spewed here. Not given to over simplifying things, or magical thinking.

Shame on him and anyone else that has said that. Plez give me some examples.

That "all the same to me, might as well not vote" crap is often seen here. Because capitalism has too much influence in our system and if they just decline to participate in it, it'll change things. Yup.

LOL at linking, because it's fun to alert on those "call outs".

as you claim. You said that specific quote is "spewed" here regularly. I am curious why some here continue to push that false meme.

A number of people here state that both Parties are heavily influenced by corporate (Goldman-Sachs) money, but I don't think I've ever seen that quote that you are claiming. It isn't a call out to provide a link.

Lol. Same bullshit. I don't have anything but guffaws for anyone praising Palin as an honest person. (Which is why I'm not taking your bait and linking)
Plenty of folks here twist themselves into pretzels daily to discredit this- and future- Dem presidencies and you just gotta laugh. They obviously took a wrong turn while surfing the net.

I am guessing your total loyalty to the Pres blinds you to reality. 22% of American children live in total poverty and 45% of American children live in lower income homes. Sorry if I don't share your blind loyalty. Goldman-Sachs helped rip off American taxpayers for a trillion dollars and yet they get a seat at the head table. Holder kisses their hand while throwing medical marijuana dispensers in prison. No one says that the parties are the same. But lots of people say that Goldman-Sachs has lots of influence in both parties.

Others here can see that there is good and bad in most office holders, always has been. We have no fantasies about a savior - whether it be Warren or Obama. Life's a bit more complicated than that.

But I also see gray areas and areas where I completely disagree with his stand. Like fracking, which will probably poison our drinking water and I don't support it. The President and H. Clinton and the conservative wing of the Party think fracking is wonderful and it is the "bridge to our future energy needs."
But there are those that not only don't ever criticize ANY of his stands, but they disparage those that do, which sounds kinda "worshipy to me". Why disparage those that are being honest Democrats and stating their opinions when they happen to disagree with the President? Why insist that we all agree with every policy he has?

Concerned about drones and Middle East policy as you've maintained on the past. Perhaps it was just a cudgel, and we all know many here will miss having that ammo against Obama. If you can't acknowledge this historic acheivement without playing the "yes, but" game, you have to wonder what you're actually so concerned about. Others already do.

(was) regularly Spewed here." I challenged that because I know that your quote isn't posted here regularly or even occasionally, in fact I am going with never. You fail to show me proof and changed the subject to accusing me of being "blind", "If you can't see any shades of gray here, you're blind." I then pointed out that I see goodness in the President and as well bad policies and a lot of gray in between. Maybe you have a hard time seeing the gray areas, you seem to never disagree with his positions.

Once again I want to point out that a Democrat holds his/her elected representatives accountable. It's easy to praise them.
I might understand the resistance to be critical of the person one chooses to lead, but I do not understand the need to disparage those that do.

it's interesting to note who is ignoring the wonderful news. Same people who say withholding votes is a viable strategy, lol.

of adulation from someone means they are ignoring the news. By the way this subthread was started by someone that wasn't hear to acknowledge the good news like the OP did, but to needle the OP author, because the OP author has been critical of the President in some posts.

Why do some think it's so important that everyone love everything the President does, to the point of disparaging those that don't?

those that offer you a free lunch.

Good lord there's so much projection in all this "worship" crap, it's hilarious.

I roundly criticize you when you do something wrong, but I will also forcefully praise you when you do something right.

You most *certainly* did this one right, Sir!

We bring peace to the world whenever we get the chance!!

The best part is . . the Republicans have to just sit there and take it!
They can't do anything to cause the agreement to unravel.
It would be political suicide if they tried to do anything to keep this agreement from succeeding now.

SoS Kerry, the Iranians and all other parties in this complex and difficult negotiation. Diplomacy at its best.

In the "Parliament of Whores." That you called a "missed opportunity."

It's good that I don't believe the credibility of the charlatans. I took the President at his word, and he has delivered.

Well said.

I admire that you treat the self-righteous bullies appropriately.

I recall in about 2006-07 (in the wake of the Iraq war fiasco) hearing Mr. Obama's smooth dulcet tones on my radio, saying that his approach to international relations was to try to work with other nations around the world, through diplomacy, rather than going right to nuclear decimation. Imagine! This was who he was and what he stood for then. And who he continues to be.

I think we here all know - despite any disagreements we might have with him - his Presidency will stand out as one of the greatest in our times.

Definitely change I can believe in.

And of course the Republican right, along with Netanyahu, is acting like a frustrated 2-year old over it!

Thank you, Mr. President. I think you'll go down in history as one of the greats.

disagree with you.

How DARE we tell another country whether or not they can have nukes when we're the only ones who have ever used them?!
