If the Dems lose control of the Senate, Obama would face a Congress united against him.
Things could get nasty.
So Obama needs to stop being a hindrance to Democrat Senatorial hopes.
Of course if it is judged that "war" against the I.S. is not enough, we could always have a civil defense emergency and martial law before the elections.
Am I the only one who senses that Obama has been manipulated into this by the Islamic State?
