Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I wish to begin by talking about two subjects. The first of those is the nuclear agreement that our Nation and five other nations are seeking to negotiate with Iran, and the second is I wish to do something we don't do often enough and thank some people, people who serve all of us, some folks in the Coast Guard. But I wish to start with the agreement that we and part of the five permanent members of the Security Council, plus one--Germany--are attempting to negotiate with the country of Iran. We are closing in, I hope, on a historic nuclear agreement with Iran. Today, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, China, France, and Germany are hard at work trying to hammer out a final nuclear deal with Iran that will hopefully put an end to that country's pursuit of nuclear weapons. We have a key role to play in the fate of this potential nuclear deal. If the P5+1 and Iran can forge a final deal, then Congress will have its chance to support or reject it by voting on a resolution that would prohibit lifting the sanctions against Iran. So it is my great hope that when Congress comes back from our Fourth of July recess--holiday recess--we will be returning to the news that the negotiators have succeeded in striking what they believe to be a fair deal. We will then begin our job of considering whether that deal represents the best path forward for our Nation's security and the security of other nations, including our allies.…”
