And 100% rebel sympathizer with her various group affiliations.
Why shouldn't we simply believe everything the government tells us?
The Syrian Emergency Task Force, the pro-rebel lobbying outfit that employs widely quoted intervention advocate Elizabeth O’Bagy as its political director, receives funding from the U.S. Department of State and related government contractors.
That's one thing I've noticed here. Most of the people who put every new sentence on a new line, not using paragraphs, are conservatives.
I have noticed that some are fond of quadruple spacing when they have little to say - probably to use up space and be more imposing. Must be because "size is important", or it is the online equivalent of bullying. Hey, I know about them because I have 'em in my family.
Attempting to portray Obama as "dictator", they conveniently leave Congress out of the picture because obstructionist repubs are in control there and are responsible for most of our problems. Their views on Syria or any other issue, but especially Obama, are dictated to them by the self-validating race-baiting simplistic easy-to-grasp doctrine doled out by the likes of Limbaugh and Fox - "America's Newsroom".
Notice the crazed over-the-top Obama-hate throughout the discussion of Syria, while at the same time congressional repubs are perplexed about what to do. On the one hand they want to obstruct Obama in whatever he does, but on the other they and their corporate RW base love war. Oh, what to do...?
Um, no. Lincoln Administration means Lincoln's literal administration. Same with the other presidents' admins. Yes, we might characterize foreign policy as seen by non Americans as "Obama's administration."
But otherwise you are mistaken.
Um, no.
"Administration" can be used to refer to just the executive branch. Or it can be used more broadly to refer to the actions of the federal government under a President. Which we do when we talk about Lincoln's administration. We don't talk about acts of Congress under Lincoln as being separate and distinct from Lincoln's administration. We see government as a cohesive whole, with parts that work together. And in that sense, the acts of the legislature are deemed part of an administration's legacy. The fact that the branches are designed to have tension between them does not take away from the fact that they are also designed to work together. The cognitive ease of identifying what happens during a Presidency as part of that Presidency lends itself to identifying the cohesive acts of the federal government with that President. While scholars may distinguish between the 22nd Congress and 38th Congress, in general people do not.
Do you DENY that there are 3 distinct and separate branches of the US government? That is the only question here.
If you do....you're wrong.
If you don't then admit I'm right and slink away in defeat.

I could just as easily demand that you DENY that the legislature is bicameral. That's not even a question here, nor is there any question about the branches of the federal government.
And I never "slink away in defeat."
Once again, please refrain from trying to belittle and insult people, and actually engage in addressing the points.
This LexusNexus character is obviously just that, a character. Someone is deliberately creating dumba$$ posts to mkae liberals and Obama supporters look bad. They don't really need any help doing that though.
Did anyone else nothice the funbags on Lisa in that video?

Lol....maybe YOU do but that would be wrong.
FDR needed Pearl Harbor to convince CONGRESS to declare war on Japan. See how that works?
I find it funny how the right have been swooning over their new idol, Vladimir Putin. You guys hate Obama so much that you would rather look to Putin as your champion in something he was clearly forced to do unless he wanted to see Syria attacked.

I don't hate Obama half as much as I hate his supporters.
It's true. If you see a strange man wearing a Putin mask lurking in your bushes this Halloween there's a good chance it could be me!

Oh yeh. Obama clearly has the upper hand
