After a Tough Day, Congress adjourns again

++The House adjourned after approving a budget bill that keeps government open until December and granted President Obama's request for funding to train the Syrian "moderates". The Tea Party members swallowed and allowed the Export-Import Bank, which has been in existence since 1934, to continue to operate.

++The Senate has to pass the bill to fund the Syrian opposition and then the Congress critters will be off until mid-November after the elections.

++They did not entertain the idea of voting on whether President Obama could go to war without an explicit vote from Congress. Cool. They were too exhausted.
