Wow, Obama said this? Fox News

[Sly]

I really can't believe Obama said this.

"We may or may not be upset. Please give me a week to consult with my friends in Congress. If we decide that we are upset, be warned, we will wreak havoc! But if we decide that we are not upset, sorry for the trouble, we hope you have a nice weekend."

Someone was messing with his teleprompter again..

Honestly. I'm not surprised at all.
I long ago faced the facts that Obama was able to do things by "floating the middle".
I could criticize him, but it's not like there is really a choice. His choice is to win.
Obama is not in any position to "win" with a solo opinion.
But is that new? When Bush said he would go it alone, did that turn out perfect? No.

Which part was "alone"

Actually Bush didn't "go it alone".

There was a coalition of countries. But as always...it's the U.S. with the most shit involved.

And both houses of Congress voted for it too. They are all idiots.

It's a catch22 going in and he knows it. America is a fickle bunch when it comes to their president, and the rest of the world is a fickle bunch about America.

People are constantly saying "yeah? Well what would McCain have done? What would Romney have done?" when the real question might be "after 2016, what will HILLARY do?"

:D

Maybe that was code to the troops, to blast the fuck out of Syria...

"We may or may not be upset. Please give me a week to consult with my friends in Congress. If we decide that we are upset, be warned, we will wreak havoc! But if we decide that we are not upset, sorry for the trouble, we hope you have a nice weekend."

More like:

"The majority may or may not be upset. Please give me a week to consult with my friends in Congress. If the majority decides that we are upset, be warned, we will wreak havoc! But if we decide that most of us are not upset, sorry for the trouble, we hope you have a nice weekend."

To paraphrase:


"We will embrace this attack on Syria. Support it from our lands in the north. I will gain American favor by condemning it, and ordering it opposed from our lands in the south."

[seeandsee]
