\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Art in Hartford, Connecticut, as we head back to the phones. Thank you for waiting, Art. Great to have you on the show.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Look, I\u2019m kind of confused about the whole Iran deal. I mean, the Constitution says Congress is supposed approve treaties.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And that\u2019s a deal between two countries, which this is.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: So I was thinking now, why would the Republicans want to reverse the burden, why doesn\u2019t Obama need to get a 66th vote? I think they really don\u2019t want the decision on this. I think that they\u2019re afraid that if the treaty gets turned down by the Senate, then if we do have to bomb (unintelligible) Iraq or any of those places (unintelligible) Obama will turn around and say this is the fault of the Senate that we\u2019re doing this. And I think they\u2019re afraid of that responsibility, so if they figure this way, if the deal goes bad, they can just say, “You know, it\u2019s Obama\u2019s deal, it\u2019s his fault.” So they\u2019re more concerned about the politics than they are about the principle of stopping Iran from getting a bomb. They don\u2019t care about it. You know, they don\u2019t care about our dead soldiers.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think you\u2019re overthinking it. I don\u2019t think the Republicans are thinking down the road at all. I think they\u2019re thinking no further than their nose, and it is we just don\u2019t dare publicly criticize or oppose our president. Obama\u2019s loved and adored. He\u2019s African-American. There\u2019s nothing in it for us. So they go through the motions with the Corker Bill of making their supporters think that they oppose it and are fighting it, when they\u2019re not. The Corker Bill actually put the onus on the Senate to stop it, which it was never gonna do, rather than putting the onus on the president to make it happen. They just don\u2019t want any part of being seen as opposing Obama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
