Obama tells Congress not to listen to the American people

[merl]

"It's conceivable that, at the end of the day, I don't persuade a majority of the American people that it's the right thing to do," Obama said in response to a question from ABC News during a solo press conference at the conclusion of the G20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.
But, Obama said, members of Congress need to consider the lessons of World War II and their own consciences and vote 'yes' to authorize the use of force, even if it means going against the opinion of the majority of their constituents.

What is the link between Syria and the lessons of WW2?

I hope that's not where he's going with it because they are not even close to the same thing.

Once again he clearly doesn't respect the position of his office nor those of Congressional offices.... They are in those elected positions to represent their constituents. That is the bottom line. If they do not perform that duty, and knowingly and outspokenly do the opposite, they are nothing short of treasonous against this country. We the people ARE the country for Christ's sake. Going against the people, is going against this country....

Is he talking about the Nazis partnering with Muslims and creating the one of the first terrorist organizations?

Yeah, there's a lesson to be learned in there BHFO.

Man I hate for him to keep this trend going.

I agree, but I can't help but hope he points fingers and gets called out for his stupidity by more and more Americans. Wouldn't that just be delightful. His own followers turning their backs on him?

I've been seeing & hearing about several "Kool-Aid" drinkers taking their heads out of the punch bowl long enough to sober up. They are starting to see the light, albeit very slowly. Obastard thinks he has his supporters completely brainwashed to believe he can do no wrong. I believe his is so full of himself that he truly believes that crap that spews from his pie-hole. He's proven time and time again with his "executive orders" that he doesn't give 2 shits what Congress or the American people want/think...he'll do whatever he damn well pleases anyway. Honestly shocked he's just not taking this approach with Syria. Although...I'm sure it won't be long before he gets tired of trying to "convince" or "beg" for permission from Congress and just says, "Fuck it, I'm the great King, Messiah, Powerful Almighty and all ye shall bow down and do as I say!!!!" This country is in for a really, really long 3 years & 116 days.

I didn't know they were listening to begin with.
