Could be he's backing down because this unpopularity might derail his socialist agenda before he can finish it off.
The president ignored a reporter who shouted the obvious question: What happens if Congress says no?
But senior administration officials briefing reporters at the White House later said that Obama still believes he has the legal authority to act without congressional support – meaning that a “no” vote would not necessarily handcuff his foreign policy. And they disputed that Obama risked setting a precedent that could limit the power of future occupants of the Oval Office.
PressTV: US not contemplating congressional approval for Syria strikes: Lawmaker
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.)Sat Aug 31, 2013 5:5PM
Amid fierce opposition to possible military strikes in Syria, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said on Friday that it is unlikely President Barack Obama will seek congressional approval for an attack.
In an interview with Fox News, Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) said it is unlikely the White House is “even contemplating” seeking authorization from Congress for a military strike on Syria.
“I don’t get the feeling that they’re even contemplating that. When I first had my call earlier in the week, I almost was thinking that this would already have been done,” McKeon said.
McKeon said the president should “go to the American people and the Congress” before any military intervention in Syria.
More than 100 lawmakers have signed a letter saying it would be unconstitutional for the president to take military action without getting authorization from Congress.
Meanwhile, a new NBC News poll shows that about 80 percent of Americans say Obama should receive congressional approval before using force in Syria.
The United States has released an intelligence report which concluded that Syrian government forces launched a chemical attack in the suburbs of Damascus last week, killing hundreds of civilians.
However, the Syrian government has categorically rejected the allegations that it had any role in the attack.
Syria has been gripped by deadly unrest since 2011. The Western powers and their regional allies — especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey — are supporting the militants operating inside Syria, according to reports.
According to the United Nations, more than 100,000 people have been killed and a total of 7.8 million of others displaced due to the violence.

How does a YouTube video demonstrate “rapid heartbeat?” I think Dave missed his own article saying it was "reported" (as in something separate from the videos) and later confirms physical symptoms verified by medical personnel and NGOs, and other information associated with this chemical attack.”
But, the report is problematic with the "consistent with, but not unique to..." phrase. So, not 100% certain...

WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court ruled Friday that White House visitor logs for the president and most of his staff are not public information subject to disclosure requirements of the Freedom of Information Act.
The 3-0 decision would keep the visitor records confidential for up to 12 years after President Barack Obama leaves office.
The appeals court ruling dealt a defeat to a private group that asked the Secret Service for all White House visitor logs from Obama’s first seven months in office.
“Congress made clear that it did not want documents like the appointment calendars of the president and his close advisers to be subject to disclosure” under the Freedom of Information Act, wrote Merrick Garland, chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Judicial Watch, a conservative-oriented watchdog group that sued in an effort to get the records, said it is considering an appeal.
“Decisions like this turn the Freedom of Information Act from a transparency law to a secrecy law,” said the group’s president, Tom Fitton.
Disclosure battles over White House visitor logs have been a staple of both Democratic and Republican administrations.
In May 2006, the White House and the Secret Service asserted that the visitor records were presidential records, as opposed to agency records belonging to the Secret Service. Under federal law, presidential records can remain confidential for up to 12 years. As an executive branch agency, the Secret Service is subject to the Freedom of Information Act, which requires public release of material unless one of nine exemptions applies.
In Friday’s ruling, the chief judge said that construing the term “agency records” to extend to White House visitor logs could substantially affect the president’s ability to meet confidentially with foreign leaders, agency officials, or members of the public, which could make FOIA a potentially serious congressional intrusion into the conduct of the president’s daily operations.
Garland is an appointee of President Bill Clinton. The other two appeals judges on the case were David Sentelle and Stephen Williams, both appointees of President Ronald Reagan.
This is from an email from John DiNardo...
Someone passed on this information to me. If you're concerned,
I cannot verify it, but you can investigate it on your own.
This may affect the timing of World War III.
Do you remember before the kick-off to the 1991 first Persian Gulf War
when junior G.W. Bush made large investments in Harken Energy as
his diabolical daddy, Pres. George Herbert Walker Bush had lured
Saddam into Kuwait, and had dropped the hammer on Saddam after
being lured into the Kuwait trap? Before they kicked off that war,
junior Bush and many other insiders had to first make their profits.
Similarly, today, people in the know have been buying all kinds of
foreign currencies: Indian rupees, Iraqi dinars, Vietnamese dong,
Chinese yuan, etc. because of the near future profits that insiders know
about. Some ordinary Americans read Executive Order # ____ which
G.W. Bush signed for his buddies to make windfall profits. However,
the insiders were shocked when they found out that some common
folks had read the exec order and they too were buying in on that deal.
The cat was out of the bag, and they couldn't stop it. 198 countries were
secretly scheduled to have their currencies revalued (up-valued) by the
the global banksters. The banksters' plan was to put all nations'
currencies on an even playing field. That's why the dollar must crash,
in their planning. When they sink the dollar, that pushes up the value
of the dinar, the rupee, the dong, the yuan, etc. The Iraqi people have
been using the dollar because their currency is worthless, but it can
be revalued (up-valued) when they get the U.S. dollars out of Iraq.
The Iraqi central bank has frequent money auctions to sell dollars for
this purpose of dollar depletion or de-dollarization, after which the Iraqi
people will be given the national ID card, and that very same card is
planned to become the global national ID card for everyone, including
Americans. That is the the last step before everyone on Earth is planned
to receive the skin-implanted microchip. Bush's buddies and elite from
other countries, by that executive order, have loaded up on dinars, and
now, according to the plan, they will exchange these dinars for Iraqi
oil or Iraqi oil futures at the current low dinar value. They want to load
up on more pre-upvalued dinars by shaking out all the dinars held by
Americans who unexpectedly bought in, too. When that revaluation
occurs, the new United States Treasury note will replace the old U.S.
Federal Reserve Note dollar. And the new U.S.T. note is supposed to be
backed by gold, or is that merely what they will promise us? That's the
plan they have, and that's the gold-plated tungsten promise they plan to
console us with. They already have new $100 UST notes printed up
(photos are available), but now they say there is a flaw in the printing.
So, they have to reprint these many $100 UST notes, which will delay
the nationwide exchange of our old U.S. dollars for the new UST note.
This whole story about the flaw and the reprint and delay is likely to be
a lie, a stalling tactic. We're not quite sure why they're stalling on this
move. Wells Fargo is the bank that is going to exchange the dinar for
the new UST note, which we will never see, because it's going to be
digital money. China owns an interest in a Wells Fargo holding company.
China is the key player in this Wells Fargo group dinar exchange. What
is group? That's all the common folks who learned about the executive
ordered option (designed for insiders only) to buy Iraqi dinars. Before
the end of this year, when the Iraqi dinar is revalued (upvalued) is
when they plan to crash derivatives and anything else of paper value,
such as stocks, bonds, 401K's, retirement plans, pension plans, etc.
China wanted the revaluation of the dinar to occur several weeks ago,
but Wells Fargo kept delaying, and China consequently sued Wells Fargo.
Wells Fargo's delay may have been ordered by higher banking powers.
They were claiming that technical problems, glitches, in the markets
were causing these delays, but all indications are that no problems
actually exist.
That's all I have. It's a piece of information, perhaps with loose ends,
but one obvious well-tied end is based upon the nature of these greedy
devils. They MUST make their huge profits and capitalize on calculated
disasters before they perpetrate their horrendous crimes (e.g. the 1991
Bush/Persian Gulf War, the World Trade Center attacks).
