So why can't Obama do the same? I think we both know the answer..........If he gets congressional approval and things go wrong he can blame the Congress, is things go well he will take credit........He pulls that **** all the time. Clinton and Bush were willing to accept the responsibility.....Obama is not....He is a coward.

Right. And Disneydude's facts do not support you.
I care nothing of what you claim his "facts" are. You shouldn't either. But if you agree with what he typed out then rethink what actually happened back then. He just proved Bush and Clinton did not violate the war powers act, by his reasoning anyway.
Personally, I don't think that we SHOULD attack Syria. However, under the war powers act, The United States can attack a country with approval from congress. A President just cannot make the unilaterally decision to do so.
no one that's half as bright as an outlawed incandescent light bulb would do that, who the heck wants an IRS audit I'd much rather go for a root canal or a proctology exam At least there's an upside to those?unless the American People stand up
Wow, Clinton and Bush VIOLATED the war powers act and they are men for it, we're all interested in preventing Obama from committing the same crime and you say he'll be a coward if he doesn't! Some real circle reasoning Navy.
Let this president stand up and accept the responsibility for his actions.......He will never do that because it defies his far left base. Its amazing you can't see that.Wow, Clinton and Bush VIOLATED the war powers act and they are men for it, we're all interested in preventing Obama from committing the same crime and you say he'll be a coward if he doesn't! Some real circle reasoning Navy.
I think what navy is talking about is that Obama is only putting this to congress for political cover. Lord knows he doesn't accept blame for anything he does, or says.
He could do the same...but he would be violating the War Powers Act as well. Maybe we have a President that believes in following the rule of law for once.

He wipes his tush with it and then laughs at us, ya gotta give him credit for that.Obama thinks he is a King........He violates the constitution when he pleases.
My point is clear. The War powers act does not authorize a President to use military force without approval of congress except in cases where the the military force is in direct response to an attack on the United States. Obama is doing the right thing.
Obama thinks he is a King........He violates the constitution when he pleases.
Obama has already done it with Libya so it would be no problem for him to repeat the process, though 'leading from behind' with no Allies would seem more difficult this time around. He is going to Congress in order to share responsibility in the decision making process, just as he is now weaseling out of his Red Line comments.
His courage appears to be in telling ever greater lies and expecting people to continue to believe them.
Help I'm steppin' into the Twilight Zone
Place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacons been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go Now that I've gone too far
What truly bizarre reasoning. Your advocating Obama violate the law, agreeing that he did in the past and urging him to do it again!! I MUST be in the twilight zone.
He violates the Constitution all the time, why not here.......I think we both know why.
We weren't, which is exactly why Obama would need to get the approval of Congress, if he is going to follow the War Powers Act. Understand now?Really, when were we attacked?
No, i'm not advocating that. I'm saying he could because of the precedent he created in Libya, and Obama said as much during his visit to Sweden.
