I know in some indoor venues the placed two flat screens in the back of the room to avoid TOTUS begin seen.

[Gritty]

We’re going to attack... but maybe we are NOT going to attack...?

[bunster]

Don’t know — the teeth might be in his pocket — he looks rather grim and, too, “oh so serious.”

[Dog]

HE BLINKED FOLKS.....this is a disgrace!!!

[mulder1]

YAWN

[Jedidah]

Defense knows the game is on. They’re mostly wacthing from the bench.

[Rodamala]

I assure you, Dolly’s are quite real.

[TomGuy]

Headline you will NEVER see: Obama turns French.

[Red_Devil 232]

Yep! He ain’t going to do a thing about it. Just more Hot Air!

[Yaelle]

“Make no mistake” - Drink!!

[nascarnation]

That phone call was from Putin....

[Starboard]

His usual modus operandi. Blame someone else.

[machogirl]

For some reason I am getting an intense desire to clean the cat’s litter box.

Obama is turning over the decision to Congress. He understands that the vast majority of Americans are against the attack. Polls matter. Obama wants to be loved. He can push the responsibility to Congress and no matter what it decides, he can claim a personal victory. Obama votes present.

[Yaelle]

The reason this took so long was to get the speechwriter s through their episodes of vomiting

[Severa]

Yet Bush still gets blamed by lefties for “Lying about Iraq” and “leading us into illegal wars” by liberals. It’s like Alice in Wonderland times about a billion.

[cajungirl]

He is coenered! Sure he blinked, He had to. Attacking was horrid idea.

[Gritty]

"I will take this case to Congress..."

I thought he had already made the decision to use military force?
