This is satire, right.
Somebody tell me this community organizer didn't really take this country to war via a note written to Congress. Huh?

I’ll be late for the war because the dog ate my homework.

Sorry, it’s not satire. That is what the dictator did.

This is what the law actually says:
SEC. 2. (c)
The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.
Which he skipped entirely to get to:
SEC. 3.
The President in every possible instance shall consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situation where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and after every such introduction shall consult regularly with the Congress until United States Armed Forces are no longer engaged in hostilities or have been removed from such situations.
I guess if the Repubs think it's fine, then it must be. They aren't needed then if we just have an executive branch and not a legislative one.

Congress consists of a Senate full of Liberal schmucks and the House is occupied by Eunuchs. Meanwhile, our White House is occupied by a wannabe dictator, in my opinion.
This Congress is gutless.

He can’t be expected to fly back from Rio to notify people in person, can he?
