This makes sense, if you're GEPosted By Dave Snope |
Following that line of thought, he should tax startups at 70%. After all, they are creating jobs from scratch and that is competing directly with the administration's and his party's claims that jobs are created with food stamps, welfare, and Obamacare. Oh, and, errr, "Choice Providers".

No more worries soon about Al-Qaeda, according to John Kerry:
SECRETARY KERRY: Well, President Obama is very, very sensitive and very concerned about any kind of reaction to any kind of counterterrorism activities, whatever they may be. And the President has spoken very directly, very transparently, and very accountably to our – to all of our efforts. We want to work with the Government of Pakistan, not against it.
This is a program in many parts of the world where the President has really narrowed, whatever it might be doing, to live up to the highest standards with respect to any kind of counterterrorism activities. And I believe that we’re on a good track. I think the program will end as we have eliminated most of the threat and continue to eliminate it.
QUESTION: And there is no timeline that you envisage for ending this strike?
SECRETARY KERRY: Well, I do. And I think the President has a very real timeline and we hope it’s going to be very, very soon.
Yeah, riiiigghht, John. Al-Qaeda is running scared now that we have a big peacenik like you in charge and that you've identified climate change is the true threat to the world. Or maybe it's just the true solution to redistributionists like yourself.
What about this?
The official said that the State Department was planning to have nearly all American diplomatic facilities in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia closed through the weekend, including missions in Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. In much of the Muslim world, diplomatic facilities are generally closed on Friday and Saturday, but open on Sunday.

Stay Out Of SyriaPosted By Dave Snope |
We can agree on that. Al Qaeda in Iraq has hooked up with the Al Nusra front and they vow to retaliate against the Assad regime for the chemical weapons attack. Does that put them on the same side as the U.S. if we do it too?
Anyway both Obama and Biden have said that it is unconstitutional for the president to initiate a military action with congressional approval. They would never go back on their principles just because they are in power now, right?

LOL. What an emo. The GOP won't validate his feelings about scary climate change that isn't happening, so he'll find someone who does.

Let me get this straight. Obama said that he doesn't want to change the dynamic on the ground. His admin is telegraphing the Syrian targets that they are considering politically viable. So, nothing will change and no one will be at the sites (assuming Assad doesn't bus in school children and UN inspectors).
Does this mean that Obama's plan is to "fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt"? I'm just asking, because that's what it looks like right now.

This leaves Obama with a coalition of, let's see, carry the one... one.
If only he didn't make that pesky "red line" statement...
If only he could follow the constitutional intent and have a debate and vote in congress...
LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister David Cameron has lost a vote endorsing military action against Syria by 13 votes, a stunning defeat for a government which had seemed days away from joining the U.S. in possible attacks to punish Bashar Assad’s regime over an alleged chemical weapons attack.

Oh, the words they use. Discrete. Or did he mean discreet? If he means disconnected, that sounds a lot like our foreign policy. I'm guessing that he meant to use "discretion", where few people would even notice the bombs dropping without taking their earbuds out. It won't break any china or glasses, that's too noisy. And it shouldn't leave any piles of broken masonry for the Arabs to lay a child's doll or tricycle on for the press tour. In which case, what's the point? This can only accomplish making the U.S. look bad. Maybe Obama should just sentence Assad's brother probation if he ever sets foot in the U.S. That'll be discrete. And no food stamps.
President Barack Obama is considering a small-scale attack on Syria’s government, the White House spokesman said Thursday.
“What we’re talking about here is something very discrete and limited. … We’re not talking about regime change here,” deputy spokesman Josh Earnest said today.
