Obama Blasts GOP Critics of Iran Nuclear Deal




___________________



Obama Blasts GOP Critics of Iran Nuclear Deal
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia—President Barack Obama excoriated Republican critics of the nuclear agreement with Iran—particularly the GOP presidential candidates—saying they’re playing “fast and loose” with the facts to scuttle the accord and making a mockery of the American political process.



My siblings are here, aunts, uncles. And so, tonight, I welcome all of them to a somewhat unusual Obama family reunion. I suspect that some of my critics back home are suggesting that I’m back here to look for my birth certificate. That is not the case. - President Barack Obama in Kenya

Iran Is Mad At Obama

Sigh, another mass shooting.






Louisiana gunman was a ‘drifter’ and self-described taxpayer watchdog who tried and failed to get rich quick
Police have identified the gunman who killed two women and wounded seven other people at a Louisiana movie theater before fatally shooting himself.



We're using science to reduce car deaths to historic lows. Congress won't even let us study how to reduce gun deaths. - LOLGOP

Republican Shenanigans





The State Of The Other 15 GOP Candidates
They have been holding mock debates, hunkering down with advisers and finessing policy answers. But the most pressing concern for many Republican presidential contenders as they prepare for the first debate of the 2016 primary season is one man: Donald Trump.






"A major Iowa newspaper published an op-ed against Trump calling him a 'self-absorbed, wholly unqualified feckless blowhard.' Or as Trump put it, 'You forgot very rich . . . I'm a very rich, self-absorbed, wholly unqualified feckless blowhard. Very, very rich.'" –Jimmy Fallon










Why, Of Course The Louisiana Gunman Was A Right Winger And Not A Libturd!
The gunman who killed two moviegoers and wounded nine others had a prolific online commenting history that revealed a fascination with censorship, Iran, and right-wing politics.













"Ohio Governor John Kasich became the 16th Republican to announce that he is running for president. During his speech he referred to Jesus Christ, which is ironic because so did Americans when they heard another Republican was running for president." –Jimmy Fallon









Senate GOP Attempts End Around Play To Repeal OBAMACARE!
Senate Republicans will finally take a shot at their great white whale, but their first vote to repeal Obamacare since taking over the Senate majority in January will come as an amendment to a highway bill and be held on a Sunday in late July. It's not exactly the headline-making confrontation with the President over his signature legislation that conservatives have been hankering for.
