Obama : I Might Lose Congressional Vote on Syria....

Yeppers!
Only problem is Hillary wasn't ready either!!

Well.....nor was Obama. Partying out west coast was way more important to him. But not that he would politicize an election. :roll: :lol:

Hoping we'll get a real President in 2016,
but not making any bets on it !!!!

Perhaps someone other than Hillary might be nice.
 
How much have we spent bombing so far? ZERO.
Looks like defense contractor meme is the hit of the hour with you history rewriters.
Can't take yes for an answer can you.
Can't look forward with to the future with positives.
Unoriginal repeat sarcaz
All you have is pure hatred for the POTUS, with each and every post.
Me?.....nah. I lead the way. Sua Sponte.

Maybe that's cuz of all those defense contracts Durbin is part of, only #2 Behind Johnny Quest.....sorry to break the news. All the Headlines across the globe are talking about How Obama has backed down. Backed off. Was looking for a political ploy to save face. Now he just needs to wash his face. Maybe it will help with that SourPuss he has been sportin lately. :lol:

Note.....the Clue should have been. Obama had no Cheshire grins. Wake up and smell the coffee. ;)
 
Since you don't think....Obama is a REAL President....who was the last REAL President?

How many millions have we given to Syria already? Do you even have a clue? Can't accept that the NEOS are supplying weapons to terrorists huh? Giving money to terrorists. Even looking to party with the Terrorists.

Looks like the MS Media gets to play comedian with YOUR MAN Obama.

Just can't accept the truth and facts about your Man. Mo matter what. We understand why!

Yes I am looking to a positive Future.....that's a World where Your Man Obama gets to take the backseat of the Bus. Play Passenger and has to STFU.

Now notice.....that still doesn't stop the MS media from lambasting Obama's ass or making him out to look like the Putz he is and always has been.
 
And here I though you'd be positive if you posted on me first. Give Peace a chance, Bro, but deal from strength, as Obama did by showing Putin some of his toys...

Obama isn't dealing from strength, don't be ridiculous. His coalition of two fell apart in less than a week, he failed to drum up ANY national OR domestic support, he put a war vote to congress without doing anything diplomatically first, and in the end strengthened Russian prestige while weakening our own.

The number of recent events you have to ignore or be oblivious to to come to your conclusion is staggering. Please understand that nobody else is as willing as you are to play stupid for Obama's benefit.


Quid Pro...


Do you mean Quid Pro Quo? What is the US getting out of this, exactly, other than a diplomatic exit and its tail between its legs?


pure hackery, like calling Obama "schuck and jive" by Limbaugh...


Nope, it is like calling our State department and President utterly useless in an international crisis that they themselves created. Which is entirely true.


this hackery is in every post of yours and has nothing to do with my OP


If I am off topic it is only insofar as I was replying to a post of yours that was off topic. Had Obama never made the idiotic "red line" comment we wouldn't be scrambling for an out today. And his diplomatic powers are so spent that he had his only two allies drop out, leaving him holding the bag. That was appropriate, I suppose, since he filled the bag in the first place.
 
Good afternoon Pero - I think you're right about both the Senate and the House - I see Harry Reid pulled back on a scheduled test vote in the Senate scheduled for tomorrow and has not rescheduled yet - not sure if that means he's nowhere near the votes or the President has some new twist he's about to announce tonight.

As for being irrelevant, I've been saying that ever since he travelled the country in his campaign bus claiming that sequestration had to stop or it would be the end of civilization as we know it - that's the snapshot in time when the majority of people in America saw him for what he is and started tuning him out.

I think President Obama had every chance of becoming a very good relevant president if he had pulled a Bill Clinton after the 2010 election like Bill did after the 1994 mid terms. Bill worked with Republicans to accomplish his agenda and was successful. So successful as we, the majority of us look back at his presidency with satisifaction and wish we could have times like that again. I think obama refusal to work across the aisle is the big limiting factor to his presidency. IKE worked with LBJ, JFK with Dirksen, LBJ also worked with Dirksen. Reagan and Tip O'Neal are stuff of legends, Bush the first worked with Democrats in the house, Rostenkowski comes quickly to mind.

Absolutely right - and don't short-change Bush two working with Democrats, like Kennedy on No Child Left Behind. There's not a single issue, except perhaps now with McCain and Syria, where Obama has tried to specifically work with Republicans.

Clinton was decent albeit immoral !!
GWB was honest & moral,but not necessarily good in his 2nd term.
To me Reagan was the best in my history.:twocents:

I think President Obama thought, thinks his presidency would be like his first two years when the Democrats owned huge majorities in both houses of congress. I do not think he has yet come to terms that the Democrats no longer control the house. He seems to think he can bypass congress on almost everything and when he needs congress's votes he can hit the campaign trail and go around congress directly to the people. If it weren't for some huge misteps by the GOP and a some rotten candidates they nominated for the senate, the GOP would be in full control of congress. Obama was very lucky in 2012 as no republican with a bucket of spit decided to run against him.

Not to mention he best hope he don't lose the Senate this 2014.....otherwise you will see one of the Most Lame Duck Presidents ever to hold an Oval office. Not only wont he be able to move anything forward. But he may end up losing his Precious Ponzi Scheme and that Obamacare.

Either way.....after his term. It will be running out anyone he put into a spot. With the exception of SCOTUS. Which hopefully one day we can stop all those lifetime appointments. NO MORE FREE RIDES!

The left definitely can kiss Susan Rice's ass goodbye. She will be driven out of US Politics completely. Not even her bestest pal Bilbo will be able to save her ass this time.

You seem to forget that the senate democrats were in similar unfavorable electoral chances in 2010 and 2012. Despite the long odds the democrats not only kept their majority in the senate but they managed to gain seats.

Besides the republicans in the house have not done themselves any favors by making themselves as useless as a hedge trimmer in a desert.

Yeah, well with Rockefeller and the Dems #2 boy in Montana not making a Showing to take Baucus' place. It's not looking good for the left. ;)

Throw in the republican primary in Georgia and Mitch McConnell trying to survive his primary opponent I say that balances out the odds.

Well that was before the Dems side got pushed up to 21 seats.....we need only 6 to take the Senate now.
 
We know that Syria has WMD's and supports terrorism.

I remember a time when republicans thought that was good enough reason to justify an invasion

Note: I did not and still do not support the above rationalization for war.
What we DONT know is who actually USED the chemical weapons in August. Maybe the same guys that used them in March 2013 and were caught with them in June 2013...you know...BOs allies...the 'rebels'?
 
Well when you are used to playing small ball. Its hard to hang tough with a guy like Putin.

Obama believes too much of his own press. He thinks he's actually the brilliant leader that Chris Matthews says he is.

That would be assuming you got the perfect canidates.

I think North Carolina, Louisiana, and new hampshires will be tough fights but I think the democratic incumbents will manage to win.

Might want to throw in Virginia and Warners Seat too. ;)
 
Care to explain why you think he is vulnerable?

Because of his full and Unfettered Support of Obama and that Virginia still leans to the Right.....this time, there will be No Romney to screw things up. So more will come out in support than when Romney ran.
