WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama heralded a historic nuclear agreement with Iran Tuesday as an opportunity for the longtime foes to move in a "new direction," while sharply warning Congress that it would be irresponsible to block the accord.

"No deal means a greater chance of more war in the Middle East," Obama said in early morning remarks from the White House.

Obama, accompanied by Vice President Joe Biden, spoke shortly after negotiators in Vienna announced the landmark deal aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program for more than a decade in exchange for billions of dollars in international sanctions relief. The president said the agreement, hammered out through nearly two years of negotiations, would cut off all of Iran's pathways to a bomb and give the international community unprecedented access to the country's nuclear facilities.

"This deal is not built on trust," Obama said. "It is built on verification."

1. Folks should trust Obama. That trust has been built and verified. A wonderful accomplishment by

all the permanent member nations of the UN Security Council and Iran.

Screw the racist Republicans, who only matter now because they are electoral cheaters.

2. Excellent! This Can Make Israel Safer

Well done, President Obama. How refreshing to have an adult in charge here. The agreement with Iran will make Israel safer. This is a diplomatic move that shows a different kind of foreign policy that avoids war. This time Obama is really earning his Nobel Peace Prize.
We just don't need another war in the Middle East. Iran can be a stable trading partner and ally in the Middle East. It is wrong to
think that this deal will not be in Israel's best long term interests. Netanyahu is very mistaken here. He prefers hate and fear to
Peace, Trade and Diplomacy. Thankfully, the US can make an agreement that will help Israel in spite of Mr. Netanyahu.

3. Go ahead dare him to drop a veto.

This President is not to be played with.
