This seems a little... petulant? Petty? Potentially illegal?

So not private correspondance. But I don't recall something like this before either. Worthy of some heavy reading. It's not a treaty... or it would have to be legislatively approved. Hm... I feel like I am missing something here. How is the White House trying to bill the agreement with Iran if it's not a full treaty? |

An Obama agreement is where they get to do whatever the hell they want to after the end of his term (see blank check below). A treaty sets forth reciprocal obligations between nations, not just between leaders (ratification by the Senate is like having them cosign the check). OICBW.

Another is Nancy Pelosi who, against requests of Bush 43's admin, met privately with Assad while the policy was to freeze him out.

Not sure why Obama is in such a rush to make a deal with Iran. Especially a giveaway deal.

The right wing has a strange obsession with Israel too.
