President Barack Obama appears to be dangerously close to what would be an historic rebuke at the hands of Congress, if the current whip-count projections on the authorization to attack Syria continue to hold.
Pundits on both sides of the aisle say losing the high-stakes bid for congressional authorization would make Obama an instant lame-duck, and might well endanger his entire second-term agenda.
The resolution authorizing an attack on Syrian strongman Bashar Assad, as punishment for his use of chemical weapons against his own people, is still expected to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate.
But the real question mark all along has been whether the administration could muster enough support to get the attack resolution through the House. And there, the situation for the administration appears to be growing dimmer by the hour.
Various news organizations are contacting members of Congress to see where they stand on the attack authorization. While each outlet has different numbers, the ominous sign for the administration is that all of them show the "no" votes outpacing the "yes" votes by a more than a 3-1 margin.

The Kenyan is caught with...
please make this AntiAmerican Marxist punk an early lame-duck.
Anyone have confidence congress will do it?
Nahhhh, I didn’t think so. Gutless turds
there will be another chemical attack very soon...it wont matter who does it...it will give Obama his congressional resolution...
It’s about d**n time that the Boy Emperor gets slapped down. The Congress has been his whipping boy from Day 1.
Even if Obama gets shut down on Syria, I’m sure he will continue his attack on America: smothering our economy under taxes and regulations, lowering our standards of living, spending us to insolvency, violating our privacy, restricting our freedoms, etc.

Not only is killing this thing the right thing to do, but it will also render the entire Obama agenda dead in the water. Boehner needs to be swept aside, along with the other Obama-abetters.
Yeah, right.
The "news" media will cover for their selected boy-king wannabe, no matter what.
Remember what Clintoon's people would do? Put out word just before a story broke about how bad it was, then when it wasn't as bad as projected, they'd (Clintoon's people and the media) would all go, "Oh, look! It isn't really that bad!" and the story would fade away.
Watch for King Zero's merry band of court jesters (this includes the "news" media) to do the same.
Well, that's a relief. We all know that he never says one thing and then does another...
I’m stealing that, Trav.
It doesn’t matter if Congress “rebukkes” him. He’s been planing this for 2 yeas and will order a strike with or without approval. Who’s gonna stop him?
That can’t be Limbaugh keeps telling us this is a ‘win-win’ for Obama!
Spread the word far and wide.
When the dust settles, we need to look into Boehner's support of this insanity.
