The Obama administration is ramping up its outreach to Congress on a possible response to the use of chemical weapons by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces.
White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough reached House Speaker John Boehner late Monday in Idaho, where the speaker was fundraising for Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), a source familiar with the call told POLITICO. There has been staff contact between the speaker’s office and the White House, but President Barack Obama and Boehner have not spoken personally since Aug. 2.
i can understand Pres. not talking to Beohner because Beohner has not called him he wants to think he is right up there on the totem poll but he isn't, Beohners office via aide sent a disrespectful message to Pres. demanding he tell congress what he intends to do, the article said the aide demands not Beohner.he's open and they are on extended vacation like they did something to deserve it or their pay.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel signaled Tuesday that the U.S. military is prepared to respond to Obama’s orders should he decide to strike Syrian targets.“We have moved assets in place to be able to fulfill and comply with whatever option the president wishes to take,” Hagel told the BBC in an interview conducted while traveling in Brunei.
with the insertion of Saudi money maybe this can go a different way and not involve so much of us.
