Obama announces bombs for Syria, goes golfing

  I've started a post several times in the last two days, only to halt myself in disgust. This is not because I have nothing to say about the MLK50 event or the prospect of entering another war front in Syria.
  It's because I've reached a point where I'm so saturated with bad news, whining Leftists and Nannies who are trying to run my life that I just need to step back, hands up, and declare, "You all suck. I want nothing to do with you."
  Around here, to be honest, all anyone cares about is the kickoff of The Ohio State football season so to get myself all worked up about, I dunno, getting involved in war in the Middle East seems like Tyrannosaurus Rex's squiggly little arms trying to box with the many armed Indian goddess Kali.
  So today we watched the COCKiest POTUS in the history of the United States swagger--cowboy like-- toward a podium and announce that, when he feels like it and after he travels Sweden and the world on AF1 at $180,000 per hour--and when Congress decides it's time to end their vacation on foreign beaches, he's going to drop a few bombs on Syria because--though he doesn't NEED to ask anyone about dropping those bombs-- he feels it is inkeeping with who we are as Americans. 
  The protesters in the background might disagree.
  But why would Obama do this, particularly after sending Kerry out to solemnly proclaim a strike is imminent? Is it because this way he can shift blame and scold the Congress, which requires 60 votes, when they turn him down?
  Or is it because he is in thrall to his buddies the Muslim Brotherhood, who have put him in a difficult situation by demanding assistance? It appears that Obama has direct ties to the Muslim Brotherhood which some have called conspiracy theory.
  Human Events describes earlier connections to the Brotherhood, a known terrorist group which Obama has supported in Egypt:
So why isn’t Obama working to limit the Brotherhood’s scope and influence?  Maybe because he doesn’t really have a problem with the Brotherhood, despite its hostility to America.  He made sure to invite Brotherhood leaders to attend his notorious speech to the Islamic world in Cairo, Egypt, in June 4, 2009.  Starting in the earliest days of his administration, he showed an intense desire to establish friendly ties with Brotherhood-linked organizations—despite the Brotherhood’s stated goal of “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.”
Obama first reached out to the Brotherhood when he chose the leader of a Muslim Brotherhood-linked group that had been named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case to give a prayer during his inauguration ceremonies.  Ingrid Mattson, then-president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), offered this prayer at the National Cathedral on Obama’s Inauguration Day—despite the fact that the ISNA has admitted its ties to the Brotherhood.  The previous summer, federal prosecutors rejected a request from the ISNA to remove its unindicted co-conspirator status.
  This situation of using WMD on Syrian citizens is now so urgent that WE are going to give the Syrians plenty of time to hide their weapons and further abuse their own people before we take action to stop the terrible abuse.
  And it's so nice to know that 5 of our ships are sitting offshore, waiting for the Commander in Chief to get back from his Sweden trip, and that Marines are on those ships in spite of the "no ground forces" guarantee.
  We're broke? So what. It's a half a billion dollars to launch this strike; every day we wait costs more money. One and a half million dollars per bomb. 
  It appears at this time that we are not certain that the Syrian government even launched the WMD; indeed it may have been the Muslim Brotherhood.  
  Even al Jazeera has been caught faking "strikes" by Israel or others on the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Syria or wherever it was politically expedient. To assume that the terrorist branches of the Islamic "faith" are naive about Western sympathies and emotions is to be naive yourself. Islamists are experts at twisting political correctness to their advantage and utilizing cyber warfare to bring down the economy or acquire intel. (This is not to say the attacks were faked-simply that extreme dishonesty and a casual treatment of life are characteristic of the Muslim Brotherhood who are, well, terrorists.)
  Considering that Assad was winning, what would be the motivation of the Syrian government to use WMD? 
  Isn't it more likely that, as Walid Shoebat says, the Muslim Brotherhood are responsible for having committed this execrable act on the Syrian people?
  And what the heck's the point of "firing a shot across the bow" when the world knows Obama will never do more?
   The American people should be leery of any government entity pushing to take dramatic and drastic action immediately...before the truth and consequences are completely known. Witness the Oct 2008 bailouts, which have only served to lengthen our current recession and decay the structure upon which this capitalistic economy is based.
  The truth is that once again this president is assuaging the desires of an important constituency, in this case the Muslim Brotherhood, who have spent considerable time courting this president in addition to his natural proclivities.
  Heck, when even Liberal Marxists decry the influence of Muslim Brotherhood terrorists on this White House and Obama, we know we're in trouble.
  So in keeping with his philosophy that he is presiding over a diminished United States, Obama has not only painted himself into a corner with his "red line" comments, but has decided that the way to really drive home his point that the Syrians better be scared--really scared--is to go golfing with Biden.
  No, really.
  We mean what we say, intones John Kerry.
  It's just that we keep saying different things.
  It's heartwarming that the Nobel Peace Prize winner was greeted with protesters, clearly screaming in the background of Obama's announcement.
  He's going over the deep end. We just don't want to go with him.
  What a mess.
  He needs his diaper changed. 
Update: 
  And BOOM:
  What did I say?
  This is why he changed course after a long walk, from CBS:

His reasoning, according to officials who were in the room? He wants members on the record, rather than simply criticizing from outside whatever action he takes.  
See, he didn't want the justifiable grief from Congress. He wants to whine and blame them for anything that goes wrong. It's blame (fill in the blank) all over again.

  1. I think he knows there would be more votes for his impeachment than he will get for his authorization for the use of force. Maybe he should have taken McCain and Graham golfing with him. I think they are about the sum total of his bipartisan support.

  2. Honestly, the whole thing is absolutely nauseating. Mitigating that nausea will be the fun of watching the heads of Leftists implode. My own is imploding so I can only imagine what a true Leftist is feeling. However, listening to callers on c-Span today, lots of the Obamabots are willing to march off the end of the earth with him, unlike Dennis Kucinich. We shall see who is really a peacenik and who's a poseur. Can you imagine if Bush....
