Obama: I just got off the phone with Rouhani.

Right-wing: HE'LL NEGOTIATE WITH IRAN BUT NOT THE HOUSE WHAAAARGARBLE

Me: Iran is more reasonable. The House GOP is the one threatening to blow up America right now.

1. true.....

2. I think PBO had a JFK "stare into the abyss" moment earlier this month....

Just as in the Cuban missile crisis, a face-saving walk back was found.

But, as I remember my history, neither JFK nor Khrushchev hung around long after that. Seems that staring into the abyss' educational power is limited to those at the very top.

4. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, WilliamPitt.

5. They have blown up America, more than once before.

One could only hope they were as reasonable as Rouhani.

6. that's just your typical rightwingnut false equivalence

that's lapped up voraciously by their ignorant minions.

When Iran makes threats that will result in anything remotely comparable to the harm to this country they are threatening, let us know.

[calimary]

7. Pretty pathetic, isn't it!

Just wrap yer brains around this one: we've finally reached the point in which the freakin' Iranians are more reasonable than our own GOP. Stunning. And rather embarrassing!

8. This IS "historic",

and I commend the Obama White House for seeking Peace in the region.
Thank gawd a Republican wasn't sitting in the Oval Office when this opportunity arose,
and thank gawd the Obama White House had the good judgement to seize this opportunity.
