Well, it looks like most Americans are thinking about the future, and not just the about book signings. Obama, America is talking to you... Will you listen?

Most Americans don't trust that Iran will abide by an eventual agreement to curtail its nuclear program and not develop an atomic weapon, according to an NBC News poll released on Thursday.

More than half the respondents in the poll said that Iran's nuclear program represents a major threat to the United States.

The poll found that 68 percent of respondents believed that Iran was either not too likely or not at all likely to abide by a nuclear agreement, compared with 25 percent who said Iran was very likely or somewhat likely.

The poll, conducted by NBC News and SurveyMonkey, was conducted Monday through Wednesday, just days after diplomats working around the clock agreed on a framework for an eventual deal.

Six world powers negotiated with Iran on the framework. The details must still be worked out before a June 30 deadline.

Obama: Deal Cuts Off Every Path to Nuclear Weapon for Iran. The two sides have offered differing interpretations of the framework itself. But it generally calls for restrictions on the nuclear program and for international inspections, in exchange for relief on economic sanctions against Iran.

In the poll, 68 percent of respondents said it was either not too likely or not at all likely that Iran would follow the rules of a nuclear agreement, compared with 25 percent who said it was either very likely or somewhat likely.

Slightly more than half, 53 percent, said the Iranian nuclear program represents a major threat to the United States. That compared with 37 percent who said it was a minor threat, and 8 percent who said it was not a threat.

Negotiators from global powers arrive for nuclear talks at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne in Lausanne on April 2, 2015.

Republicans in Congress have been sharply critical of the deal. But the poll found that Americans, by a margin of 54 to 42 percent, trust President Barack Obama more than the Republicans to handle negotiations over the Iranian nuclear program.

I very seldom trust any agreement the U.S. enters into with any foreign country. It usually ends up not being in our best interests.

If we do nothing, what is the result? I don't believe Iran will discontinue its' program. What is left? Another war is not the answer. We can not maintain all these little police actions around the world. It seems better to me, to wait until the final agreement is reached before condemning it.

I sincerely hope another war will be political suicide for the representatives who v**e for it. I do not want to be the world's police. No more blood for profit.

I am beginning to wonder if our representatives possess one ounce of common sense or reading comprehension sk**ls. I would never agree to sign off on any agreement I had not read. I suppose the attentions span of our Congress on both sides are that of a gnat.

If the documents are not given to them to read..... there is a problem and it is not with Congress. It is lack of t***sparency from the Oval Office. Just like Obamacare, you will know what is in it when you are obligated to participate.

I think it is easier for our Congress to allow other people to do their thinking for them. It seems simple to me. Do not approve the agreement until you have a complete understanding of the pros and cons.

If the final agreement is not in our best interest, simply refuse to approve it.

And Obama will go around them, he has in the past. Remember, "I have a pen and a phone"? Did you listen to his state of the union address after his second e******n? If not, here is a link.... he makes it clear that he will go around any obstacle to get what he wants. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-prepared-to-avoid-congress-go-it-alone-on-carrying-out-modest-initiatives/2014/01/28/61b68280-8845-11e3-a5bd-844629433ba3_story.html

SheWolf-Congress is not directly involved because there does not appear to be any plan as of yet. The negotiations were to establish a framework for a plan . However, it seems like Kerry and Obama are embellishing the deal to get approval from the American people. The Ayatollah is telling us the what Obama is saying is not factual. Iran wants all sanctions immediately dropped when the deal is signed. Not good for America because once dropped it would take years to get them reinstated. It took a long time for Russia and China to agree with the sanctions in the first place. Iran is buying time and developing a nuclear device while we are begging for a deal which would be bad for us. We need to impose harsh sanctions on Iran if we can get the cooperation of their trading partners. Unilateral sanctions normally do not work well because they can be bypassed. Instead of talking to Iran we should be talking to every one of its neighbors to get them to cooperate with us in the event we have to bomb their sites out of existence. The mullahs understand one thing and that is force. Everything else is a shell game to them and Obama/Kerry are being played like Grand Ole Opry fiddles. Any agreement signed by Iran is not worth the paper it is printed on and they will c***t because it is their nature to do so. If they are allowed to continue enriching uranium in any capacity they will get the bomb. Obama and Kerry need to get out of the way and allow Israel to do what it must to protect itself. Israel needs our cooperation not threats. The games being played by Obama/Kerry will cost us dearly in the long run. It looks like several democrats are expressing concern about this potential deal . There may be enough v**es in both the House and Senate to override a p**********l veto on this one. I am encouraged to see democrats growing some backbone to ensure that any deal entered into is beneficial to this country as opposed to Iran getting the upper hand. From what we are hearing , Iran is ceding nothing and will back away if it does not get what it wants. Good Luck America !!!

