US Congress and Afghanistan

The Hill: Reports that President Obama could have problems next year when it comes to funding his surge for Afghanistan, Democrats want to debate the Obama Policy. This is smoke and mirrors folks, the Democratic Congress is not going to pull the plug on Obama's War in Afghanistan. The Liberals in Congress might be a bunch of drunk sailors when it comes to the money of the US voter but they still know that the base of the Democratic Party is the African - American voter, thus that = the Democrats will never flush Obama down the toilet over Afghanistan. Its brutal politics folks, a lot of the House Members are from urban areas, thus a lot more ethnic vote, thus a majority of House Democrats need to keep Obama happy. If it was a Republican President the Democrats would pull the plug without a moments hesitation. Lets recall in May 1973 the House pulled the plug on the Vietnam War, and guess who the President was, yes it was Richard Nixon the Republican President. Also Obama is lucky the Republicans in the Congress and the Country still support the War in Afghanistan, thus Obama can afford to lose the liberals in Congress as they are replaced by Republican votes.
