(Bloomberg) -- Republican Senator Mark Kirk said he’ll seek to force a symbolic vote on increased U.S. sanctions against Iran during debate this week on the federal budget.

“I have an amendment coming up that basically recommends a new round of sanctions,” said Kirk of Illinois.

Kirk said a Senate vote this week wouldn’t be premature because the administration’s March 24 deadline for an agreement with Iran over its nuclear program has passed. The State Department has said its goal is to reach the framework for a deal by the end of March.

President Barack Obama has urged lawmakers to be patient as negotiators try to reach an agreement and to hold off on taking other actions, including further sanctions, unless the talks fail.

“We are watching kind of a version of the ayatollah stole my homework,” Kirk said.

1. Their hatred for a black man is simply unbelievable. Can't even wait for him to finish talks

with other foreign leaders. The GOP is the political branch of the KKK.

2. Question:

Is it their hate toward Obama or anything that might promote peace?
