Ingenious Strategy by The Obama Admin or Not To Let the Do Nothing Congress Decide Syrian Strike???

From The N Y Times!
The Obama Administration Wants Military Strike Against Syria, But Will Seek Congressional Approval. (President) Obama said the Congressional leadership planned to hold a debate and a vote as soon as both houses come back in September. He said he had the authority to act on his own, but believed it is important for the country to have a debate.

@Jen

I have been telling the audience here that the "CIA data" is derived from Israel's IDF Mossad and there is no-smoking gun evidence that indicates the Syrian government has initiated this attack. However as President, Obama has to show some resolution or be viewed as weak domestically and internationally.

He needs a face-saving way out of this mess..... this will allow the Republicans not to vote for force and he can blame it on them. It allows the Republican leadership to wait until the UN Report {Report will not be available for two weeks approximately} is released and based on that report whatever they vote on will be the responsibility of the International Agency.

Next time Obama will learn not to be so careless.... I have talk to many so-called white people and they would love to see his head served on a platter. One of my accountant associates that is affiliated with a law practice told me that he voted for him the first time based on his political vision and goals. However this second time around he voted for Republicans because Obama's cabinet is surrounded primarily of "idealists" , not truly experienced in foreign policy and some domestic issues like the Obama Care legislation that has forced accountants to take additional CME courses to advise clients about very confusing statutes in the legislation.

Do you know that the Federal subsidies will last for only two years and then the States will be required to pay for the subsidies thereafter. The States are already underwater with Medicaid payments and now this??????... The demographic realities of the aging populace will render the States unable to support this subsidy unless they raise taxes dramatically!!!

My thoughts DEAR!

..." One of my accountant associates that is affiliated with a law practice told me that he voted for him the first time based on his political vision and goals. However this second time around he voted for Republicans because Obama's cabinet is surrounded primarily of "idealist',..."

Precisely my exact same sentiments! I voted for the President in 2008, but did chose not to for the second election. I'm so put out as I have for long with the Democratic Party. President Obama is also an Idealist and I see the hand stamp of his mother's Utopian ideology imprinted on him.

And regards to health care, it's only going to worsen before it can get better. Definitely taxes will rise, but homely not as much as in Canada!

Auto speller again! Hopefully not as high (taxes) like in Canada! Taxes in Canada are RIDICULOUS and the health care sucks!

No that will lead to a revolt and perhaps violence or great political opposition.

The system will crash and then the option will be a "National Healthcare Plan", let's make sure we follow the German, Dutch, Swiss, or Austrian plans which in my opinion are the best in the world.
We have to start paying physicians by the number of people they keep healthy not by head count......

Wellness and Preventive Care is one of the solutions!

@Saint,


You sound like the Prophet of Doom,eh! The United States is a blessed Nation with people praying for it to succeed. The present health care system is faulty, but it has led the in the race of better health care and life saving procedures throughout the world. Our nations perform operations of poor and needy from all of the world and is also has many people coming here to pay good money for our advanced healthcare procedures.

I think this is also why our system has run away health care costs which are probably the most expensive in the world.

We need to find a way to bring down the costs without doing so at the expense of advancing health care with technology. This is my fear that our research and our advances will slow down with these ACO's and bean counters.

@ Bro. Rob,

Let's see what the 'Do Nothing' Congress will or won't do concerning Syria. (Wink-Wink)

@Jen

No prophet of doom and my accountant associates and physicians knows that the current health system is not sustainable from a fiscal point of view. We spend nearly 20% of GDP on healthcare far exceeding other nations. The very reason the AMA and many corporate executives supported "The Affordability Act" because they feared the system collapsing under it's own weight and then Congress would vie for a British or Canadian option in desperation.

Actually I like the system however we need to have some intelligent cost-saving initiatives.

If we want the current system as it is in intact we have to pay for it. However since America has positioned themselves as a global cop and the military industrial complex feeds off the profits of charging the government excessively for many of their worthless products.

So the nation must decide either to cut spending particularly around defense, and other entitlement programs. Because in real terms adjusted for inflation our Gross Domestic Product in real terms has only grown 1-2 percent over the last three decades while spending has far exceeded the growth of the economy.

So I'm a "ECONOMIC" realist and there is no free lunch at all.

The US will learn to live within it's means very soon!

Yaiqab again KNOWS that Economy will guide the Sequestered Congress

and the debt of simpleARSED bombingRaids is too much for US in USA

Ha!

CNN Breaking News
Saudi Arabia called Sunday for international action in Syria. "The Syrian regime has crossed all the lines with its tyranny. ... It's time for us to ask International community to carry its responsibility and put an end to this tragedy that is entering its third year," Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said at a meeting of Arab League foreign ministers in Cairo.

"The Syrian regime has lost its legitimacy within the Arab world and internationally," he said.
The Saudi stance came as the Obama administration pushed forward Sunday on a new path toward military action in Syria, urging Congress to support the president's call.

Announcing that evidence collected independently of a United Nations probe shows Syria used sarin gas in an attack on its people, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States has to act. "If you don't do it, you send a message of impunity," he said in an interview with CNN's "State of the Union."

Saint,

Thanks for the clarification; however, Canada'sGDP spending is around 35-40% and their Health Scheme s also doomed to implode in on itself if they don't fix it, too. I heard that the French has a system that allows for Private and Govt Insurance. I really don't believe that Govt can truly fix health care. It's up to private enterprises to do so, but they won't because of greed.
It's a real catch 22.
