The 2007 version of Obama was quite clear that if he bombed Syria he would be off to Gitmo

The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.

– Barack Obama – December 20, 2007

The Tuesday version of Obama was quite clear that the Constitution didn’t apply to him

Military strikes on Syria ‘as early as Thursday,’ US officials say

The Saturday version of Obama is a confused spoiled child who doesn’t want admit that he was wrong, but also doesn’t want to get spanked

President Obama said Saturday he’ll go to Congress for approval before launching a strike against Syria, but he also made it clear that he doesn’t believe he needs anyone else’s permission.

Q : Which Obama will appear next week?

A : The one who thinks that the whole world revolves around him

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Bake the cake until the meringue peaks are golden, about 4 minutes, or brown the meringue with a blowtorch. Let the cake soften at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Freeze any leftovers.

Odd that the rowers didn’t see any of David Barber’s decayed ice in the Arctic.  All that they saw was the regular kind of ice, which almost capsized their boat.

Perhaps David Barber could weigh in and explain where all the thin, rotten, decayed ice is located?

I have a pretty high tolerance, but this is almost enough to get my barf bag out.

At the Last Minute, Obama Alone Made Call to Seek Congressional Approval

After a 45-minute walk Friday night, President Barack Obama made a fateful decision that none of his top national security advisers saw coming: To seek congressional authorization before taking military action in Syria.

Aides said the decision was made by Mr. Obama and Mr. Obama alone. It shows the primacy the president places on protecting his hoped-for legacy as a commander in chief who did everything in his power to disentangle the U.S. from overseas wars. Until Friday night, Mr. Obama’s national-security team didn’t even have an option on the table to seek a congressional authorization.

Mr. Obama made no secret to aides he felt uncomfortable acting without U.N. Security Council backing

The US Constitution actually says that only Congress has the authority to start wars – not the UN Security Council and not the president. You would think that a Constitutional law scholar like Obama might have actually read the Constitution at some point in his life.

In other words : our imbecile dictator, who is forbidden by law to start a war, suffered yet another synapse malfunction.

Obama is going to have to buy a lot of carbon offsets for his California buds.

Massive Yosemite blaze may have been sparked by illegal marijuana growers

The massive forest fire that has scorched 333 square miles in and around Yosemite National Park may have been sparked by illegal marijuana growers, according to one fire official in Tuolumne County.  The San Jose Mercury News reports that Todd McNeal, chief of the Twain Harte Fire Department, told a community meeting that it was “highly suspect that there might have been some sort of illicit grove, a marijuana-grow-type thing.”

McNeal, who has 23 years of experience with Forest Service, the National Park Service and other agencies, said at the Aug. 23 meeting that investigators know the fire is human caused since there was know lightening in the area.
