He doesn't need those pesky other branches.

President Obama told congressional leaders in a meeting Tuesday that he has the authority to launch broader attacks against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, downplaying the prospect of a Capitol Hill vote on his military plan ahead of his prime-time address to the nation Wednesday night.
Obama “told the leaders that he has the authority he needs to take action against [the Islamic State] in accordance with the mission he will lay out in his address tomorrow,” the White House said in a readout of the meeting that included Obama, Vice President Joe Biden; House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.; Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
“The president told the leaders that he would welcome action by the Congress that would aid the overall effort and demonstrate to the world that the United States is united in defeating the threat from" the Islamic State, the White House added.

I think you may be right. This kind of triangulation would make a Clinton proud.

Tough talk from a muslim that will not attack IS. He is misdirecting so everyone will later claim, “Yeah, dat’s right, he be attackin dem muzzies!”
67 votes are the only deterrent to this narcissistic dictator.
He's been rope-a-doped to the point that the longer he fails to respond, or only responds with half measures, he remains entirely responsible for the (failed) outcome as well as wholly responsible for each additional death.
FReegards!
