Lets hope it continues. And thanks for cspan for coming along. And just a few tips on how were going to handle this mornings meeting. It is being filmed live and when you ask a question, please state your name clearly so the world knows who you are and aunts and uncles can refer to the recording. The subject today i think is highly relevant. Iran sanctions and the nuclear deal. We heard a lot about the iran deal in the campaign, particularly from the president. But i think there is some confusion as to what actual policy is given that we have a nuclear deal with iran, which no one seems eager at this point in time to tear up. Even though the president says it is the worst deal ever negotiated. Secondly, we have a major fight with the Islamic State or isis which the president claims is one of our top priorities. In Foreign Policy. And yet ironically, one of the countries we will rely on to beat isis is iran. And iran has an election coming up. There is great pressure on capitol hill for

John quincy adams was the second adams to be elected to the white house. He was the second northerner to be elected to the white house. Was only one of two antislavery president s to be elected to the white house.

Republicans push to get even more conservative bills through and the rsc would be where a lot of those folks are. But all along we heard the senate has been the bottleneck in all of this. So whats the excuse going to be if legislation doesnt pass . I think you heard people say this is harry reids fault and i think youre going to hear that even more. Nothings changed.

Well thanks to both of you for your questions this week. Thanks for being on newsmakers. Thank you. Mr. President , the honeymoon is over. Co
