I bet you didnt feel so forgiving in this scenario, I can tell you I was livid in this case also.

Well I guess you can accuse the democrats of interfering with Obama's foreign policy too. Just this week 367 bipartisan House lawmakers sent a letter to Obama warning him not to make a deal with Iran without their approval and threatening to sabotage the deal, if he makes the deal without their approval and they don't like the deal.
Is there really a big difference between what they did and what the 47 Senators did? There really isn't. Sure you can argue that the 47 Senators sent the letter directly to Iran and that makes all the difference. But that is nonsense. Don't you think Iran reads the newspaper? Even if Republicans did not send that letter to Iran, Iran would still be aware that 367 congressmen sent a letter to Obama telling him they will sabotage the deal if they don't like it. Does the Republican letter to Iran really sabotage the deal any worse than the bipartisan letter to the President which 80% of congressmen signed? Do you view those 80% of congressmen as traitors for undermining the President?
