Onetime Obama Aide Einhorn: Look for BIG DEAL WITH IRAN AFTER NOV ELECTION

Geostrat-Direct (Rx Req):
President Barack Obama is expected to seal a U.S. reconciliation deal with Iran in the fall of 2014.
A former senior aide to Obama said the president could announce and sign a reconciliation deal with Teheran after elections for Congress in November 2014.Robert Einhorn, who advised Obama on Iran’s nuclear program,

envisioned a three-month window between November elections and the swearing in of the new Congress in late January 2015.

"On one hand, an agreement before elections isn’t in the interests of the White House," Einhorn, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, said. "He [Obama] doesn’t want Iran to be an issue during the elections." 
In an interview with Israel’s news website Ynet, Einhorn said Iran and the United States remain far apart in reaching a nuclear agreement. He said expectations that Iran would compromise on its nuclear program, particularly the Arak heavy water facility, failed to materialize.
"Obama wants results within a year from the beginning of talks," Einhorn said. "He wants results and he’s under a lot of pressure from Congress and Israel. The reality is that if it proves impossible to reach a good agreement within a year, then it won’t be possible to achieve one with more time."
He wants results …. as if this is under his control. Can you imagine what American negotiators feel when the Pres of the USA tell them I WANT A RESULT? ..’what can we do, offer, say…???’
