Live Thread: Pres. Obama Addresses the Nation on Syria Sep 10, 2013 9 P.M. EDT

C-SPAN ^ | Tuesday, September 10, 2013

[kristinn]

As Congress continues to debate the authorization of use of force against the Assad regime, President Obama addresses the nation from the White House on the situation in Syria.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Obama will go in to save his face, and no other reason.

Yep, we're going to war no matter what.

I've never ever seen such a big bag of mixed messages in my life...what a f***** pos.

[PAR]

Two blatant lies:

1) The deal on the table resulted from HIS conversations with Russia, rather than Kerry’s bumbling gaffe.

2) Pausing the vote in Congress to let the diplomatic discussions take place. If it could pass, he would let the vote take place in order to keep pressure on Assad to complete the deal. He admitted that the military will stay in place in order to keep the pressure on. He would do the same with the votes ... if he had the votes.

I finished one pint of bud light clamato during his “ speech “.

Gee, wish it would have been longer. LOL

[Mr. Binnacle]

It is tragic that people, including children, died during the gassing in Syria. However, if the bumbling of the response brings down the worst administration in the history of the greatest country on earth, their deaths will not be in vain.

Is Elijah Cummings on CNN drunk??

He just said Putin wouldn’t be doing this if Obama wasn’t such a strong President!

[MagUSNRET]

I did 30 years in the military, but I have to say...I DID smile when Putin b*tch slapped this punk!

[Hoodat]

Thanks.

[mylife]

Children are being slaughtered in Syria at this very moment.

[don-o]

MSNBC has Sharpton on. Among other things he is a very dim bulb

[DJlaysitup]

“It’s not our job to police the world”...OK, now that we have established that...let’s get on with policing the world.

[penelopesire]

Haha..must have read FR today because a FReeper said that very thing!

[KittenClaws]

We are not a democracy in any way, shape, or form.

We are a representative republic, in spite of how our representatives abuse it.

[TLOne]

Would those with a cast iron stomach please report on msnbc praise. Cnn too?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Is Elijah Cummings on CNN drunk??

No, he's just an "effin' retard".

[Marcella]

“Smoking will stunt your growth...”

Smoking keeps people I don’t like away from me. Liberals wouldn’t come close to me. Cigarette smoke is magical for self defense.

[TheConservativeParty]

I watched for 10 seconds and that’s all I could stand.

[KittenClaws]

LOL.

You just described Barry in a nutshell.

[maggief]

CORRECTION: should read “draft”

[miserare]

“But I’m also the president of the world’s oldest constitutional democracy”

Oh, so he’s back to the “I WON!” mantra.

[Hoodat]

He opened up his speech with a lie when he said, “My fellow Americans . . .”
