FLASHBACK to 2012 when Barack Obama was running for re-election in his own words!
Now today Our Liar in Chief!
"First of all, I didn't set the red line. The world set the red line.
Speaking to reporters during a joint press conference in Stockholm Wednesday, President Obama abandoned, then shifted his red line to the world and Congress, saying their credibility is on the line when it comes to making a decision about whether the United States should intervene militarily in Syria's civil war.
In 2012 President Obama made a red-line gaffe about consequences for the use of chemical weapons in Syria. In 2013, someone in Syria (the Assad regime according to government reports) used chemical weapons, therefore holding President Obama accountable to his own red-line standard of which he has now ignored and passed off to the the world. Ironically, as Obama pins his red line comment on "the world," he's willing to ignore the United Nations and their recommendations against intervention in Syria.
Meanwhile, Obama is calling in his old campaign team to try and sell his message on Syria to the America people. In other words, he's calling back his attack dogs in order to shame Congress into voting in his favor for military intervention in Syria while avoiding an Oval Office address.
President Obama is standing alone on this issue in the United States and in the world. If he's really going to make a case for military intervention, he'll have to do it in a presidential way from the Oval Office on his own.
