A MAN TO WATCH – AT 10:56 A.M. ET:  When the new Congress is sworn in this week, Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee will become chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.  Thus, a man to watch.  He's 's the one we look to to take on Obama's reckless foreign policy.  From The Hill:   

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) signaled Sunday that lawmakers could increase sanctions against Iran if nuclear negotiations do not yield an agreement.

Yeah, but what if they yield a bad agreement?

Corker, who will become the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman in the next Congress, said on "Fox News Sunday" that there was "no question" tha lawmakers would increase sanctions against Iran.

"There's no question," Corker said. "If the nuke deal falls apart, then there will be more sanctions."

Republicans have signaled that they will take up a new Iran sanctions bill in January. Many Democrats, including the Obama administration, are opposed to new sanctions as the negotiations with Iran have continued.

Corker said that the bill would move "regular order" and not immediately.

COMMENT:  I'm not so sure I know what to make of this.  The objective is to prevent the appeasers in the Obama administration from making a bad deal with Iran. 

Corker is a good guy.  I just hope he doesn't get "internationalized," as do so many chairmen of the Foreign Relations Committee.  Democrat Bob Menendez, the former chairman, who'll now be ranking member, was actually tough on Obama's foreign policy, especially in the Mideast and in Cuba.  We'll be sizing up Corker in the weeks ahead.
