No doubt by now AIPAC is calling the members of Congress in their pockets and demanding a vote for war, and no doubt the NSA is calling all the members of Congress and reminding them of the dirty little secrets the NSA has the evidence on.
At this point, even if Congress votes for war, there is no reason for We The People to go along. Congress destroyed their credibility with Iraq and never got it back. Any congressional vote is meaningless if it does not actually represent the will of the people.
But what Obama just did is clever. He knows the American people oppose him starting another war, and contrary to Obama's claim, he does not have the authority to launch a war against Syria on his own unless Syria directly attacks the United States. But Obama is hoping to be able to support the push for war with the cover of Congress, so that the peoples' anger is diffused across 500 politicians, rather than just focused on the White House. Should the Congress vote it down as did Parliament, Obama drops the "failure to act" on Congress and walks away with his presidential image looking good.
Meanwhile, Obama has succeeded in distracting the corporate media away from Benghazi, the IRS' targeting of political enemies, the NSA spying on everyone, etc. (But we'll pick up the slack!)
In any event, it is time to gather outside the offices of your Representatives and Senators and glare through the windows!

The Kenyan's image hasn't looked good since he illegally started occupying the White House.
