Well folks, pack it up, head home and await the sweet meteor of death. We have reached peak “Thanks Obama”:
On Wednesday, Congress was so determined to pass a law to sue Saudi Arabia that it overrode President Barack Obama’s veto.
Let’s just make sure we’re clear here: Congress passed a law, President Obama strongly opposed it and vetoed it, and Congress then overrode his veto. In fact, Obama thought this law was such a bad idea that his spokesman said of it:

Fucking Constitution, how does it work?
