The full court press is actually a DELAYED full court press. It must wait. It cannot interfere with Monday Night Football. That’s how urgent this silly adventure is.

Why don’t we get to the bottom of Benghazi weapons smuggling before we create further chaos.

Why is it that the military must obey their boss, the Commander-in-Chief, but yet he doesn’t have to obey his boss — the American people...?

It's a systems problem, or alternately, a command and control problem. The military is supposed to obey the chain of command in real time. The President only faces the people every four years, and their decisiveness is diluted by party factionalism, multiple issues, and propaganda.

In parliamentary systems, they trade the possibility of more rapid replacement through no-confidence votes, against the possibility of indecisiveness and paralysis due to changing leadership.

One of the most striking things in France in the 30's was that the political factions were almost evenly split between republicans, fascists, and communists. Governments rotated through every few months, and the indecisiveness showed when the Germans invaded in 1940.

Military-Industrial complex

Actually this does not refer to the military as much as the military contractors!!!

It was reported last week that Boehner won’t let it go to a vote if it looks like a defeat for Barry. I hope he isn’t that stupid.

I think many people misunderstand the concept of "Military-Industrial Complex". It seems to me that Eisenhower was worried about the big money of Big Government becoming too closely aligned with Big Business. That's crony capitalism. It's Fascism.

The USAF and Boeing would be one example, sure -- but the Department of Agriculture and Monsanto are really the same problem.

What we have now is what Eisenhower warned us about, and the military is just one aspect of it. Too much money in government -- it corrupts all corporations because they all want a piece of the pie. Businessmen do favors for politicians, politicians do favors for businessmen. We The People get screwed.

The fun has left for him , problems are getting worse and the media is beginning to turn on him. If he could he would just walk away. His agenda is beginning to go the way of his popularity. Obama is officially a lame duck. He has very little actual power since his polls are headed south and the rats won’t volunteer to be thrown under the bus. All eyes will turn to Hilary in the next year and he will be subjugated to the back pages of the news where he will come face to face with where his Presidency will be for all ages. His only mark will be that he was the first black president. His trademark legislation is hated by the majority, even the precious unions a have turned on it. In short he is mediocre at best and incompetent and treacherous at the worst!!!

The protesters are carrying weapons grade signs. The manufactured sticks are long enough to be used as weapons against police.

The "protestors" are A.N.S.W.E.R....a bunch of "Workers World Party" Communists.

This should be Waterloo, not just for Obama but for his party’s agenda, along with his GOP-e stooges. What a sorry past five years.

The coalition of the willing is now down to the US alone as France now wants to wait for more data on alleged gas usage. Yet, President Obama rejects G20 pressure to abandon Syria air strike plan.

He and his were the chorus leaders when Bush was making a case for war. They laughed and mocked the quagmire he was getting us into by being a cowboy. It's ironic that Bush got bi-partisan/UN/30 nation backing and Zero can't even get his own side on his side.

///////////////////////////

Having proved himself — along with his sidekicks, Cantor and McCarthy — to be Obama’s sock-puppet on virtually every issue of importance, should not Boehner be immediately cast removed by the Republicans as Speaker?

At this time, there is no de facto ‘opposition party leadership in Congress — just a few brave men, such as Lee, Cruz, and Paul in the Senate, and Amash and others in the House.

Someone has called it the “uniparty.”
