As I posted on another thread. Here is my take on it. I think he wants to vote present on the war so he can say Not Me the Rep. congress agrees too .
What I think the republicans in the house and senate should is to vote 50% for OBAMAS plan and 50% against it. Then whatever the democrats want will happen. They are going to get their way anyway but this will ensure they own it.
I dont think Obama wants to bomb Syria but has lost credibility over the Gassing by Assad or whoever did it.
I sure think the Republicans should stay out using the above strategy but dont think they have the balls to do it.
Obama doesnt want to own this.
No! If even one republican votes with them they will say they had bipartisan support for this fiasco.
