St. Petersburg, Russia — President Barack Obama on Wednesday declared the world’s credibility “is on the line” when it comes to punishing Syrian President Bashar Assad for his regime’s purported use of chemical weapons.

Speaking at a press conference in Stockholm, Sweden, ahead of a global economic summit in Russia where he will seek to rally support for a U.S. military strike against Syria, Obama said the “red line” he set against a year ago against Syria’s use of chemical weapons isn’t his, but an international standard.

The Syrian issue is one of his own making and he's floundering badly.

What happens (it will happen) when our adversaries get together to really lay something on the US?

I didn’t set a red line, the world set a red line, Obama said. My credibility’s not on the line. The international community’s credibility is on the line. And America and Congress’s credibility’s on the line.

There's that nine year old's logic he's so famous for.

Isn't he just the cutest thing Democrats?

Just sit there and smile, and hope the house guests don't vomit.
