Obama is a lucky man, a lucky man indeed.
He should buy ample powerball tickets

During a press conference with visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel earlier today, the president indicated a deal with Tehran is possible because “according to their Supreme Leader, it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon.”
OBAMA: The issues now are sufficiently narrowed and sufficiently clarified where we’re at a point where they need to make a decision. We are presenting to them in a unified fashion, the P5+1 supported by a coalition of countries around the world are presenting to them a deal that allows them to have peaceful nuclear power but gives us the absolute assurance that is verifiable that they are not pursuing a nuclear weapon.
And if in fact what they claim is true, which is they have no aspiration to get a nuclear weapon, that in fact, according to their Supreme Leader, it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon, if that is true, there should be the possibility of getting a deal. They should be able to get to yes. But we don’t know if that’s going to happen.

Iran's nuclear program comes up prior to every major US election, and has for the past 20+ years. It's used to galvanize support for/against both parties. BUt if it were a real issue, the time to act one way or the other was 20 years ago. Far too late to strike to prevent it now. All you can hope to do is negotiate it away.
As to what President Obama said, what a dumbass. Show me a religion which condones nuclear weapons before you say one in particular is against them. Isn't Christianity and Judaism against them as well? Yet that doesn't seem to have stopped Jews and Christians from developing nuclear weapons in the first place. So trying to assure people Muslims wouldn't do what we ourselves did doesn't comfort me in the least.
