My thought exactly. He’s trying to tell Obama to put the handgrenade down. LOL

[A CA Guy]

Maybe they had to sedate the President so he would stop laughing at his own speech.

[TomGuy]

“Bush’s coalition of the willing looks pretty strong compared to this”

So far, Obama has coalition of 2 -- the US and maybe/possibly France.

Has John Kerry run to the UN to give a speech on have Syria is using WMDs?

The Dems were demanding Bush get permission from the UN.

Where is the UN ambassador? What is the UN doing? Are they all on the long Labor Day holiday?

Wooo! I have posed more questions in this one post than the compliant news media would ask in a full hour presser.

[Errant]

LOL!

[nascarnation]

Is he waiting for halftime of the A&M game?

[Rome2000]

I think he might be scared of the bogeyman

[A CA Guy]

Is this late stuff all the time by the first half black President going to give a bad impression to others?

[MagUSNRET]

My guess is that he is sitting on his ass, enjoying the fact that MSM is waiting with baited breath for him to appear........
There are no words to describe how much I loathe this POS Mulatto Muslim

[Starboard]

Where is the UN ambassador?
********
On vacation last time I heard. Seriously.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Lol did you hear how Putin addressed Obama today

---

“I would like to address Obama as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate: Before using force in Syria, it would be good to think about future casualties,” Putin told Russian news agencies in Vladivostok during a tour of the country’s flood-stricken Far East.

I just noted that the RAT will likely strike today, before sunset, during Israel’s shabbat, just to rub Israel’s nose in it, that’s all I said.

[advertising guy]

the UN spoke today and took questions...basically their team took samples to determine if chems were used and

no one should do anything til the results are known

how soon til the results are known?

10 years

[A CA Guy]

Maybe he's waiting for the Housewives of Atlanta to be over.

[NonValueAdded]

Geez ... and even Kook Kucinich was making sense last night. I think I better go and check on the color of the sky.

[BunnySlippers]

He could have scheduled it for 1:45 PM and still have been late. No regard for expensive air time.

[SoFloFreeper]

I see. Obama was late getting his rent-a-crowd of supporters.

[Red_Devil 232]

HE still has not arrived. What an A - Hole!
