An update on HIS deliberations?

Exactly! What's to update?

[machogirl]

we must remember what is so “special about Valerie”.

[kristinn]

AP s Josh Lederman:

"Protester chants of "Obama, hands off Syria" can be heard in Rose Garden, where Obama about to speak on #Syria"

My comment: Coordinated?

Will the teleprompter be loyally by his side showing support?

“I’ve completely tuned Obama out. I don’t listen to his speeches, I don’t read news about him, and if he’s on TV I change the channel.”

Same here. I have been doing that for about 5 years. I can’t stand the liar.

Yep, except if I get caught in a situation that I'm forced to watch him I instinctively flip him the bird. Gotten me in hot water a couple of times.

If our ships are out in the Med about 450 miles from the coast, it would take about an hour to reach the camels and tents. So they would have to be launched about an hour before he starts to play POTUS.

When was the last time four stars feared to oppose a President's planned attack? What about past presidents...were these four stars afraid to speak up and oppose Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Bush? These weak leaders of men and women are in the battle of OUR LIVES. Was Eisenhower afraid to speak up to Roosevelt and Truman? We the People are sooooooo lacking in leadership, men and women in positions of power who lack courage to do the right thing. Disgusting.

Hagel had an Assadgasm when threats against Israel were made.

[Viennacon]

He’d have to hit them from the air. From what research I’ve done, the Syrian navy is half decommissioned.

[faithhopecharity]

Can’t watch then. There’s a ScoobyDoo cartoon rerun on the boobtoob at that time.

Priorities.
Life has its priorities.
(ScoobyDoo makes a lot more sense and is a lot more entertaining.)

Just had a bag of bacon jerky. Best thing I ever ate.

Barry will turn his head sideways, pause, and look “thoughtful” and the Chris Matthews of the MSM will get tingles and thrills. His delay is not because of his indecisiveness but because of this “IQ-off-the-charts” thoughtfulness.
