		<description><![CDATA[Man, you are SO CUTE!

If Obama had dropped bombs on Syria, you&#039;d be screaming and crying that he was a dictator and a tyrant, and needed to be impeached.

Instead, he asked Congress to make a decision (oh, and had the AUDACITY to express his own opinion on it, as if he was as good as OTHER people), and you&#039;re saying that... well, that he&#039;s a dictator, and that he&#039;s Machiavellian, and you leave it to the comment section to recommend impeachment.

And if the President of the United States had dropped bombs on the Middle East, and followed it with ground troops and set up an invasion which lasted for a decade or more at the cost of thousands of American lives and trillions of dollars, you&#039;d have probably called him a war criminal and demanded his immediate imprisonment... oh, no, wait. Sorry. You didn&#039;t, did you?

Oh, incidentally, I really like it where you talked about &quot;his insane spending sprees and the debt limit.&quot; That&#039;s cute, too. I would guess that you&#039;re aware that the economy is currently $652 billion higher than its 2007 peak, and the federal budget deficit is has shrunk in half since 2008. So, really, that&#039;s not the best thing to complain about, is it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Repeat after me Mr. President. WE! WE! WE! OUR! OUR! OUR!

Democrat says Obama risks IMPEACHMENT if he acts against Syria without congressional approval
August 30th, 2013

Kucinich also takes issue with how Obama phrased his statement earlier today when he said “I meant what I said, I have not made a final decision.” Kucinich says it’s not ‘I, the president’ but rather it’s ‘WE the people’ who formed the Constitution and it dictates that only Congress can take this country to war.

OBAMA: ‘MY MILITARY’ LOOKING AT SYRIA OPTIONS
31 Aug 2013

President Barack Obama referred to the country’s troops as “MY MILITARY” in Friday remarks about how the United States may respond to the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime in Syria that Obama asserted violated international norms.

“Now, I have not made a final decision about various actions that might be taken to help enforce that norm,” Obama said. “But as I’ve already said, I have had MY MILITARY and our team look at a wide range of options. We have consulted with allies. We’ve consulted with Congress. We have been in conversations with all the interested parties.”

		<description><![CDATA[In 2008, when Barack Obama was campaigning for the American presidency in Berlin, he derided and decried the &quot;unilateralism&quot; of Present Bush in attacking Iraq. NB: If recruiting a coalition of over 40 sovereign states to take out Saddam Hussein was &quot;unilateralism&quot;, then what Barack Obama is doing now is geopolitical masturbation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m sure the Mc Loon faction is raring to put the muscle to those unruly TEA Party peeps who might just speak up on behalf of WE the People!  



IMO we should arm both sides to the teeth, guard all the major exits and enjoy the show.  

As a friend of mine predicted a few days ago, this will all probably come to a head on or around Sept 11.   Benghazi WHAT???]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember, the Democrats see the Constitution as a &quot;now outdated historical document&quot;. That&#039;s why they believe they have the authority for the President to wage war. 



Once you understand and accept that the Democrat politicians do not believe in the Constitution and act and legislate accordingly, then their actions become more predictable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the Syrian issue, the U.S. Constitution is on Congress&#039;s side and not the Executive Branch. Other than idle face saving rhetoric coming from Obama, Congress has the first, and last word about waging war against a sovereign nation, that did not attack the United States.

  If Obama can&#039;t make a case before Congress and is instead dismissed by them, then if he dishonestly decides to go it alone, he&#039;s then wide open for impeachment, high crimes and misdemeanour&#039;s and possibly war crimes in the international court.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If congress says no, he gets another political talking point saying the R&#039;s support the killing of little people (he&#039;ll conveniently forget any D no votes).  It won&#039;t matter that he himself supported allowing Saddam to do the same.  He&#039;s counting on his water carriers in the media to support him.

Either way, it&#039;s interesting to see what order he seeks approval (or sharing the blame):
1) The UN
2) Leading elements of NATO
3) Congress (i.e. the American people and the constitution)
One way or the other, he claims the right to overrule everyone.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama may believe he has the authority to start a war, but it&#039;s interesting that he seems oblivious to the political risk should he lose the vote in Congress and then go to war anyway.  He might have been better advised, from the standpoint of getting away with yet another violation of the Constitution, to simply launch the attack and then count on the Left-media to cover for him.  To ask Congress for approval is to tacitly admit their approval is required; apparently Obama believes he can request approval and then go forward even if his request is denied.]]></description>
