Americans are merely teenagers who unexpectedly became adults. That's why there are so many problems in the world.
This is a very good example of such behavior:

In what way does a picture of Obama with his foot on a desk prove anything.....?



Maybe this picture proves that Putin is an evil warmonger who loves guns?

I could just as easily rush to judgement. Certainly a lot of my countrymen have decided that Putin is evil based on propaganda and nonsense.

What is the point? I am sorry you despise Americans so much, Paul. You also seem to place a lot of value on stereotypes. I guess if I were to judge Russians by stereotypes, I would think you all wear fur hats, wrestle bears and play the balalaika. I might also believe that all Russians are unemotional and cruel - and "that's why there are so many problems in the world."

Fortunately, I do not think like that.

I am going to ignore your further attempts at trolling.

It proves that Obama is a little boy who plays cowboy in father's private office. That's why he's in a doghouse now. And Americans too.

There are a lot of pictures where Obama is shooting. It doesn't matter.

Underscoring the division was immediate discord over the timing of Congressional deliberations on Syria, particularly the decision by the House leadership to wait until the end of the summer recess on September 9 to get going, instead of returning to Washington on Tuesday or sooner.

While the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said late on Saturday it would begin hearings next week before Congress officially returns, no similar plan had been announced by the House.

"Congress should return to Washington immediately and begin to debate this issues," said Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, considered a likely Republican presidential contender in 2016.

The president has the authority under the Constitution to call Congress back in session "on extraordinary occasions," but so can the congressional leadership. Neither so far has taken that action.

Senior administration officials said Obama left it up to congressional leaders to decide whether to bring members back early because the administration wants to do classified briefings and make the case to Congress in the week ahead, and there were logistical issues with the Labor Day holiday on Monday and religious holidays in the middle of the week.
