President Barack Obama said Wednesday he would work with Congress on new war powers to fight Islamic State militants and expressed cautious optimism about whether the international face-off over Iran's nuclear program will be resolved — two issues that could prove harder for the White House to maneuver with Republicans in charge on Capitol Hill.
Obama spoke at a news conference the day after his party was thrashed by Republicans in midterm elections, leaving the GOP soon to be in charge of both the House and the Senate.
When he approved U.S. airstrikes in late September against extremists who have captured territory across Syria and Iraq, Obama used legal grounds of congressional authorizations that President George W. Bush relied on more than a decade ago. The White House maintained then that the Bush-era congressional authorizations for the war on al-Qaida and the Iraq invasion gave Obama authority to act without new approval by Congress under the 1973 War Powers Act

“Make me dictator for life!”
He wants to deliver more weapons to ISIS via “accidental” mistaken drops.
The PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.
Sooner or later he will come to understand exactly what that means.
In other words, someone whispered in his ear...."you can't do that"!
And it's likely about MONEY. What a surprise!!
” there is some other ulterior purpose”
The ulterior motive here is to BLAME it on the GOP. He’ll ask the GOP congress to support “boots on the ground”, to fund it, and to support it. Then he’ll blame it on them so he saves face with his “Marxist”/progressive/libtard base.
But see here is the thing: Liberals kept on talking about this “war on women” thing when they were running and since we all but destroyed them in the midterms I assume we won this “war on women”? So don’t the spoils of war go to the victors? So when am I getting my topless servant women to feed me grapes, massage me and get me beer when I snap my fingers? Come on, we have to spread the wealth, how many women do I get? We won the war! I told my wife this, that she now has to serve me and she klonked me on the head with a spoon, I had to remind her the war on women was won and it’s no use for her to retaliate.
John McCain is ready to give it to Obama too, with morons like Bill Kristol cheering it on.
Accidents DO happen!
The only question here is do they happen because ISIS has too few weapons or do we have too much?
Give the man nothing except an exit...
He wants the GOP to be blamed for failure? Or the GOP to be blamed for letting Isis kill, maim, rape & conquer?
> The PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.
Sooner or later he will come to understand exactly what that means.
Too bad he can’t really “understand” it to the extent we mean it right now...
A bucket and a window squeegee.
double your effin way
Waiting for a media blitz promoting water polo. “When soccer isn’t gay enough”
There is no war on women except the ones in liberal’s heads. I haven’t seen any bunkers with men in them near NOW headquarters... If anything I think wages are up for them, opportunities are plentiful except for jobs they wouldn’t want, and they are treated better than they ever ave been as men have started pitching in and sharing household responsibilities especially when both work.
Nah “War on Women” is just a made up term by liberals to get women to vote Democrat. In fact it insults their intelligence by thinking they aren’t smart enough to see through the ruse...
> A bucket and a window squeegee.
That would be too nice for what he’s Intentionally done to destroy this country...I’d like to see the hidden videos taken by the security detail. We’d probably be very disgusted and angry after hearing what he had to say about us though. I’m pretty sure they know he’s a traitor. They’re just trying to keep their jobs. I do know someone who has a son that has worked in that capacity...: )
When did he need to work with Congress?
