Be careful what you wish for Mitch. Obama could easily force you to do something that alienates you with your base back home, namely backing an Obama policy.

Whatever Obama comes up with Wednesday night, it will either be:

a) too weak
b) too dictatorial
c) too Europe-based

And then the soundbite wars can begin.

Oh Cheney me.

I actually agree. This needs a war powers act resolution.

On a political level, this would be a good thing too, because when it goes pear shaped, and it will, it’s the Middle East, the Republicans will be on record for having voted on it.

Didn’t Obama already say he was going to do that? So now when he does it (as he is required to do by the War Powers Act anyway, right?) Mitchy can tell his Fox buddoes that Obama marches to his orders now?

Or what? Republicans will oppose everything that Obama wants? Oh, I know, if the President doesn’t seek congressional approval, Republicans will block immigration reform, right? Or, maybe, if Obama blows off Congress, they’ll hold another vote to repeal the ACA or, better yet, call for another House hearing into Benghazi, right? STFU and sit down, Senator.

Too bad old turtle. The Use of Military Force Authorization Act (or whatever the name is) you pushed through Congress for W makes it very clear he doesn’t have to ask your opinion about anything war related.

Maybe you should try looking forward to possible future ramifications of the bills you pass.

Mitch represents everyone in the country? I thought it was just people in Kentucky.

Why won’t he do something NOW?! (Obama is weak). [beat]
Why won’t he work with Congress?! (Obama is a tyrant).

Is this what the walking crypt Cheney discussed over lunch. Well, this is how the 9/11 Commission, judge your stun: http://thehill.com/homenews/217054-9-11-commission-rips-congress-on-isis

The Hill interviewed members of the 9/11 Commission, who didn’t shy away from criticizing congress, specifically, repubs. members of congress for turning the ISIS terror threat into partisan political issue:

Ron Fournier asks: “Why is Obama tipping his hand?”

Still waiting on 200+ vacant appointee slots you fumb duck.

The Prez has to act so we will have something (else) to bitch about. The End.
