Ignore this.

The legal consequences of going ahead after congress forbids it will be such that he will not do it.

Congress will vote yes because the Minority Whip will force the issue and Boehner will line up a yes vote on his side because he'll say in exchange, Obama will not fight the debt ceiling issue.

This is, after give years soooo predictable.

Yeah, this is a “finesse”, which actually has some analogy to the bridge maneuver in this case, I think ... kind of.

You don't get it, my brother.

Obama REVELS in rubbing your nose in his lawlessness. He throws the LITERAL finger in meetings with Republicans. When he loses something, he doubles-down. Remember when Scott Brown's win damned Obamacare? He doubled-down and got it rammed through anyways, via Louis Slaughter and her 'Deem and Pass' manuever.

If there is a NO vote on a Syrian strike, he will proceed, and he will DARE anyone to do anything about it. Of course, after the eventual nuclear strikes on America, he won't be ruling over much, but he could really give a shit.

At least Hitler and his minions had spiffy uniforms with visored hats and arm bands, without a scorecard you can’t tell his minions from the rinos.

Bump!

I agree totally.

If he openly defies congress on this one, he could be impeached. Yes, I know the Senate will not, but there might be enough pressure from We the People, that enough ComDem Senators might actually do it.

I’ve thought all along that he is looking for a way to do nothing and put the blame on R’s. He let his alligator mouth overload his hummingbird ass and is looking for a way out

Obama leaving door open to...

Is this like Obama says all options are on the table?

Yes, the door is open and he can leave, please!

The door is open and the welcome mat for America’s enemies is in place.
