Obama's Speech

[Townhallsavoy]

Missed it.  Was reading about football instead. 

But for those that saw it or have read about it, would you say this is accurate:

Krauthammer said, “That’s what makes this one of the most odd presidential speeches ever delivered. Here’s a president who urgingly addresses the nation on all channels to call for a pause in something that the nation does not want to do in the first place. This is almost unbelievable.”

Also, I've read that Obama's reasoning for wanting to bomb Syria and even his explanations sound almost identical to Bush's reasoning and explanations for the Iraq War.

He's getting some real shitty advice on how to handle this thing.  He could have come out of this looking like the noble warrior who was held back from "doing the right thing".  Instead, he seems to be changing his stance hour by hour. 

Gassing tons of people is an atrocity.  You lead the charge in taking your case to the UN.  If they don't back you when it happened in their own back yard, at least you tried and told the world you were prepared to step in.  Don't go rogue and say we'll do it ourselves...no we won't...wait...yes we will....okay, everyone chill out.

Hard to get good advice from a bunch of liberal, pacifist, academics that he surrounds himself with

That too.

Plus, would dropping a bunch of bombs on Syria not cause a negative effect on the global climate.  Them bombs are hot as hell.

I sing on this AM to "Obamao makes compelling case on Syria".

And I think to myself, "Compelling. Compelling to who? Some damn moron liberal with an IQ under 70?"

Nixon was impeached for way less incompetency!
