According to Anne Gearan, Colum Lynch and Karen DeYoung of The Washington Post, via Drudge: “The United States and Russia agreed Saturday on an outline for the identification and seizure of Syrian chemical weapons and said Syria must turn over an accounting of its arsenal within a week.
 
The agreement will be backed by a U.N. Security Council resolution that could allow for sanctions or other consequences if Syria fails to comply, Secretary of State John F. Kerry said.
 
Kerry said that the first international inspection of Syrian chemical weapons will take place by November, with destruction to begin next year.”
 
So, now there's a path to a solution of the Syrian crisis caused by the incumbent’s chemical weapons remarks two years ago made without thinking, and all it cost was the loss of the U.S.’s image, influence, prestige, and reputation in the Middle-East as well as among most other foreign nations. And at the same time, in order to save the incumbent’s personal image, elevated Vladimir Putin to a level as world statesman he couldn’t earn by himself if he lived to be three thousand. 
 
And then while the Syrian fiasco gathered all the headlines, according to foxnews.com/politics: Union leaders met with the incumbent and Joe Biden in the White House, to see if a special deal could be worked out for favorable treatment regarding the new health care tax. 
 
However, results released Friday night explained that “the White House said the Treasury Department had issued a letter "making clear that it does not see a legal way for individuals in multi-employer group health plans to receive individual market tax credits as well as the favorable tax treatment associated with employer-provided health insurance at the same time."
 
Additionally, “Although the White House did not specify exactly what it might do instead, if anything. It said only it would work with various plans to create "new, high-quality, affordable options" for everyone.”
 
On the other side: “Spokesmen for ranking House member Orrin Hatch of Utah and Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp of Michigan issued a joint statement saying,“There has been far too much special treatment for politically-favored friends of ObamaCare.  But when it comes to employers and taxpayers picking up the health care tab for labor unions – it appears that is a price that is simply too high. Perhaps even this Administration recognizes that there are limits to them stretching the law to reward their friends.”
 
But the most important part of the situation to me is that: “The AFL-CIO just passed a resolution blasting ObamaCare as “highly disruptive,” and the administration has been trying to convince the unions to lower the volume on their complaints about the law’s implementation.”
 
So, here we we have growing evidence of the administration's total incompetence, regarding just about every aspect of effective decision-making that exists, foreign or domestic. Which brings me back to my recurring question about just how ignorant do you have to be to still support these abject failures, and even stranger, why would anyone do it at all? Because, throughout recent history, Democrat politicians have never, ever, helped anyone but themselves.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
