Maybe this deal isn't perfect, but I want to know what alternatives Obama's critics are offering. Tell me please!
justNancy the opposing party has no alternatives to Obama's + the P5+1 nuclear deal with Iran. Do you not remember senator McCain singing "Bomb bomb bomb Iran when he was running for the Presidency in 2008?
Look at how the opposing party tried to kill Obamacare 60 times before the Supreme Court ruled on it again last month. They have no plans besides Mitch McConell's plan to make Obama a "One term President" which he failed miserably at.
As for Iran they are expected to start pumping between 2-3 Million barrels of Oil a day and they will flood the market later this year if the deal passes Congress.
It amazes me how the right wing won't give this deal a chance without even reading it.

No one's gas prices jumped a dollar overnight.

And gas is about to go down. Why that makes you mad is beyond me, but that's your problem.

They must have driven to another state overnight.

If gas prices had jumped a dollar overnight anywhere in the US, it would be a news item.

The price in Dallas went down a dime yesterday in a number of places.

No doubt. Anyone making that claim is a liar. It never happened.

They WANT it to happen for some reason though.

I don't know why news of impending cheap gas infuriates right wingers.

I don't know why the left can't stand up straight without heavy reliance on government.
