Obama: 'I Didn't Set a Red Line' on Syria

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."

My contempt for this lying @#$%!& (no word in my vocabulary is adequate) knows no limits.

Lying comes so easy for this POS even when there is documented proof to the contrary.

My big gripe with Obama used to be his Marxist origins. But now it’s his narcissistic personality disorder that’s REALLY scary.

I don’t think he can man up. It’s not in his psychological make-up.

Hot Air has a good comment on this:

” ... said Van Hollen, the more Obama seems aligned with superhawks like McCain, the less Democratic support there’s likely to be. McCain, being aware of that, might then figure that he needs to be pretend-outraged at how dovish the resolution is in order to firm up Dem support.”

Obama: I didnt draw that red line..its Bush’s fault for leaving the red crayons in the Crayola box
No wonder everyone in the Middle East is laughing at us..we have an absolute moron for a President..who not only won once but twice..that’s even sadder than Obama’s idiotic comment, its the fact that morons voted for him twice

It’s possible that the very use of these chemicals was to challenge Obama’s red line.

Brain function loss? Have you heard the Kenyan speak? uh uh ah oh uh duh um aeiou——he just needs a couple vowels and a few random consonants to tell us every thing he knows. They tell us not to call the slow kids “retarded” but this stooge is a poster child for brain damage that had to start quite some decades ago. When we finally get to peek at his school records we’re going to find that he slid all the way thru school claiming he was a disadvantaged Kenyan-—not just naturally dumb.

He’s never to blame. He never takes any responsibility. His leadership skills are worse than nonexistent. He lacks courage and honor. FAIL.

He and his supporters are the lowest form of life in the entire universe.

He’s not smart enough to be a nerd. He’s just a pansy.

Thank you for posting. Really worth a look (if only for the fawning looks he gets from the "independent press").

obama does this because, other than to maybe point out his blatant lies, no one will hold him to account ... at least not effectively hold him to account. Bolstered by his affirmative action-launched ego and his complete lack of respect for the "opposition party" leaders, obama has no fear of being challenged by anyone (especially the "journalists" who so pride themselves on their professionalism and objectivity).

We’re his lips moving? Thought so. Nuff said. No credibility whatsoever.

RE McCain and Rubio: There are so many parallels to the senate amenety bill fiasco. We have seen this train wreck before. All aboard!
