Four of them still on the taxpayer's back. And two campaigning to get back on it. What would we do without all of the great public servants?

What's the point here? Republicans are good, altruistic and never need to apologize? Good folk like ^cough^ Folley and Sanford ... and Haggerty and Gingrich .... and ....

Democrats are corrupt. Not a news flash. Guess what. So are Republicans. That might be a news flash to some.

I hope Congress has grown a set between 2003 and now. I hope Congress tells Obama no on Syria and I hope he listens. I doubt Congress will say no and if they by chance do, I doubt Obama will listen.

I am on my busy weekend but have not heard from the other hypocrite Hillary C. Has anyone heard what the smartest woman on earth would attempt given the circumstances . I would bet there would be no comment from her as she would possibly loose some support from a few followers no matter which way she goes. No sense in throwing her two cents even if it is for the good of the nation because it may cost a future vote.

And just exactly how did I "step in it?" At the time I started the thread BO was indicating that he would attack with no indication that he would seek congressional approval.

After his trial balloon showed that people didn't like the idea, he THEN started talking congressional approval, so that he can divert responsibility/blame. He is NOT losing his knack for knowing how to set up a situation to shift blame when necessary.

Hopefully congress will tell him to go pound sand.

That's not talking smack.

Talking smack is like...."bring it on!"

BS
That's a slogan.

Talking smack is this...."Obama warned Syrian President Bashar Assad there would be "enormous consequences" should his regime ready a biological or chemical weapons attack as a means of staying in power,"

That, ^^^ is stepping in IT, and now, along with 'Genghis Khan' Kerrey, is doing his best to start a war that has nothing whatsoever to do with America.

"What difference does it make," -after her presiding over four Americans getting slaughtered - all in real time - including an Ambassador in Libya?

Thought this guy was 'anti-war?' Sounds anti-Republican to me.

Why should an apology work? The person isn't sorry (never sorry in politics).

Personally, I never accept an apology from a politician. The original behavior shows their true persona. The apology doesn't change that fact.
An apology from a politician would be perfectly acceptable to me when, and only when it is followed by the line, " and I hereby tender my resignation form the office of __________. I will no longer serve in any political capacity. If nominated, I will not run; if elected, i will not serve."

Its also the proper thing to do. Congress has the sole authority to declare a war. There is no overriding US interest that requires an immediate response. Follow the balance of powers as specified in the Constitution.
Good move, Mr. President

Should a president not listen to the will of the electorate?
