Obama to seek congress approval

[Plasmaball]

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says he has decided that the United States should take military action against Syria in response to a deadly chemical weapons attack.

But he says he will seek congressional authorization for the use of force.

He says congressional leadership plans to hold a debate and a vote as soon as Congress comes back in September.

Obama says he has the authority to act on his own, but believes it is important for the country to have a debate.

Military action would be in response to a chemical weapons attack the U.S. says Syrian President Bashar Assad's government carried out against civilians. The U.S. says more than 1,400 Syrians were killed in that attack last week.

That motherfucking TYRANT!!!!!! Impeach the fucking bastard for using the proper channels!

looks like he is backpedaling.

GOOD

 

[Katzndogz]

An ideal time for congress to stop him.

 

[Hoffstra]

He has made a great decision.

after Iraq, after Afghanistan, we need the representatives of The People to ok military action.

no doubt, Zionist extremists and fans of Al Qaeda will be furious at this decision.

 

[dilloduck]

When your political ass is getting kicked is a good time to finally start playing by the rules.

 

[Katzndogz]

He made a decision to set the stage for saying "I wanted to do something but republicans wouldn't let me."

wow some nice spinning going on in here.

It is simply a way for him to sidestep his declared "redline", do nothing as usual - and be able to hide behind and blame congress for it.

Clearly, Obama is afraid that Biden will have him impeached if he doesn't get Congressional approval.

if the Congress does not approve - this will save obama's face and this country from another unnecessary war.

Call your representatives NOW.

More or less Obama has proven to be a war dictator like Bush. Obama talked himself into a corner and lacks support from 99% of Americans (not really 99%). Obama caused this problem, now he is using congress to get him out of this mess. Congress can say no to a strike against Syria and Obama never gets blames by the mindless Obama-bots for being the sole person who tried to start another war.

If congress approves I bet Obama breaks in the mid 30% approval ratings in 2-3 months and never gets above it unless there is some crisis he uses in his favor at a later date.

I refuse to give Obama credit for this decision. Popular opinion influenced his decision. It's all about politics, and saving face for the Democratic party. It's a good example of a politician doing the right thing for the wrong reason.

Obabble caught with his dick in his hand...asks congress to return it to his pants.

yes thats it.....go eat your pudding

 

[ba1614]

I'll give him credit where it's due, regardless of the reason, going to Congress is the right thing.

But what a distraction he's got going just when the noose was tightening on so many other fronts.

 

[skookerasbil]

This was the stunt this Commander in Weenie was pulling all along.......career fucking fence sitter.

Thank the people for electing a progressive limpwrister......meanwhile, world leaders are linking their chops!!

 

[Two Thumbs]

only took him vast number of polls show we were against it
evidence that it might have been the repels with the help of suadis
etc
etc

but hey, when you NEED good news....

 

[Wry Catcher]

looks like he is backpedaling.

GOOD

Looks like he's listening and thinking, something all leaders ought to do. I sure wish George W. Bush had backpedaled, and so do thousands of American and Iraqi families.
