Turning to the obama administrations controversial nuclear deal with iran. On saturday irans foreign minister said his country will be able to go full speed ahead with its Nuclear Program if the west backs out of the deal. Chuck todd is moderator of meet the press and joins us this morning. Good morning. The comments are going to make the hard liners in iran happy happy. Congress probably not so much. Whats the reaction and how will this play out on capitol hill once lawmakers return from recess . A comment like that is also allows for an i told you so for the Benjamin Netanyahus of the world and people who believe doing any deal with iran was a mistake. Any deal that leaves them with a Nuclear Infrastructure is a mistake. Him threatening that means they always wanted to get a bomb. Its part of the conversation ill have with the israeli Prime Minister. I think obama will have a majority in congress who oppose him. The thing is is it a super majority . Can it undermine the ability for the u. S. To implement the deal . President obamas challenge, as it has been for the last year on iran, is to delay democratic opposition. Go to democrats who want to be against the deal and say, give me time to at least start the implementation to see how it goes. I think thats been a successful political game plan so far, and its probably the one the white house will pursue. Is part of this happening on the part of the president , as a desire to leave a Lasting Legacy in terms of Foreign Policy if he enters the homestretch of his last term . It could be a legacy when you look at iran. I can tell you what the president views, candidate obama wanted conversations with rogue nations. He can say, ive opened a dialogue with iran with cubea, myanmar or burma. I think the president deals this somewhat as a legacy issue, but whether its successful you know were not going to know for a decade whether this is a good legacy or a bad legacy.
