President Obama declared on Wednesday that the confrontation with Syria over chemical weapons was not a personal test for him but for Congress, the United States and the world as he worked to strengthen support at home and abroad for a punitive strike.
I didnt set a red line, Mr. Obama said during a news conference here in Stockholm. The world set a red line.
He added, My credibilitys not on the line. The international communitys credibilitys on the line. And America and Congresss credibilitys on the line.
Mr. Obama laid blame for the Aug. 21 attack directly on Mr. Assad.

The “world” did not set a red line. Barack Obama set a red line.
The only reason his credibility is not at stake is because he doesn't have any.

“The only reason his credibility is not at stake is because he doesn’t have any. “
Actually, the reason he has any credibility is because the MSM says so. If they did their jobs, Obama would have resigned to spend more time with his sick (fill in the blank).

I have been trying in vain to convince Mrs. Buckeye of this for over two decades now.

My wife ain’t buying it either. And it’s not for lack of selling on my part.

Look at me. I'm as blameless as a kitten up a tree. Barack Obama
Not on me, uh uh, not my fault. Not mine. That's not me. No sir. That's yours, not mine. Yeah, you did that, you said that or you misunderstood because you were thinking stupidly. That's the ticket. Reggie, I need you darlin' ....
