I'm glad the president is seeking approval from congress

[whatchamacallit]

Here's hoping they hand him his hat.

1. I want those congress critters on record either way.

2. To what end?

Our current Secretary of State and his immediate predecessor both voted for Bush's Iraq War Resolution.

The House voted 416-0 and the Senate voted 98-2 in support of LBJ's phony Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.

They are all on record.

What effect has it had, doesn't seem to have damaged anyone's career.

3. So our president is not the only one in our government on record.

4. repubs in congress are shaking in their boots over the potential of this thing to

blowup in their faces and I'm damn glad! I'm sick of them never doing a godamn thing and sitting back and slamming Obama. Pin those bastards down, Mr. President...let them own this...

[Little Star]

5. Exactly!

6. I hope this is the start of the repub House's downfall. This will divide them and get them to

arguing among themselves a LOT more...may very well have a big impact in the House elections in 2014...not a moment too soon, IMO...it cannot be a good thing for them to have to go on record. Let's hope for a full train wreck for them!

7. Agree!

8. Agreed.

If "handing him his hat" means refusal.
