Didn't they do it long before 2001 though? Was that just a case of selective acceptance of reality because I'm certain the practice didn't start with Bush.

Yes. That's why I talked about it in the context of Bush: complaining about "not respecting the office" is something both sides only do when it's convenient.

Which one? 3? Because even if it's passed, that one's not getting the required funding and it's only going to dissuade travel to the US further.

The third proposal is the only one that could theoretically get through Congress at this point in Obama's term. It probably won't, given current dysfunction, but the President's other proposals have no chance of going anywhere. No one in the Republican Party will vote for gun restrictions and there's no way Congress is going to firm consensus around an AUMF.

I was thinking much the same earlier today. Bush could call for tolerance for Muslims and get conservatives to largely follow as the leader of the flock. But Obama doesn't speak for conservatives. Only a real conservative leader (Trump, really) could call for tolerance and get it. If anything, Obama calling for tolerance guarantees that we'll see anything but thanks to the "do the exact opposite of whatever Obama says" contingent.

Any violence done to Muslims after this will be on the hands of right wing rhetoric and not Obama declaring something, just as it was before this. As fun as it is to believe that the right would all die minutes after Obama said he loves oxygen sooooo much, fact is this is a product of their worldview and not a reaction to his.

Anybody have a link to Rubio's response?

So be it. If there's going to be a religious war in this country, then I'd prefer there be bright lines between the two sides. I want to fight for religious liberty rather than just fighting against horrible right wing poo poo.
