Maybe this will make all those people who think they can compromise with Obama think again. The White House announced on Saturday night that
the President will veto a bill currently making its way through Congress which would stop
Der Fuhrer from suspending sanctions against Iran without Congressional vote.
"The president has been clear that now is not the
time for Congress to pass additional legislation on Iran. If this bill
is sent to the president, he will veto it," said Bernadette Meehan, a
spokeswoman for the White House's National Security Council.
...
The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act would
require to submit to Congress the text of any agreement within five days
of concluding a final deal with Iran. The bill would also prohibit
Obama from suspending or waiving sanctions on Iran passed by Congress
for 60 days after a deal.
Meehan said United States "should give our negotiators the best chance of success, rather than complicating their efforts."
...
Republican Senator Bob Corker, one of the
bipartisan group of sponsors of the bill, said it was "disappointing
that the president feels he is the only one who speaks for the citizens
of our country."
The questions are whether the Democrats will also recognize Obama's arrogance and whether the Congress will stand up to him and override the veto. There is no compromising with this President - at least not if you're the US Congress or a putative US ally.
