Let’s twist again!
Earlier this week, the certifiably insane Ed Schultz falsely asserted that conservatives are pushing for war in Syria. Now, it’s Cenk Uygur‘s turn:
Obama has a clear out of Syria bombing given the UK vote. But he won't take it. More scared of what GOP hawks are going to say about him.

So … Obama would totally not even think about bombing Syria if it weren’t for those meddling “GOP hawks” torturing his spirit. Um, what?
Obama political calculation: More concerned about what Lindsay Graham will say about him than what can go wrong in Syrian conflict.

When did Obama suddenly become frightened of squishy Lindsey Graham?
. @LDoren GOP are the ones pushing hardest to do the bombing and will be ones criticizing the loudest afterward.

Except most in the GOP are against military action in Syria.
Uygur’s nuts, but to his credit, unlike Schultz, at least he’s got a few marbles left upstairs:
Pres. should get congressional authorization for Syria. It's constitutional thing to do, puts responsibility on Congress & more democratic.
— Cenk Uygur (@cenkuygur) August 30, 2013
Abiding by the Constitution is what the president is supposed to do. So good call on that one, Cenk.
. @FilmCriticOne I wish that we're true. But I've never known Obama to not put politics first. #Syria

Definitely can’t argue with that.
