Today's Q&A became tense for a few minutes after CBS' Chief White House correspondent Major Garrett asked his questions after a particularly pointed statement insinuating that President Obama was "content to abandon" American prisoners held by Iran while the President "celebrates" the Iran deal. Garrett also stated that President Obama left the joint chiefs of staff "hanging out to dry" regarding arms trading in the Iran deal.
President Obama called out Garretts' framing of the issue on each point, saying, "You should know better than that". The President then went on to address why the prisoners weren't linked to the negotiations and the relevant parts of the arms deal in regards to the broader comprehensive nuclear agreement.
From today's reactions and commentaries, it appears that most of the news media, many citizens and most politicians are against this deal so far. I'll be watching closely as further details of the agreement come out and opinions gel and I'll be paying particular attention to democratic rationale for it's position on the agreement. Video below.
Garrett clarified his position back at his home turf at CBS News.
