I just drove down to Beverly Hills for the weekend (Swanky!) and on the way down I was thinking.... "Damned if you don't, damned if you do". This was just a no win situation. If he didn't do anything or went to Congress to give thirty days notice, this would have dragged out, ended in disaster, and the President would have looked bad. On the other hand, he moved forward with it.... And we all see what's happening.
Someone mentioned that Obama did this by executive order and it's obvious why - This way he's covered so that the Republican party cannot make a stink about it.
