The upside of this national debacle is that win-or-lose, Obama is so severely damaged by this that not even his media sycophants will be able to dig him out, opening the door for Repubs to actually do something about Obamacare, and the Budget.
That assumes, of course, that someone has the balls to stand up and take the lead on it.
The bottom line is that Obama is a proven liar from his earliest days. He lied in “his” books, he lied about where he was born-remember the bio that HE wrote himself back in the early 90’s that flat out said he was born in Kenya? He lied about everything in Obamacare, he lied on the campaign trail when he claimed Alqueda was “on the run”, he lied (or sent his minions-Holder) to lie about Fast and Furious. He lied that he knew nothing about the IRS targeting his political enemies, yet allowed his underlings to take the 5th. He lied about targeting reporters. He lied huge about the reason Benghazi happened and has refused to supply an info to get to the bottom of it- so why would anyone think that he is telling the truth about Syria? He’s never told the truth.
