Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe last few days that pundits and Trump are blaming Pres Obama for the current
situation in Syria! "Obama did nothing when Syria crossed the "red line" and used chemical weapons on civilians there in 2013.", these a$$holes complain... "What's going on today in Syria is Obama's fault!", they'll say. "Trump is dealing with Obama's mess!", these phuckers will claim.
Chances are, you will hear your Fox watching co-workers say something similar at the water cooler tomorrow...
Be ready to remind these character assassins of this - Obama wanted to take military action in Syria after the "red line" was crossed but turtle-faced Sen Mitch McConnell and Speaker Paul Ryan threatened to IMPEACH Pres O if he took military action without Congressional authorization.
And when Pres O then asked for Congressional authorization for military action, those republican phuckers went on Recess and never brought the issue to a floor for a vote!
Below are some articles you can use to refresh your memories...

(11,119 posts)Rebut these folks, politely, and tell them that they are spouting revised history when they blame Obama in this matter...
Also, when Trump states that it was stupid of Obama to announce when the US was planning to withdraw from Iraq, folks should be reminded that it was W Bush who agreed to the withdrawal during his administration and that's when the withdrawal date was originally announced... I'm sick of the ph#ckers and their BAD memories! SAD!

Watched how the talking points from the Right Wing and Military Industrial Complex were amplified via Fox Noise over a decade. Obama did not have a chance. But,have to hand it to him for trying with Impeachment Threats coming almost daily form the so called Freedom Caucus. BTW,should be called what they really are,the KKK.

Trump is not a leader, he is afraid to govern, that's why he tosses out tweets and makes irrational, snap judgements instead of making actual policies and legislation. At some point fairly soon he is going to hit a brick wall and realise he can't continue hiding his incompetence hiding behind past presidents.
