Kass: As Obama stumbles on Syria, his allies doggedly spin
Chicago Tribune ^ | 9/8/2013 | John Kass

Posted on 09/08/2013 9:44:24 AM PDT by mojito

...[W]atching President Barack Obama stumble through his news conference from the G-20 summit last week and trying to talk us into war with Syria, I couldn't help thinking about dogs.

It was a stupid thought, yes, but I didn't put it there. One of the president's men put it there. A guy named David Axelrod, who brought it up on Twitter.

Axelrod, the Democratic mouthpiece of Chicago mayors, is the guy who aligned himself with an inexperienced Illinois legislative back-bencher and ended up installing him in the White House.

And after the president announced he would seek congressional approval for military strikes against Syria, Axelrod signaled his journalists by spinning them a tweet.

"Big move by POTUS," read Axelrod's tweet. "Consistent with his principles. Congress is now the dog that caught the car. Should be a fascinating week!"

Consistent with his principles? Like the drone strikes? Like the NSA surveillance? Like the IRS investigations of conservative groups? Like no answers about the dead from Benghazi? All those principles?

And when the ‘dog that caught the car’ votes no to boy Obama’s inexplicable need to kill Assad, what happens then Axelrod?

Go back to making those sleezy 50s porns you like should be doing your greasy haired SOB.

I have actually enjoyed watching all the leftist pundits trying to make a case for starting another war after all their years of “Bush lied”.

WHOA!
As a portrait artist, I’m sharply attuned to facial features and expressions.

“Eyes are the window of the soul...” whatever that soul may be.

Upon looking at those photos (really quite disturbing) I may have to rethink my ideas on reincarnation!

” Inexplicable need to kill Assad”

That is the thing. Zero is not going to kill Assad. He is only going to lob a few million + ,issiles across the bow
the POS directly says he isn’t removing Assad
OR even taking out the chems Assad supposedly used.

If he wee I might think about it
but what he is doing is stupid and only a cover for his ineptness

Re your post #14

Graphic evidence that history does indeed repeat itself.

Yep, the media, by and large is scrambling to kiss their master’s butt.

I’m not so sure he’s not going to try to kill Assad. The law says we can’t kill the leader of another nation. But what happens if we “accidentally” kill one with a missile strike. “Oh, we didn’t mean to kill him.”

Did you catch Judge Jeanine Pirro’s show last night? Former General Wesley Clark of leftist bent said that the US should bomb Syria to ‘make a statement’. What kind of idiot says that and a former General no less. Just WTH would that ‘stetement’ be and what would it accomplish? What a suck up putz along with former Gen. Betrayus.....Barry ash kissers. No doubt.

It isn’t about Assad. It’s about destroying Israel.

What did Obama allow to happen to Khadafi? To Mubarek? Even to Morsi?

The MSM should be getting paid to work for the Progressive-Democats who run everything these days—oppose them at your peril.

John Kass took over the column previously written by Mike Royko. It's like wearing Ernie Banks' #14 or Dick Butkus' #51.

Royko was my education in how things work in Chicago, and what sleazy actually means. Royko wrote about the "Great Dumpling" trying to get seated at the 1968 Democrat convention, and "Senator Smudge", and Paul Powell, the Illinois Secretary of State who had shoeboxes full of $100 bills in his closets, which could not be traced back to anywhere.

Royko also wrote about the Chicago City Council, and provided the slogan that they should make official for them, "Ubi Mea".
