President Obama has turned to Congress to save him from staggering political isolation on the global stage. It is an isolation that is the inverse of the promise of a passionate and reciprocal multilateral embrace that carried him into office.
Asking Republicans to rescue him from a foreign policy catastrophe entirely of his own making is not a neat political trick. It dramatically cheapens the office of commander-in-chief. Contrary to the President’s devious portrayal, therefore, the coming vote is so much more than a response to “this attack” or “the massacre” in Syria.
The President had the audacity to ask Congress about the message “we” will send if he does not go forward with his highly circumscribed attack on the Syrian regime. The real question is, what is the message he has already sent by his deed and his words, his paralysis and his verbal scam?
First and foremost, the President cast the rationale for an attack on Syria as a “danger to our national security.” And yet, what is the single greatest threat to the national security of the United States – not tomorrow, but today? There is only one incontrovertible answer, and it is Iran. Not once in his rare appeal to Congress and the American people to use force, however, did President Obama use the word “Iran.”
He twisted and turned and alluded – in the plural – to “governments who would choose to build nuclear arms.” He simply would not come clean with his fellow citizens.

Congress can say, “What do you mean ‘we’? You have a gerbil in your pocket?”
Maybe the Boy Wonder will think twice next time before he acts stupidly and shoots his mouth off.
Thanks Nachum. Hmm, sounds familiar.

All the pubbies should just vote “present” and let Obozo and the rest of the Dems own this. If it was a good enough vote for for him when he was in the Senate, it should be good enough now.
I find it particularly rich that Obumbler recently commented that Congress “doesn’t have a lot of core responsibilities.” The man is a walking joke and a national disgrace, to go down in history as the worst U.S. president, ever. IMPOTUS.

As usual the American people,better known as lemmings are led by the ring in their noses about the children and Syrians are laughing at us,what a bunch of idiots,hurry up let’s talk about something serious like Molly Cyrus or teaching kindergarten children about sex,Oprah,or how smart the great Orator in the White House is.
