How Obama won the Iran nuclear deal

Obama once again shows his mastery over Republican opponents

The Iran nuclear deal, and how Obama finally learned to win the summer

But after enduring several politically brutal summers in years past, Obama won this one.
And he did it by beating back a rare congressional speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, vocal and united opposition from Republicans, and a $20 million campaign to sink the deal.

So, how did Obama pull this off?

Partly because the public outrage never really materialized. But it was also because Democrats learned from past mistakes.

The White House had a war room, too, and a secret weapon: Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz. Moniz, a nuclear physicist, made several presentations to lawmakers over the summer. "Not only did he know the science," explain Carl Hulse and David M. Herszenhorn at The New York Times, "he could explain it clearly, persuasively, and without the condescension some heard in Secretary of State John Kerry's presentations."

Several Democrats have said they were also persuaded to back the deal after senior diplomats from the other five world powers — Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and China — spoke with a dozen or so lawmakers right before the August break, assuring them that nobody else was going to return to the negotiating table if this deal fell through. That sank the argument from opponents that a better deal was possible.

It just seems like that the left thinks that their guy is only doing good when he can overcome the democratic process. If I didn't know any better it would seem that these people secretly crave to push aside democracy in order to get what they want done.

The democratic process elected him President responsible for foreign policy

If Congress could have voted to overturn the deal, they would have

that vote has not been taken yet. congress will vote down the deal, then obama will veto that measure and 34 senators will prevent an override of the veto. So, effectively, 1/3 of the senate will be determining the fate of the mid east.

But, when this deal turns to shit, as it surely will, there will be no confusion as to who to blame.

Actually, it will be our President doing that not the Congress

What? I described the legislative process accurately. or are you putting the fate of the mid east solely on obozo the kenyan messiah?

Yes, in this case it is the role of the Constitutionally elected President

Negotiating treaties is the responsibility of the executive branch. Approving treaties is the responsibility of the legislative branch. Obozo and his clowns have tried to get around this by calling this deal something other than a treaty. But if it quacks like a duck---------------------------------------------

Obama won because Republicans failed to make their case

It is getting to be a habit
