The talks have reached the deadline. But they didn't fail; we've simply entered a new phase of negotiation!

So now when you're three payments behind on you Lexus, you can just explain to the bank that you don't owe them anything...you've simply entered a new phase of payment!

Ingenious...

I see they've now extended talks 'til tomorrow.

The irony of the fact that tomorrow is April Fools Day is just too delicious; and I'm sure it's lost on Messers Obama and Kerry.

  It would be delicious, but they've already been fooled so often, totally lost on them.
  
  I'll give 100-1 odds (and I never bet) that the "talks" extend beyond tomorrow...unless the Iranians get exactly what they want. In which case, well, there won't be too many tomorrows to bet on, will there?

Kerry is making a fool out of us. Iran can stop making nuclear weapons anytime it wants; requiring nothing from us. They hold the cards to see what the USA is offering, and Kerry is making us look stupid with his "pretty please" negotiating. He should just get up and walk away. If he doesnt, the Iranians will just up the ante to see how much more the USA will give.

  Eleanor Roosevelt said that no one could make you feel bad except yourself. It is equally true that no one can make you feel like a fool except yourself.
  John Kerry can only make a fool of himself.

    Eleanor was wrong. Obama, Kerry and Clinton all make me feel bad.

    True , but he presents himself as the representative of the USA and the rest of the world sees him that way. It's just hard to maintain a feeling of being part of this country and at the same time having such idiocy being promoted as the voice of the usa

  Just so, John...they're not fools.

  Wish we had some of those not-fools on our team.

    we should walk out, clamp down with sanctions,
    wait a little while and see what they might offer. -- j

      Of course, John! But we have a president who seems to be very much on the side of the Muslims. Which isn't surprising, as he was raised as one of them

        now, the morning of the 3rd, we have Iran saying that
        BHO's understanding of the "agreement" is too
        optimistic, compared with theirs.
        
        and even the most optimistic view gives way too
        much away to them. -- j

  There's ONE person out there who agrees with you (non-sarc).
  
  Guess who?

  True. He doesn't. That's because most of the country doesn't have a clue as to what he's really trying to do. Destroy this nation,

It's akin to talking things over with the arsonist as he sets your neighbors house on fire, rather than bringing in the police and fire fighters.
And, by the way, it's not a Lexus but a 10 year old mini-van and it's paid for.

quantitative easing works like that too

  I'd like to see the reaction if they were forced to call it qualitative easing.

    (big grin) We've actually been experiencing "qualitative easing" in the political arena since the Fed creation and the income tax amendment - and I dare say my grandpappy would have argued that it's been going on for a helluva lot longer than that... LOL

      Indeed, qualitative easing began long before quantitative. In fact, one could say one led to the other, e.g., The Fed.
      
      My only disagreement: set the date back to at least the early 1800's. If Gallup existed then, Congressional approval rating would be about where it is now. Why do you think Congressman Davy Crockett headed for Texas?

    Qualitative? Whoa, SD: that's WAY to close to morality/ethics.

Well, it looks like John Kerry is going to give them one more day. Way to get tough, John! "I'm warning you, if you don't agree I'll have to warn you again tomorrow!"

This bimbo is the one clown who can make me long for the days of Hillary Clinton.

  I know there's a Monty Python/Spanish Inquisition quote that goes with this, and I cannot find it in the Teflon sieve I call my brain. Something about '....again, and we shall poke you with the soft cushions....."

BHO can just give a speech and everything will be OK. Unicorn farts, anyone?

  I sure hope it is. Because if Obama gets us into a real Middle East war, dollars to doughnuts it'll be on the bad guys' side.

It's dawned on me that Obama is giving the Iranians as much latitude as they want to make nukes because there's nothing he'd like more than to see Israel destroyed. It's his Muslim faith that tells him to do it.
