He has more than enough power to do anything he wants right now with no one willing to stop him. This crap doesn’t need to be rubber stamped by his butt kissing congress.

He is asking Congress to approve that which he is already doing.

I am reminded of being in high school, when you would tell a buddy to "Hold me back" while faking that you wanted to kick someone's ass.

I actually read the resolution this morning. They would be fools to pass it as written.

Right

This guy is incapable of doing anything that will reflect directly and wholly on himself.... Like all Liberals, he has NO character or resolve....

He wants to do this and he doesn’t want HIS fingerprints on it... He is your typical spineless and irresolute Liberal liar

You KNOW there is some OTHER point to this whole subterfuge and totally gratuitous exercise.

It is a trap. Zero has done exactly nothing in favor of the US. There is no reason to believe he'll start now, and every reason to believe he won't.

Congress should not give Obama a blank check because he’ll abuse his authority like he has in so many other ways.

Besides that,Obama had all of the authority he needed to attack Libya and then Syria without Congressional approval.What more does he need?and how much more treasure and American lives will he waste running an anti-terror charade.

Obama,has not been running a war since he became resident.Its all a charade to provide more weaponry to his terrorist anti-American Islamic Jihadies.

Why did he go to a Republican congress, when he has always done whatever he wanted without bothering with little things like congress or the Constitution?
Because he is insincere about eliminating IS and wants to blame the future failure on them.

Well, they ARE fools, so you can see why some of us are concerned.

He has a proven track record of changing signed into law legislation. The minute congress authorizes the act of war (because that what this is) it will be the hammer to cream the Republicans to fund everything the W.H. wants because it’s all in the war effort.

Islamic game of charades. The goal is the World.

Brief: First step is handing over the ME to Iran. Obama the Muslim Brotherhood agent as our president, our leader. Jarret the Muslim Brotherhood owners rep., and agent. The Muslim Brotherhood membership instilled in muslim Obama’s sphere of governance the court, Biden the court Jester for protection from Congress impeachment along with the threat of cells of Muslim terrorists throughout the country on moments call, and black rioting if their president is impeached.

We’ve been had. They played the White Guilt, the compassion that is America, they moved in, and their gamble won.

We are beyond the time of taking our country back without serious casualties.

Obama is just foot dragging because he doesn’t really want to defeat ISIS.

The Islam loving lefties are on the offensive against ISIS for one reason only- the hideous excesses of ISIS makes them look bad, they are a PR nightmare. Conservatives should be secretly rooting for ISIS and invite a couple dozen to the US.

Obama asks Congress to authorize U.S. war on Islamic State

‎2‎/‎11‎/‎2015‎ ‎12‎:‎35‎:‎09‎ ‎PM · 19 of 110

Uncle Miltie to Jim Robinson

“authorize military force against Islamic State that would bar any large-scale invasion by U.S. ground troops and limit operations to three years.”

VOTE NO.

This is a strategy of guaranteed FAILURE.

Do not put our boys into a war guaranteed to FAIL.

VOTE NO.
