whole world ! SACK HIM NOW ! TRY HIM NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. A royal throne for Obama
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (12.20.13)
The saga of America under Obama has run into the realm of fantasy. What amounts to a malignant revolution has in fact taken place, and the only way to reverse it is for America to take to the street and rid itself of Obama, Soros, Wright, Reid Polosi and a host of those now in effect Damning America
5. He could veto but it would still pass
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.20.13)
He has made the exact same threat every time the House and Senate have passed sanctions. None have been passed without at least 90% of the Representatives and Senators voting in favor of it. Far more than is required to over-ride any veto.
6. the pyromaniacs are voting for war
CJK   (12.20.13)
the pyromaniacs in the white house are voting for war. there is no doubt that the shia terror regime will not surrender its nuclear weapons program. there is also no doubt that several countries in the middle east will not tolerate a nuclear iran. there is no doubt that the longer the so-called negotiations are dragged out, the bloodier the war will be, and the greater the loss of american prestige and influence in the region and beyond.
7. OBAMA PREFERS CHIMERAS TO REALITIES
stude ham   (12.20.13)
it's like the kind of thing that separates realpolitiks from reality. the iranians are as desirous of pursuing nuclear weapons as Obama is desirous of implementing Obamacare. do not forget chamberlain and his 1938 peace ploy. it's the same propaganda here.
8. Worthless gesture
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (12.20.13)
The basic reality is, there is NOTHING the congress critters can do that will make any difference. (1) the US has no direct trade with Iran so there is nothing the US can directly do to Iran. (2) Any further third-party sanctions will be ignored by the rest of the world and US businesses will be severely punished if the US tries to enforce the third-party sanctions. (3) The existing sanctions will fall apart within the next few months no matter what the US does. The bottom line the rest of the world is tired of the US throwing its weight around. In fact, China is quietly using the US actions to get Chinese-friendly changes to the global economic infrastructure to increase China's power at the expense of the US power.
9. Impeach Obama the retard for treason.
D Boy ,   USA   (12.20.13)
10. Obama non-citizen and Islam firster.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.20.13)
11. #8-always shilling for the jihadis.
Stephen in New York   (12.20.13)
Consistently working against Western interests.
12. #8 spyguy
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (12.20.13)
Do you think, Iran should be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons - yes or no?
13. Obama's gang do not hesitate to murder
President ,   Ronald Reagan   (12.20.13)
His three boyfriends from Chicago and on 11th December, the woman in Hawai who certified his forged birth certificate was eliminated in a Cessna plane crash over water. All other passengers survived !!"!!!!!!
14. Hussein cursed in eternity!
Mira ,   Vienna   (12.20.13)
He is the most dangerous man in power at the moment!
15. If real Americans don't wake up now, they'll remain in
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.20.13)
slumber for many years to come. "Doomsday Preppers" suddenly seem less cuckoo.. :-) !
16. 14. Hussein cursed in eternity!
Tartoufe ,   Marseille   (12.20.13)
You said it and sadly you are right. Obama is the most dangerous man in power at the moment! George Soros, Oprah Humphrey, Jeremiah Wright and all puppeteers with their hands up his arse to effect a new world order along the lines of Sodom & Gomorrah
17. As he should
Kane West   (12.20.13)
This is a deliberate attempt to sabotage those nuclear talks in Israel's favour by AIPAC. It is about time Jewish influence reflected the numbers of jews in America and not their control of the money markets
18. #12 Yes
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (12.20.13)
Iran is repeatedly threatened militarily by a nuclear power in the Middle East, with evidence it has sponsored acts of terrorism on it's soil. Iran has the right to defend itself by all means that it deems necessary
19. There will be no new sanctions bill
Harri ,   EU   (12.20.13)
Most of the senators are not stupid, so there will be no new sanctions bill, because it would ruin the negotiations. There is always elections looming and some of the senators are possibly doing some public tricks for AIPAC.
20. #19 Harri
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (12.20.13)
The negotiations are already ruined. That's only facade to save the faces of Barack "The One" Obama and his cronies.
21. White House can't if 2/3
Bob   (12.20.13)
If more than 2/3 pass it, White House can't do anything.
22. #21 Bob - absolutely
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.20.13)
Each of the previous sanctions (all which Odumba threatened to veto as well) passed by over 90% margins. Bet this one too will get that much
