What BS!

After his “preliminary consultation” with the White House on Monday, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, “made clear that before any action is taken there must be meaningful consultation with members of Congress,” a spokesman said.

Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., expresses his view on the Obama administration’s response to the crisis in Syria over the past two years. McCain made the remarks Tuesday after an immigration town hall in his home state.

Likewise, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., a vocal critic of President George W. Bush’s wartime actions, stopped short of demanding a vote on Syrian operations. She said House members “stand ready to consult with President Obama to consider the appropriate course of action in response to these acts of brutality.”

“Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., expresses his view on the Obama administration...”
