Obama: 'I Didn't Set a Red Line' on Syria Daniel Halper September 4, 2013 9:31 AM
President Obama said in Sweden today that he personally "didn't set a red line" on Syria:
"First of all, I didn't set a red line," said Obama. "The world set a red line. The world set a red line when governments representing 98 percent of the world's population said the use of chemical weapons are [inaudble] and passed a treaty forbidding their use, even when countries are engaged in war. Congress set a red line when it ratified that treaty. Congress set a red line when it indicated that in a piece of legislation entitled the Syria Accountability Act that some of the horrendous things happening on the ground there need to be answered for. So, when I said in a press conference that my calculus about what's happening in Syria would be altered by the use of chemical weapons, which the overwhelming consensus of humanity says is wrong, that wasn't something I just kind of made up. I didn't pluck it out of thin air. There's a reason for it."
Yup. Blame the entire world. It’s all OUR fault. Dimwit.
I suffered listening to this mess. The Red Line is at 1:45
This is from ONE YEAR AGO.

Oh well, whatever.
I hope not.
what is white out? is that a racist thing?
So, he ADMITS he’s not part of America!
No kidding. I met a gentleman a couple months ago, who admitted that he voted for Obama in ‘08. Even so, I considered him as a potential date - everyone makes mistakes, right? However, you probably know the rest of the story. Later, the twit confessed (when he thought he was “in” like Flint) that he voted for him AGAIN in ‘12. When I asked WHY?, he turned in to a blubbering idiot unable to give me a valid reason for making the same mistake twice. That did it. He’s now history.

“White Out” is the real name of a product (correction fluid), primarily used back in the days of typewriters before correction tape and word processors. I don’t think it was intended to be a racist thing in this case.
If he did NOT set the RED LINE then we DO NOT need to “save this face” as the left has said
lol...
“Wasn’t me. I’m not in any way responsible for what’s going on. I’m out there every day fighting for these issues.”
That’s how leftist dictators hold on to power in many countries- I’m fighting these powerful historic forces for you, every day, and this issue is caused by [fillintheblank] not me or the valiant efforts of my administration.
Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia...USA
I am going to pass that one around Yahoo right now. Thanks!
Idiot.
If you weren’t so self possessed with I, me and other, uh, you know...what I mean.
You could have turned the phrase:
“The world set a red line. The world set a red line when governments representing 98 percent of the world’s population said the use of chemical weapons are [inaudble] and passed a treaty forbidding their use, even when countries are engaged in war. Congress set a red line when it ratified that treaty. Congress set a red line when it indicated that in a piece of legislation entitled the Syria Accountability Act that some of the horrendous things happening on the ground there need to be answered for.
The overwhelming consensus of humanity says is wrong.”
He could have just moved on from there.
