I'm willing to bet that right now Barry is scrambling for any way to save face; IMHO it's way too late, he painted himself into a corner and now he is going to have to face the proverbial music.
The upside? Barry is not only exposed for the amateur fraud that he is, he did it to himself and now he'll either invent some new reason that makes this situation is not his fault or fall on his sword (and we all know that ain't gonna happen). Be on the look out for a statement that Congress and the GOP forced his hand and that it's their fault he didn't strike; no reason to go in to the War Powers Act and how he used that to justify strikes in Libya and Egypt - I guess those situations were different (NOT).
The downside? The sheep and the zombies will leap in front of the truth to defend Barry on the pretense that those who oppose their Messiah are racists, homophobes (not sure how that will be incorporated into the argument but wait and see, it will come up), and contrarians who care nothing for our Republic and her people but will do any and everything to contradict Barry and other Democrats.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford

I think you guys got off topic. I am still worried, regardless of the Russian leader, our govt still wants some kind of war to run and soon. Putin seems like the only one willing to play the game to avoid war vs. the opposite. I think Obama thinks that if he can start a war, that he can stop it soon and Americans will be back on track to support nation building with lots of targeted conflicts like the last 50 years. Risky, because wars are hard to stop, but those in power are delusional, think they are in control of all of us. We often forget quickly too.
They want it and they will get it eventually, another war in Syria or Iran or whereever. Right now those that make the guns are paying and soon they will have paid enough and the war will start. They only need to pay for congressional vacations, we then pay for the actual war, and die for it too.
There is an option, we could just start paying the govt not to have war, just like the weapon makers pay them to make war. Believe it or not, we do have more money than them, even more expendable money.
Just imagine the citizens lobby if we just put the money we have invested in smartphones into influencing our govt against war. We would have it sealed. Too bad we picked smart phones....and would do it all over again.

The government (this one anyway) has an insatiable appetite for tax dollars, so there could never be enough. As for Obama wanting a war, I don't think he does. I do believe he is clueless as to what comes out of his mouth until it's too late (see "red line" comment)... his words forced his hand as to not make the US (or more likely himself) look weak. But Obama doesn't understand that you can't just start lobbing a few bombs and not call it war. He also doesn't seem to understand that there are enemies of the US on both sides of the civil war and the logistics of pinpointing where/who to help in beyond our ability. For once he just needs to man-up, admit he f@@ked up, and fold his hand.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
