Sorry, I am not sorry I have a hard time trusting this current administration at this point (which is another reason why I won't be voting for hillary... it would be nice to actually trust our leaders for once). Especially from a libtard source like vox. If you are allowed to dimiss any source you deem conservative, i think its fair for anyone else do the same with liberal sources. Unlike you, I am not this administration's personal cheerleader. I haven't completely dissed or supported this deal. This is something that time will only tell (/con_alma) if it was a good deal or not. From what I have read from both sides of the news, my guess it is not a good deal and Obama gets bitch slapped in foreign affairs again. Anyway, please don't let us get in the way of your high horse. We wouldn't want to stop your 24/7 job of defending any and all liberal policy.
If I am smug because I cannot stand the amount of stupidity surrounding the opposition of the deal, then so be it.
The problem is exactly what you said, people don't understand it or get it. So, they say the deal is bad because Obama is bad. The details do not matter, which is insane.
Here is Brent Scrowcroft (not a liberal.....) saying support the damn deal.

Here is the thing people just cannot seem to understand.....
Let us be clear: There is no credible alternative were Congress to prevent U.S. participation in the nuclear deal. If we walk away, we walk away alone. The world’s leading powers worked together effectively because of U.S. leadership. To turn our back on this accomplishment would be an abdication of the United States’ unique role and responsibility, incurring justified dismay among our allies and friends. We would lose all leverage over Iran’s nuclear activities. The international sanctions regime would dissolve. And no member of Congress should be under the illusion that another U.S. invasion of the Middle East would be helpful.
We walk away, there is NO BETTER DEAL.
All the opposition to the deal is false, wrong, stupid, misinformed and extremely naive.
