Obama and his henchmen are looking for a way out of the bad situation they made for themselves.

Predicted it yesterday. He is looking for someone else to scapegoat if things sour in Syria, and if he is out front, alone, then all fingers will point at him when the shit hits the fan. This way, he can blame Congress whether they approve the use of force or not, since conditions are certain to detoriate.

Obama votes “Yes” and beats his chest - “See, I am a DECISIVE President. Strong as a bull.”

Congress votes No. “I MUST obey the Constitution”. (Aside to Lefty and Islamic friends) “I NEVER REALLY did not want to do it anyway!”

And the buffoon says what ?

The clown Obama , lying lame duck , is still talking ?

Bring eggs and tomatoes for that criminal who must be sued .

The UN inquiry then is useless .

Your buffoon president dare to speak about “democracy” as he IS NOT a democrat . He decides alone without proof ....
What is the hidden agenda and the true goal of the buffoon .

Go Putin

Ok, folks. Cooler heads have gotten to Obama, but it’s now up to We The People to burn up the telephone lines to our respective members of Congress (both houses, preferably).

Please, please, make these calls. Let Congress know we are opposed to any military action in Syria. Give Obama a way to save face, if you will.

It is up to every US citizen to do his or her duty.

My spouse and I’ve already made the calls, so I will turn it over to my fellow patriots.

If my Congressman votes to give it to him, I am going to raise holy Georgia Mountain hell on him.

0bama telegraphed his intentions without regard to Congress. Now they’re a convenient scapegoat for his mishandling of Syria. He really IS ‘The Amateur’.

It’s to be expected. It saves face, because he’s on record as saying that the POTUS can’t do these things alone, absent a clear national interest. Biden’s comments are even stronger (he says it would be impeachment material).

This way he passes responsibility over to Congress and makes himself look consistent in his principles.

And he knows darn well Congress won’t go for this. He doesn’t want to go in, but unless they help him, he has to do something. Every something is risky.

Benghazi, he couldn’t pass the buck. This time he can.

NOW it’s WE instead of ME.

Also there are other atrocities that have been given a blind eye to like the plight of the people of the Sudan.
