Well folks, pack it up, head home and await the sweet meteor of death. W e have reached peak “Thanks Obama”:

On Wednesday, Congress was so determined to pass a law to sue Saudi Arabia that it overrode President Barack Obama’s veto.

Let’s just make sure we’re clear here: Congress passed a law, President Obama strongly opposed it and vetoed it, and Congress then overrode his veto. In fact, Obama thought this law was such a bad idea that his spokesman said of it:

This is the single most embarrassing thing the United States Senate has done, possibly since 1983.

Well, now Congress is starting to decide that maybe overriding that veto wasn’t such a good idea after all:

But possible backlash against America had top Republican leaders looking for someone else to blame Thursday.

Soooooo, who do you suppose they blamed? But I jest. Of course you know who:

“I think it was just a ball dropped,” McConnell added. “I wish the president — I hate to blame everything on him, and I don’t — but it would have been helpful had he, uh, we had a discussion about this much earlier than last week.”

F ucking Constitution, how does it work?
