Obama's speech to the nation on Syria - 9 PM (9/10/13)

He will say that he will give the Russian proposal a chance to give peace a chance, because he's peaceful.

Obama announced he was requesting a delay of a vote he was sure to lose. It was unclear whether the delay is until he can win the vote for his Goldilocks initiative, designed to change nothing except the use of chems to kill innocent civilians as opposed to conventional weapons, or until the Russian initiative dies because the quid pro quo that Putin suddenly added as a codicil is to hand Syria over to Russia as it were, protecting its client tyrant, Assad. It was perhaps the most bizarre full dress, prime time on all the networks POTUS speech in my memory. It might have been more interesting if he chatted about his golf handicap for 20 minutes.
