Authorization of military force (AUMF) is the buzzword of the week and people are opining all over the place about what President Obama means to do with it. There is of course the obvious fight with ISIS but there is no reason the President can’t make his case before Congress to authorize the next war he craves.
Observers wonder why Mitch McConnell offers President Obama so much more power but that is exactly the point. McConnell and other Republicans have been handing over their powers to Obama like frighted children returning stolen candy.
Why should they stop Obama from further adventures with ISIS? Now that the President has armed ISIS with our weapons, maybe he thinks a ground war is fair now. We can’t have evil white America crushing jihadists in Toyota trucks with 60 year old AK-47s. They needed armored Humvees and .50 caliber rifles.
Once AM General and Browning have Obama’s favorite “moderates” armed, we are allowed to send in U.S. Troops to face the pitched battled for the sake of Obama’s legacy.
That’s why he wants his AUMF. He gets to take cover in the fact that Republicans authorized it, then he gets to act tough again and try to get it right this time, and finally he gets to punish the American military he has always loathed by making some of them die to polish his last days in office.
American warriors will sacrifice greatly against Obama-armed jihadists to build an Obama legacy.
And Mitch McConnell’s milquetoast brigade is handing it to him without a word.
Does anyone wonder why Donald Trump is leading against the establishment?

At which point they will have declared civil war against the people of these United States
This senator is what is wrong with Congress – Connecticut best take him out
I have been saying this for the last two years. And I bet it will be around July the 4th. Just a feeling. .lock and load.
Maybe we as citizens need to quit financing the Moslem and congress !!
How ? When they are all bending over backwards to help Obummer ……including Cruz & Rubio !
They did not fail, Obama bypasses congress and goes right to the senate leaving congress out of the loop. Obama has an agenda here, he sent this one to congress late on a Friday afternoon knowing not many would be there to fight it.
Really? They only wish they could. Our Constitution is in place for people just like them. DUH
Why???
Obama needs to be removed for tyranny
I knew Chris Murphy was an asshol* when he was back in Connecticut. Communist
