You make no sense. First, you say you want what's best for America, then say if libs are in power, you don't want them to fail. Those don't go together. Liberalism makes America weaker, not stronger.

In the situation I referenced, those Republicans really need to get past their hatred for Obama and work with the President-- especially when it comes to foreign affairs. They were WAY out of line for doing what they did. So dog gone DISRESPECTFUL!

It's impossible for you to see anything the Republicans do as anything but racist or hateful towards obama.
Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the US Constitution states the President may only make a treaty after consulting Congress and receiving the consent of a supermajority.
Your sweetheart wants to do his usual thing and try to cut Congress out of their Constitution power and duty. He's trying to claim he can use the sole-executive agreement to do so. Regardless, Congress has the right to modify or repeal.
These Republicans are simply confirming the Iranian's fears, that any SOE obama tries to make with them could possibly be repealed or modified by Congress or the next President.
So instead of bashing the eeeeeeevil Republicans for their racist hatred, you should ask why obama doesn't just follow the Constitution, consult Congress and seek their approval to make sure this Treaty is what's best for the US, not just something to make obama look good.
BTW, you claim to want what's best for the US. obama cutting Congress out of its treaty powers and duties is NOT what is best for the US.
