In all the years I’ve followed US politics I’ve never seen such blatant disrespect for the office of the President. The Republican Party is so deranged by their hatred of Obama — who was elected twice by the American people — that they’re actively working to damage the standing of the United States in the world. Anything goes as long as they can subvert everything Obama does. It’s sickening, and wrong, and is taking the country to a very bad place.

WASHINGTON — The White House delivered a fresh warning to the Senate late Saturday to stay out of negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program, asserting that pending legislation would likely have a “profoundly negative impact” on the ongoing talks.

President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Denis McDonough, told Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker in a letter that legislation sponsored by the Tennessee Republican would go far beyond ensuring a role for Congress in any deal with Iran.

“Instead, the legislation would potentially prevent any deal from succeeding by suggesting that Congress must vote to ‘approve’ any deal,” McDonough said. He criticized a provision that would eliminate Obama’s authority to lift some sanctions on Iran as part of any agreement.
