In my opinion, President Obama is seeking Congressional approval for taking action against the Syrian Government because he is concerned about Impeachment. As we all know, Republicans have been looking for an excuse to Impeach him probably from day one. Were Obama to attack Syria in some way without Congressional approval or backing, it would give Republicans exactly the cause they seek to draft Articles of Impeachment against him. You see, any action against Syria without a U.N. sanction is a violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Article VI of the Constitution states:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any state to the Contrary notwithstanding.

This violation of the Constitution would clearly be Impeachable in the view of a Republican and perhaps others as well.

At this point, I would not be surprised to see Republicans work overtime to defeat the Resolution just to challenge President Obama to take action regardless that would, in the end, be Impeachable.

A Failed Candidate

Ok, Last week I finally figured out why government sucks so bad - really, it's because Republican's can't even run a convention and they are in control of more than half of the government. Yesterday, it became obvious that they are also incapable of running a campaign (well, we actually learned that a long time ago.)

So Where Were They?

Where were all the debt-paranoia freaks during 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and the first month of 2009? Where were those loud screaming voices when President Bush laid the early foundation for the auto-bailout process; when he provided the banks $800 billion in bailout money; when he invaded a nation under false pretenses and spent $1 trillion in the process; when he offered there separate massive tax cuts promising new jobs that never came while essentially defunding government; when he waged a war against a nation to target a terrorist using money borrowed from China to fund it? In the end, it was all a scam; it became a transfer of national wealth to the wealthy. In a very stealthy way, he and his big government conservatives managed to rob this nation of the $5.4 trillion they accumulated for us in added debt. This unaccountable irresponsibility helped crash our economy in 2008 and as soon as President Obama was elected, suddenly so many people cared so much about debt (or something) that they overturned our government electing a bunch of uneducated, ignorant people that supposedly represented the tea party.
