Yes You Did! Congratulations, Nancie. Thrilled that enough Democrats stand with POTUS for peace. Now let’s keep going until there are 41 to filibuster the GOP treachery!
Blowing kisses in the direction of Sen. Barbara Mikulski D/MD: Never too late to do the Right Thing! Thank you Nerdy Wonka for this glorious uplifting news. A long hard road but our might POTUS never ever lets that impede him one centimeter in his movement toward doing what is good for our nation and our world.
Thank you, 57andfemale. I have never ever been first! I mean, FURST! Easy street with just one perfect glorious tweet to take in on the way through the door….
Bwahaha!! just like wily coyote, the GOP and its minions/allies keep coming up with ways to obstruct and sabotage OUR roadrunner president, only to have their plans blow up in their faces. HA HA HA! Thank you TODers, this post has already made my day.
Saw this news flash on the headlines on “Fox” while at the gym and started clapping-much to everyone’s annoyance. Now on to 41 Dems so this won’t even get to a veto. Hooray for the Iran deal! Hooray for President Obama, SOS Kerry and Secretary Muniz! Hooray for the US! Hooray for Nerdy and Chips! And a big BOO to Netanyahu and Schumer!
I SENT HIS SPEECH TO MY RIGHT WING FB…I IMAGINE THEY HAVE ALL BROKEN OUT WITH A BIG RASH BY NOW! SO GLAD TO BE LEAVING TOWN …I DESPERATELY NEED A BREAK FROM STUPID PEOPLE!
not sure but Obama might be setting some sort of record for predictions of failure proven wrong https://t.co/5ozrCi8Wov— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) September 2, 2025
I ALWAYS LEAVE A BIG TIP…PEOPLE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOO SELFISH…THEY SIT AND STUFF THEMSELVES AND LEAVE SOME POOR SOUL A BUCK OR TWO…I KNOW MY PRESIDENT WILL NOT DO THAT! AM HOPING TO GET LOTS OF PIX TODAY TO SHARE ON THE SUFFERNG OF THOSE FACING CLIMATE CHANGE…THE AIR IS BAD HERE TOO TODAY…JUST A SHORT TIME OUTSIDE AND ME EYES BURN!…REPUGNANT FLATULANCE WILL GET WORSE TODAY OVER THE IRAN DEAL…THE AIR WILL THEREFORE GET WORSE…STAYING IN! YOU ARE LOVED PBO…TAKE LOTS OF PIX!!!!
I tweeted the same thing to her, Bobfr! And lumped the entire GOP into this monstrous creation. No one in GOP EVER spoke as the lies, heated rhetoric and disrespect took over like a wildfire. They are ALL complicit.
THIS!!!! I will never forget the crowd standing in line to enter a Palin Rally in Ohio. The image of this man holding a toy monkey is seared into my brain for some reason. At that moment, I knew things were out of control.
Thank you meta for taking the lead at TOD in recognizing the essential contributions of VP Biden, Sec Kerry, Sec Moniz, Leader Reid & Leader Pelosi to the Iran Deal. I’ve added mine in addition to RT’ing yours and also urge everyone at TOD with a Twitter account to offer their gratitude, as well.
TY @VP @JohnKerry @ErnestMoniz @SenatorReid @NancyPelosi for supporting @POTUS & @TheIranDeal - Reasoned Peace instead of #PerpetualWar.
“Barack Obama ran for president, in part, to change the politics of national security; to give Democrats the confidence to do what they believed was right. As he said in Iowa in late 2007, “I don’t want to see more American lives put at risk because no one had the judgment or the courage to stand up against a misguided war before we sent our troops into fight.”
Now, as Obama’s presidency enters its twilight, it is clear that he has succeeded. Republicans may be as hawkish as ever. But Democrats no longer feel the need to keep pace. They no longer worry as much that by supporting diplomacy, they look weak or soft.
On national security, Obama has changed the terms of debate. And there is nothing Benjamin Netanyahu or AIPAC can do about it.”
Why Obama defeated AIPAC on Iran http://t.co/XJJn8oeX0E
The Iran deal is unusual in that members of one party — the GOP — are refusing to show that deference. In fact, opposing the president on Iran has become a way for Republicans to rally their political base. But that merely brings us to reason number two that the deal is almost certain to pass: The more partisan the opposition to it becomes, the more Democrats rally behind Obama in response.
This is a huge problem for AIPAC. For years, the organization has worked to ensure that both Democrats and Republicans provide the Israeli government unquestioning support. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, by embracing Mitt Romney in 2012, colluding with Republicans to organize a speech to Congress behind Obama’s back this spring and making Ron Dermer, a former GOP operative, his top representative in Washington, has made AIPAC’s work harder.
others have left The Democratic Party because of Barack Obama….should read others have left the Democratic Party because they could not stand being led by a Black Man..
Great news. Hard fought victory for PBO and his team, especially Sec. Kerry. Hopefully the remaining undecided Dem Senators are merely jockeying to see who will be the 41st vote. From Bibi’s outrageously disrespectful actions and words, to the letter to Iran’s mullahs signed by 47 traitorous GOP Senators to the cowardly actions of Dem party “leaders” Schumer and Wasserman, I never waivered in by confidence that PBO would win in the end. History is kind to great Presidents and I see PBO being remembered as a political Michael Jordan. The consummate “winner”. Someone who changed the game and to whom all great contemporary players are compared (with none measuring up). PBO has set the new standard, and all presidents that follow him have to contend with a mighty long shadow.
Yes, Eric, and that is why I know that PBO will do everything in his power to ensure that he has a successor who will forward his achievements. He hasn’t worked this hard and this brilliantly to throw pearls before swine.

I shouted in joy when I saw the news. Now I hope we can get more votes, so the naysayers see just how WRONG they are. :D

Excellent Cartoon.

Great tweets meta. Yes, PBO had a great team from beginning to end supporting his efforts. Job Well Done All Around <3
Yup. It was a great team work all around. #competence
Saw this news flash on the headlines on “Fox” while at the gym and started clapping-much to everyone’s annoyance. Now on to 41 Dems so this won’t even get to a veto. Hooray for the Iran deal! Hooray for President Obama, SOS Kerry and Secretary Muniz! Hooray for the US! Hooray for Nerdy and Chips! And a big BOO to Netanyahu and Schumer!
Hear hear!!
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Given that you had your own party’s future senate leader and your own party’s national committee chair dead set against this, this is a BFD.
and what does that say for their leadership???
We are going to see what we can do to scuttle those two propositions.
Best Kerry speech ever! Forever grateful to this man for his tireless efforts supporting PBO’s initiative.h
I SENT HIS SPEECH TO MY RIGHT WING FB…I IMAGINE THEY HAVE ALL BROKEN OUT WITH A BIG RASH BY NOW! SO GLAD TO BE LEAVING TOWN …I DESPERATELY NEED A BREAK FROM STUPID PEOPLE!
Breajing : Judge refuses to dismiss charges against Baltimore police.

No one want Iran to get a nuclear weapon. I rather we try peaceful means first, instead of war.

TYVM and I agree. Many, many thanks surely deserved!
Thanks to both of you!!
Bwhahahahahahaha!!!!
When you come at the King…
A couple hours after Senator Mikulski announced her support ….
:)
No way Pres Rouhani would be this assertive if he didn’t now know that President Obama has beaten the crazies in Congress & AIPAC …
YUP!

Talking selfie with a gun, that makes no sense at all.

Excellent comment, Eric!
Wow. Very well said.