I would not risk an agreement based upon the ravings of the Ayatollah. There is no deal at present. Considering the stance of the Ayatollah in the past, he must at least attempt to save face with his more radical followers.

I truly believe a war with Iran will only make the situation in the Middle East worse. We have allies working with us on this frame work. I see no reason not to progress with the talks. We can not continue to bomb and go to war with every country that disagrees with us. It solves nothing except to increase the problems.

If there is a war with Iran, it will be short and involve Israel and Iran. It will be over in a flash. Israel, according to my family that still lives there, will not involve the US because of the way Obama has turned against her. The trust and cooperation once shared between the US and Israel has been broken and will take many years to repair. So, if the deal goes through and Israel's intelligence says they are making a bomb... it will be like 1981 all over again.

I truly hope it does not come to war for anyone. However, if the U.S. reaches an agreement with Iran and Israel bombs them anyway, I can not see how our government could back Israel. It would be amount to saying our agreements are worthless without the support of Israel.

I would like to see a world devoid of bully tactics on our part. It is my understanding, I could be wrong, that Turkey would shoot down planes bombing Iran. Then we have a horrid war and to much death on all sides. I think it is time we tried other means to reach peaceful ends. I don't want to see children on both sides become victims in old men wars.

I pray that it does not come to bombing anyone.

One thing you may have missed, Israel is not looking to the US for support. Iran is not in the backyard of the USA, it will be years before they can build a sufficient system so their bombs can reach these shores. But, Iran is in the backyard of Israel and they do have reasons to fear. If I may; "The range of our missiles covers all of Israel today. That means the fall of the Z*****t regime, which will certainly come soon."- General Mohammad Ali Jafari, November 2014." He was referring to conventional weapons.... Imagine if they had a bomb that would turn Israel into a patch of glass. And do not think they would care about Palestians. In a letter to Iran asking for support against Israel, Hamas received the following reply "The Fars News Agency, the semi-official state news agency in Iran, was quick to boast about the letter that Palestinian resistance group Hamas wrote to Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, asking the Islamic Republic for support against attacks carried out by Israeli forces. Khalid al-Qoddoumi, Hamas’s representative in Iran, wrote in the letter, “Given the tragic situation in the Middle-East region, unfortunately at present the situation of Palestine is not under the focus of political circles and is no longer a priority for the region and the world’s media.” So, yes Iran will move against Israel unless she takes out their ability to prepare bombs, as they did in the past.

Turkey will go the direction the US tells them to. You see we have large investments in that country and for them to loose the revenue would render them bankrupt. But, again, I assure you that Israel is not stupid, she knows her enemies. And like in the past, if Israel need to end this, I will be so swift that planes will not have time to launch until the dust is settling.

Do not underestimate the resolve of the Hebrew Nation... They have gone it alone many times. Although it would be nice to have the backing of the USA, with Obama.... that is just not going to happen.

We already know that Iran will only stab the Western World in the back. Nothing new about what Iran is going to do and Israel already knows the t***h about it.

Obama being a Muslim, of course is going to make it appear that Iran is top shelf trustworthy. Another typical used care salesmen deal...I have this great clunker for sale....the radio works great, even though the car does not run. And the price tag is always paid by anyone other then the salemen.

You do not see even one person in office make mention of the natural resources Iran has for power now. Face it, they have oil coming out their ears for hundreds of years yet who in their right mind believes they need a nuke power plant for making only energy?
