(12.19.13)
2. Lame Duck
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (12.19.13)
It seems as if the support for "The One" is declining in the USA.
3. End of Democrats as YESMEN to Obama
(12.19.13)
Democrats need to turn on Obama else stay out for 20 years
4. 2014/2016 electoral politics
Av   (12.19.13)
Menendez and Schumer giving cover to Corey Booker of NJ who must defend his seat in November. Both also identified with Hillary who wouldn't mind Democrats looking tough leading into 2016.
5. 4. 2014/2016 electoral politics
Norbus ,   JERUSALEM   (12.19.13)
Fair enough, but as it happens, the sanctions might achieve what diplomacy cannot. Also, Obama will be useless in Nov 14 so some others have to make running to get both houses to a consensus
6. #2 obummer has always been lame schmuck!
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (12.19.13)
7. shia terror regime will never give up
CJK   (12.19.13)
the shia terror regime will never give up its nuclear weapons program voluntarily. obama has been conducting foreign policy through slogans, wishful thinking and the so-called "outreach" to the muslim world. all that obama has achieved is create chaos and put the middle east in flames. he has enraged allies, including most of the muslim world, while allowing enemies free hand.
8. Schummer dual citizen puts israel 1st.
(12.19.13)
No doubt as to his loyalties.
9. We are talking about three to four senators, max.
Persian CAT   (12.19.13)
These senators are well known for representing Israel in the congress. They are an absolute minority and there is no sign the congress is going to approve their treacherous efforts.
10. #9
Simon King ,   Sacramento, USA   (12.19.13)
Actually were talking about twenty-six senators currently. Just so you know that is about an eighth of the Senate.
11. no. 8. Amazing, 26 senators are dual citizens?
(12.19.13)
12. Sanctions are going to increase
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.20.13)
Odumba threatens to veto the sanctions - just as he has threatened every other time the House and Senate pass them. They have been getting on average OVER 90% of the House and Senate to agree to those sanctions. Odumba knows that they will over-ride his veto. Now is the time to really increase those sanctions.
13. Meaningless gesture
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (12.20.13)
Right now, the US Congress is out of session until mid January, then they still have to deal with budget issues, so there is ZERO chance this will ever reach a vote in the senate. Note also that most senators are well aware that Americans will severely punish any congress critter that starts war with Iran.
14. Obama non-citizen puts islamel 1st.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.20.13)
15. Simon King #9 Doesn't Care About Facts

Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (12.20.13)
"My good friends, this is the second time there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Now I recommend you go home, and sleep quietly in your beds." - Arthur Neville Chamberlain
19. To: No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.20.13)
We realize that you are intellectually challenged. But the last I checked, 13 senators from the Republican Party and 13 senators from the Democratic Party constitute 26 senators in total. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. More senators to come aboard; stay tuned.
20. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.20.13)
Charles Schumer is not a dual citizen. Neither are the other twenty-five senators who signed the letter. If it makes you feel any better, however, Senator Levin -- who is one of Obama's strongest supporters -- is a Jew. By birth, at any rate.
