He has his work cut out for him. Informal whip counting in the House does not look good for Obama’s war.

"work??" ....

Naah ... that word is not in our pResident's vocabulary. Unless it is in the context of 'work on my putting', or 'work on my March Madness picks'...

Maybe he’ll have some time to find out how our ambassador was murdered in benghazi too?

Or who ordered the IRS to target the TEA party?

According to ThinkProgress

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2013/09/02/2561371/congress-support-military-action-syria-thinkprogress-whip-count/

We are now at 199 Against, either solid or leans, with still 152 undecided. This thing is essentially over.

D or R or I, they ALL have to run next year, and they can read the polls.

Why would Obama need to go to California? That state is his pet already.

. . . . only 49 being counted as for the resolution. Four-to-one. I hope it's accurate! :-)

When Obama tries to go all “Trayvon” on Syria, how will he know that Syria won’t have a super-sonic anti-ship missile that will e-Zimmerate one or more of our Navy ships?

Among the ‘undecided’ Republicans, Steve King, Joe Wilson, and Trent Franks. This is not even going to be close. Momentum has pull.

Rush is of the opinion Obama wants the vote to fail — that takes Obama off the hot seat.

My assessment:

Obama has already managed to manipulate this into a way he can blame Republicans.

If they vote no, Obama wins and Pubbies lose.

If they vote yes, Obama wins. If he does bomb and the situation turns to sh*t, he can blame the Republicans. Pubbies lose.

The muzzie brothers are much more important to him than anything domestic. More of ruin of the U.S.A.
