That is like saying it' not my problem. it's America's problem, it's the republicans problem. Blame everything on everyone else. He's the Commander in Chief and has no clue how to handle this crisis in the Middle East.
I think Obama would love to read in the NY Times "For the First time in history, Congress led by republicans denies the President. And after that it will be racist republicans denied President. Obama is counting on a no vote in the house so he can get this headline. Nothing is about what the American people want. It's all about HIM.
Obama puts in charge of trying to sell us the use of force one of the biggest anti-war protestors ever.
The only enemy Obama is out to destroy is US !! And we are watching the country unfold right in front of our eyes. My God, what chance do our children have ? Not even the President takes responsibility for this own actions. How sad

Right after each of the last two elections, in the unnamed forum, I was told by posters who knew how I opposed this President, that I need to suck it up and understand who is in charge. That I need to support him because HE is the President. That was said to rile me up, and as sad as the meaning of that and intent was, it is true.
It is difficult to ignore what has happened over the years and especially in the lazy, uninvolved foreign policy toward anything that does not serve a political purpose.
Having said that, I do not think there is anything to gain by opposing this resolution as presented. I will support him on this limited action, and hope he learns that saying things does not make them true. There has to be facts to back them up no matter how smart you may think you are.
No matter who, he will leave (after congress fixes also health care), and we will still be the USA. I do not want my country to be viewed as the rest of the world is viewing us now and not backing the President, whomever that is, will simply make us open for more ridicule and in the long run, to me, more danger.
