I don’t agree at all. Msnbc has not received their talking points yet and are surely not being kind to the president. I’m sure they will sharpen their message in time but right now they are flailing away and don’t know what to make of this feckless and cowardly turn of events.

Maybe this has been discussed, deep in this thread somewhere, but, watching clips of the speech on Fox News (with the sound off), I saw crazy uncle Joe out there with Barry.

What does Crazy Joe have to do with this? Really! Why wouldn’t he have Lurch or the JCS? Crazy Joe? What ever shred of seriousness Barry tried to convey went out the window having that retard next to him.

That’s a tough one. Eat before and then vomit or delay eating and have a sick stomach.

This man is such a coward.

He knows he’s going to be VERY unpopular if he launches a strike at Syria, so he either wants Congress to say “no”, so he can “respect” their vote, thus he is bailed out of a mess.

On the other hand, if he gets the green light from Congress, it will remove the responsibility from him. If everything goes south, which it will, it will be on the head of Congress.

I hope they all vote “present”. Sweet irony.

Just some thoughts, though I haven’t been thru this thread yet...RE: Bo’s Speech.

The fact Bo is going to the Summit Wed. certainly plays into this...and you can bet he’ll enjoy being the star of the show over Syria while he’s there....bad press, good press, makes no difference as long as he’s center to the proceedings....and he will be.

I was flabbergasted as BO spoke of the Constitution let alone seeking Congressional Support!...Since when does that make a difference to him?...unless he needs a way out of the corner he’s pushed himself into...now suddenly both become important...so why now?....Libya was a much bigger operation...and using Drones to attack a sovereign country didn’t move him to seek approval.....so why now especially for something “with a very limited scope”?

IMO ... BO may very well be seeking Congressional authorization which would allow him a much larger military operation...He’s doing this if full out war opens up as a result of whatever sort of strike he determines. That’s why he wants Congress involved now...he wants a green light.

Also It was unnerving to hear him speak so often about “INTERNATIONAL ORDER”......(again revealing his true position),and how.. “WE”.. brought that about....who’s the we he’s speaking about? It’s sure not the American people!

All in all he’s not doing this for any other purpose than to carry out his “International Globalist Agenda” with our Congressional leaders behind him....and should they deny him that...then he’ll blame the Congress for tying his hands...or .......get the whole matter tied up in Congress so he can’t do anything...and still blame them.

Bottom line...HE’s looking to blame someone else when all is said and done.

Speaking of vomiting...LOLOLOL

The old Onion reported Obama lost his cookies all over the table during the Security meeting Friday.....though likely not true...but is nice to imagine possible...he dry heaved as well until they finally had to call off the meeting til he got it together.

If it is true...serves him right for pitting nations against each other....and sweating out just how stupid he is....

Great comments. I've felt all along he really dislikes America, thinks we need to be brought down to size, and is a hard core Marxist/socialist/communist at heart. He wants to Cloward-Piven the country until the people 'beg' him to fix things. Then he can oversee the process into the globalist one world government - that is, unless We the People stop him and his ilk.

Pray for America and prepare. We have a long term battle on our plate.

He NEVER wanted to attack Assad. He was looking for a way out the entire time.

“John Bolton. “Absolutely stunning! The weakest president since Buchannan. We are watching the loss of influence of America in the middle east. He is unlikely to get the votes in congress but he says he has authority to act. Tehran knows it has a green light to continue with their nuclear weapons. He has compounded his redline mistake twice over today. He is unsure he is even willing to do it unless he gets approval from congress. He should call congress in right now if he is so sure he should go into Syria.””

The good news is that every Israeli who thought they could trust Obama, even the most far left Zahava Gal-On of Meretz, now thinks that Obama’s word has less credibility than a piece of used toilet paper.

You, sir, have hit the proverbial nail squarely on the head.

Just send Obama to Syria, and he will campaign the alleged genocidal Assad culprits to death.

( Info exists pointing to a Saudi funded group of “resisance fighters” who set up the toxic gas attack in Syria.)
