What you are posting..is "spin".
Obama doesn't make "threats". He makes promises.
The red line was the chemical weapons. He said he was going to strike.
Conservatives in the Congress, by the way, were trying to stop him. They said he should get a vote on that. By the way? He called the fucks on that. He said, "Go on, vote".
You know what the reply was? "But..but..we are on vacation!"
The point stands.
And Obama on the world wide stage is respected.
It's just a few people in this country that float this garbage.
"He doesn't make threats, he makes promises" you say. Well if Obamacare was any indication, we all know how well Obama's "promises" pan out. Don't even go there. Your point is bunk. No manner of insistence from you will change that. Obama kept moving goalposts, making more idle threats. Syria didn't respond. They knew he was full of it.
And yes, per the constitution, any declaration of war, act of war or any commitment of troops to foreign lands for more than a 60 day time period must be authorized by Congress. Or don't you read the Constitution at all?
You delude yourself, Sallow. Its sad to watch a person wrap himself in a cloak of lies. The real garbage here is saying Obama is perfect and without any flaw. If Obama was so respected on the world stage, why is he funding terrorists? Hmm? Why did he sit there and allow the NSA to spy on World Leaders as he has?
Quiet you.
ObamaCare is doing fine. People are flocking now to enroll. Republicans are not even talking about repealing it any more. As it continues to roll out it will do better. You guys got a "toe hold" on the website, which was fixed, and an insurance company trick, which was thrown back in their faces.
And did you forget the AUMF? Well? Did you?
That was a blanket use of force to defend against terrorism. Conservatives cobbled that craptacular piece of legislation together. And it gives the President the right to strike without the approval of congress. Which one of your merry Conservatives (Besides, say Rand or Ron Paul) are trying to get that repealed? And you aren't citing the Constitution by the way on the 60 day thing. That's the war powers act. Maybe you should read the Constitution.
Same with the NSA. That's part of what the lovely Patriot Act is all about. As to funding terrorists? What modern President hasn't?
This ought to be good.![]()
"Obamacare is doing fine"
In what universe? People aren't flocking to it by any stretch of the word. Also, Sallow, Republicans have a proposal in the works right now to repeal and replace Obamacare:

Also, March 31 is fast approaching. The law needs 7 million enrollees by then. It's 4 million behind as of now. More people have enrolled in Medicaid than Obamacare. And no, one has nothing to do with the other.
As it continues to roll out it will do better. You guys got a "toe hold" on the website, which was fixed, and an insurance company trick, which was thrown back in their faces.
It must be sad for you to live in an alternate reality.

You're cherrypicking. Moving on.

This is a dodge. That's also faulty reasoning. It doesn't matter who does it, it's wrong. Contras, Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda... no difference. If Obama cared for the privacy of American citizens, HE WOULDN'T HAVE EXTENDED THE PATRIOT ACT, Sallow.
And did you forget the AUMF? Well? Did you?
No. But I'm sure it wasn't meant to be used to kill innocent children with drone strikes either.
