Are Senate Republicans really the bad guys in Iran Deal fiasco?

Legal Insurrection  . . . "With the Iran deal, Obama appears to be taking that monopoly one step further. I am no expert on the historical use of the executive agreement instead of the treaty power, but has there ever before been a president so determined to defy the will of the majority of Congress, including not just the opposition party but significant numbers in his own party, in order to conclude a precedent-setting and conciliatory arms agreement with an enemy of 35-years duration?"

Obama Praises Move To Recognize Eid As An Official Holiday… 
"Keep in mind, he said this just after a Muslim killed four U.S. Marines and a sailor on American soil.
WASHINGTON:  President Barack Obama on Thursday wished Muslims in America and around the world “Eid Mubarak!” or a blessed Eid, praising efforts to recognize the end of Ramadan as a holiday.
“The holiday is a reminder to every American of the importance of respecting those of all faiths and beliefs,” he said in a statement that also hailed New York City’s decision to add Eid to the official school calendar.
That, he said, was “an acknowledgement of the great diversity and inclusiveness that adds to the richness of our nation.”
Mayor Bill de Blasio in March made New York the first major city in America to mark the end of Ramadan and the end of the pilgrimage to Mecca as a school holiday.
