OBAMA RETURNS FROM G-20; immediately starts working on a fairway to settle the Syria dilemma. Then on Sunday and Monday, there's the NFL. Syria can wait till Tuesday; after all, how many Syrians can be killed in only three days?
RANDOM THOUGHTS from the retirement lane. When Obama said he was going to fundamentally transform America, I didn't realize he meant into a laughingstock.

THE DECISIVE BATTLES OF BARACK OBAMA:
We shall fight on the beaches—mostly on Martha’s Vineyard, where everybody was over Labor Day weekend—we shall fight at the G-20 summit in St. Petersburg, we shall fight at the U.N. Security Council, we shall fight in the House of Representatives and the Senate when Congress is finally back in session; we shall never surrender unless we don’t get enough votes or our poll ratings are low.
