Why did Obama go to congress for an ok to attack Syria?

So he can blame republicans when it goes badly for us.

Well, it's always good to get broad support for military action. It makes us appear stronger abroad, and shows the enemy that this isn't just the whim of a single leader, who will be out of office in a few years.

You say that if they vote no, it looks like he is going to do it anyway. That's interesting --- what leads you to that conclusion?

Obama is wrong he does need approval, the constitution demands it

art 2 section 8. you should read it

Because they asked him to.

Very famous letter now.

I will find it for those of you not paying attention.

So he wouldn't shoulder the blame should something go wrong.

So, now you're criticizing him for trying to follow the Constitution and ask for Congressional approval?? Unbelievable...

Low testosterone.

That way if it goes bad he can blame congress. O'Bama takes responsibility for nothing bad.

Simple he wants them to tell him no so he can point his finger at someone else instead of standing up and admitting his mistake.

So that he would look good and have somebody to blame if things go wrong.

Because Brawndo has what plants crave.
