The subject today i think is highly relevant. Iran sanctions and the nuclear deal. We heard a lot about the iran deal in the campaign, particularly from the president. But i think there is some confusion as to what actual policy is given that we have a nuclear deal with iran, which no one seems eager at this point in time to tear up. Even though the president says it is the worst deal ever negotiated. Secondly, we have a major fight with the Islamic State or isis which the president claims is one of our top priorities. In Foreign Policy. And yet ironically, one of the countries we will rely on to beat isis is iran. And iran has an election coming up. There is great pressure on capitol hill for

Remarkable friendship between the first lady and a reporter. It was also a time when i began to appreciate just how much she meant to the man who became the president of the united dates, not just as his wife, but as his best political advisor, as jim baker and others have pointed out. As we all saw in those photographs and videos, she could be the adoring wife in public, but behind the scenes was a politically astute analyst and the keeper of the flame.
