So later he can say, he tried but ‘they’ stopped me.

Ahhhh, but the strawberries, THAT'S where I had them.

OBAMA TURNS TO CONGRESS

[thouworm]

“So later he can say, he tried but ‘they’ stopped me.”

Definitely that-—Obama just dumped the 9% poll number in favor of striking Syria in Congress’ lap. BUT... the Obama regime always! aims to kill several birds with one stone.

Saying what I truly hope happens to those two maggots would mean chains, which should give a reasonably accurate hint as to what I hope happens to those two execrable maggots.

Parenthetically, if golf weren't such an amazing sport, its appeal would be forever diminished from being brushed by the likes of our _resident muzz sissy boy.

I know it’s very unladylike, but when I run across him on tv, I flip him a double bird. I can’t stand princess BO!

[Jim Noble]

You don’t think he really plays golf, do you?

He’s on his BlackBerry, running meetings of the Central Committee. The golf is just cover.

[tomkat]

Atta girl ! !

(i've reserved a couple thousand indulgences for you in advance .. if you need more before '16, get back to me and i'll get on it asap   ;-)

[tomkat]

Prolly anything anything to get away from Mooooand hang around those hunky SS guys . . .

barf

[John W]

I’m not sure he could “run” a one-car funeral procession.

[kabar]

Nonsense.

[Jim Noble]

I’m not sure he could “run” a one-car funeral procession.

Yes, he gives the impression of an incompetent.

But only if you think he's trying to be a good President.

[John W]

Good point.

[Truth29]

We are not getting complete media reports of just what is happening in the Eastern Mediterranean. I wonder if the presence of two of these have anything to do with today’s announcement?

Thank you! I’m gonna need’em! And I’ll surely be getting back to you for more! LOLOL!!!

[generally]

Morals, integrity, and the oath to defend American against all enemies foreign and domestic are trumped by ego and greed. So sad. Not the America I grew up in.

I am holding my nose to watch the MSLSD reaction and am shocked to hear Angrier Mitchell, F. Chuck Todd, and David Gregory call Obama weak and indecisive. It really pains them to even have to discuss how risky this is for President Dumbass...lol. I urge you to watch if you get a chance because it’s the only time you will ever enjoy this channel.
