yes, he is. it's good to see him make Clinton either renounce past views and actions or help her clarify her position better to the liberal base she is supposed to be going after. she is getting stronger because she has strong competition.

The government has admitted clearing the streets of homeless people during previous high-profile events. During the January visit by Pope Francis to the Philippines, the government rounded up dozens of homeless families and brought them to a resort in the tourist area of Batangas, south of Manila, until after the papal visit, a senior government official said during a Senate hearing on the issue.

Mr. Rouhani is insisting that the nuclear deal signed in July not only will create the basis for an end to Iran’s prolonged economic isolation, but could be the start of new relations with the United States under certain conditions. Yet even his cautious statement of optimism has provoked a stormy reaction.
The tensions, which political analysts foresee lasting into next year at least, are in some ways an expected outcome of the nuclear agreement, which rolls back Iran’s atomic program in exchange for a broad lifting of sanctions. Many hard-liners opposed the accord as a submission to foreign powers, especially the United States. With the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, endorsing the agreement, they turned their criticism directly on Mr. Rouhani and his aides.
The losing side’s reaction has been harsh, as seen in a series of arrests of Iranian journalists and at least one Iranian-American accused of collaborating with Western powers or worse. Even some prominent conservatives who mistrust the United States but see practical benefits in having a better relationship with it have been criticized.
The reaction has been stoked in some ways by Ayatollah Khamenei, who while endorsing the accord has also warned of what he calls an American desire to infiltrate Iran’s culture, economics and politics.

The Friday Prayer leader in Tehran, Kazem Sedighi, criticized government officials for their failure to create a “resistance economy” in Iran and end the country’s “dependence on foreigners.”
Mr. Sedighi also accused Mr. Rouhani of inappropriate friendliness to foreigners. “He uses a different tone when he wants to attack people on our side, believers and those who serve the people,” Mr. Sedighi said. “We also think that this kind of language does not befit a president.”
