After Painting Himself Into a Corner and Losing All His Allies, NOW Obama Looks to Congress!

As an excuse to back down, that is... 

then blame the Republicans, of course

After days of talking VERY publicly of all the terrible things he could do to Bashir Assad's odious regime in Demascus... Russia's sent 6-7 warships in and told him to back off while France scampered and the Brits said 'pass'. All of a sudden now he wants to ask Congress, please.

Either somebody warned Obama he's opening himself up to impeachment with another violation of the war powers act... or he simply realized he's been abandoned or opposed by just about everybody on Earth, including the UN.

The Peace Prize president tries to go on the warpath and the effort collapses with a resounding thud... time to blame the Republicans, what else. I've never favored aiding Al Qaeda in Syria -as Obama would like to do- but whatever just happened over the last week makes this country appear absolutely feckless... clueless... and leadership-less.

It at minimum buys him time while he slithers away from this humiliating leadership implosion by the Obama Administration- the pivot towards Capitol Hill establishes a timetable that could drag on for weeks.

I never thought I could be so embarrassed to be an American... the Russians must be laughing their ass off.

Thats a good one -

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Just. Say. No.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Well I hope he hurries up! Al Qaeda needs help NOW!

[Cementjungle]

Bingo.

Either way, Republicans lose.

Of course it would help if the media was honest, and/or Republicans had some backbone and spoke out. Neither is the case of course, so this is another political victory for Obozo.

[Ann Archy]

BINGO!!! Run and hide behind Congress’s skirt after you’ve hit the HORNET NEST!!

[Palio di Siena]

Miz Val’ry gon whip his negro ass fo screwin dis up.

[bravo whiskey]

and right now he is golfing again

[Publius Maximus]

You don’t understand the gravity of the situation. The Russians are laughing OUR ass off.

[Reaganite Republican]

Nothing like pretending you’re principled then walking away and proving you’re not- he made a worldwide spectacle of himself- let’s see Stephanopolis spin this one

[Reaganite Republican]

Exactly!

[gogeo]

I’ve been wondering about that...I didn’t think it possible to paint yourself into a corner with a red line.

[Red_Devil 232]

Bambi is just like his homeboy street apes. He can’t attack an elderly victim by himself he needs at least two other thugs to help.

[Moorings]

he simply realized he's been abandoned or opposed by just about everybody on Earth, including the UN.

I think this is more likely the reason. He is not worried about Boehnor, Cantor and Co.

[Newbomb Turk]

Weakest president ever for all to view on the world stage.

The enemys of America are killing each other. Shut up and let them continue !

[Texas Songwriter]

Boehner, Cantor, McConnell and the rest will give cover for obama. They will vote the way he wants them to vote.

[montanajoe]

Actually I think this was planned all along, he did not want to take military action and all the sabre rattled was to provoke the GOP and the Liberal dims into making it appear he had mo choice but to go to Congress. The House only plans to stick around for two weeks after they get back on September 9th so this fits in nicely with his plan to get another continuing resolution on the budget and to further undermine our credibility in the middle east with the full cooperation of the US congress.

As with all things in the middle east the US again shows it is a weak unreliable nation that cannot ever be trusted. As has been shown repeatedly, any adversary can defeat the US simply by drawing things out..

Got to get his boy McCain and his girl Graham on beating the war drums....got to save some black face.

[Newbomb Turk]

Obama and the Democrats have weakened us as a country starting with the Clinton era pullout from Somalia after the Blackhawk Down incident.

These tree hugger leftists have no idea what it takes to build, maintain or protect a nation.

Our weak responses enbolden every tin horn third worlder.

There is no hearts or minds to be won. You must confront your enemy with anniliation.

I guess Obama found out “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”
