Obama Fighting for a Veto, His Loss is 'Already Clear'

US President Barack Obama has been trying to muster support for his Iran nuclear deal in Congress ahead of a vote at the end of the 60-day Congressional review period, in desperate attempts to prevent a 2/3 majority able to overrule his veto.
In a recent conference call from the White House, Obama asked his supporters to help him establish political support for the deal as widely as possible, and not just in Washington.
"You need to work better. The group supporting the nuclear deal needs to make its voice heard in Congress, to deal with the opponents to the deal," Obama said.
He claimed that "opponents of the deal are flooding Congress, the voice of the other side also needs to be heard. This is a good deal that we need to be proud of."
Delegitimizing his opponents, Obama said that most opponents of the deal are "people who would oppose any type of deal with Iran, even if it was the best." He went on to sound his familiar claim that the alternative to the deal is war with Iran.
Ironically, Navy Adm. John Richardson, the nominee to be the next Chief of Naval Operations, told the US Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday that aside from the current deal, there are "other options besides going to war," thereby debunking Obama's claim and echoing similar statements by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey from Wednesday.
