The President will deliver a statement on Syria at 1:15 pm today in the Rose Garden today.

I doubt Congress will support it.

Lets see how the RINO’s vote.

McConnell just released a statement that said congress should have a vote?

Why didn’t McConnell demand a vote before Zero’s speech. How convenient of McConnell, after the fact.

I was watching very carefully. I saw Obama with his tail between his legs. Did you notice it?

[af_vet_rr]

I thought he had already made the decision to use military force?

He has. His "consultation" with Congress as I call it, is just rubber stamping his decision. I don't believe he would put it up for Congressional approval if he didn't already have the backing he wanted.

Lindsay Gayham, McCain, Pelosi, etc. will make sure and bully and cajole the Senate and House into supporting this. They'll use words like "national security", etc. to sell it. Sure, a few like the Pauls and Cruz will oppose it, but I believe it's a foregone conclusion that we are going to war.

They have not got a clue. All they care about is the Earl Butz principals.

Butz got it wrong though. It applies to anyone who won’t work and is satisfied to live ignorant.

“Sadly this isn’t funny....this is serious shit....this is a humiliation of the United States of America.”

Really? You’re assuming that the folks outside of the US are too stupid to realize that dear leader boxed himself into a corner without the support of the American people?

I think you have it wrong. This is a humiliation of dear leader.

Syrian TV declaring victory per Fox.

Now that’s funny...

[Sequoyah101]

I suppose congress has to support this or they will be racis. Can’t have that now can we?

[JerseyDvl]

Still voting PRESENT.

[Cementjungle]

This Congress (repubs at least) is afraid of Obama and will continue to do what Obozo wants. Don’t see why this time will be any different than any other issue.

[RKBA Democrat]

“Iran, do you want to hear another speech like this one?? We will condemn your actions! No country can stand that!”

And if that doesn’t work, we’ll bring out....THE COMFY CHAIR!

[Yaelle]

Ha ha!

[Jedidah]

bingo

[tennmountainman]

Right on!
Now congress will go on record. Let’s see how the RINO’s vote.

The only person that won was Sarah Palin. She had the pulse of the American People with her Facebook post yesterday.

[Starboard]

Excatly. There is always a price to be paid for stupidity. Maybe the country will learn a little something from this episode.

[Dog]

You have it wrong....he is the United States of America.
