A comment on the "historic" Iranian deal. Democrats support the deal despite Iran's continued support of terrorists in Syria and Hezbollah, etc. and aggression in other states like Saudi Arabia. Obama got no concessions Iran would cease any of this activity. Further, Obama got no concessions Iran would cease its internal and well documented human rights abuses.
A majority of Democrats oppose President Obama on the Trans Pacific Partnership with Asian nations due to the "likelihood" that US businesses will violate he human rights of workers in these Asian nations and violate the human rights, read union rights, of traditional US supporters of Democratic politicians, unions, Hollywood celebrities, academics who either do not believe in free trade or who seek lucrative government contracts to conduct research to prove the TPP would enrich US corporations at he expense of US and Asian human rights, read union rights.
This observation is based on meetings and rallies I attended in San Francisco and university communities where the academics, already overpaid by taxpayers in their states, seek additional money, from unions, to prove TPP would economically damage unions.
There are advantages to eliminating Iran's nuclear ambitions and effectively verifying it. This is done through strong diplomacy, strong oversight of negotiated agreements, and real economic and political consequences if the agreement is violated.
The timing of the nuclear agreement with Iran is also suspect coming in the final days of the Obama administration. It fits Mr. Obama's "peace" brand for his presidency and after-presidency speaking fees, political agenda, and other ambitions.
