Obama about a year ago.....At the National Defense University, he said: "The use of chemical weapons is and would be totally unacceptable." Switching to speak directly to Syrian president Bashir al-Assad, he continued: "If you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons, there will be consequences and you will be held accountable."
Today...."Sometimes what we've seen is that folks will call for immediate action, jumping into stuff, that does not turn out well," he said. "We have to think through strategically what's going to be in our long-term national interests, even as we work cooperatively internationally to do everything we can to put pressure on those who would kill innocent civilians."
The U.S. has called on Syria to allow the U.N. team currently on the ground to investigate this most recent attack. (sound familiar?)However, the president was pessimistic about those prospects, saying, "We don't expect cooperation, given their past history."
Don't come on here saying that "he's being thoughtful and thinking it through", you know it's because he has no polls that show getting involved in Syria is popular. I, for one, wished that he had kept his mouth shut.
When a leader with character and conviction draws a line in the sand, there are usually repercussions.
If you're too big of a coward to do something, don't draw a line in the sand.
Obama is nothing but a coward who only acts when polls tell him that the time is right.
Hate to say it but I have more respect for Putin than the Village Idiot.
It is funny the left still brings up Palin. They are terrified of that woman. I hope she runs. Common sense blasts every liberal talking point into the moon and they know it. Too bad the traitor republicans care more about their seats than the US just like the democrat suckups. We are in a world of hurt and must rush the castle. I'm too old. lol

Compromise shows a healthy respect for others and a healthy degree of humility as well. Indeed, it is a false dilemma to suggest that either you stick to your principles or you “abandon” them and don’t have any. It is misleading to suggest that compromise shows a lack of principle—because compromise is itself a principle.
There are two words you won't find in Obama's vocabulary that applies to himself. (1) Compromise and (2) Principle.
He expects everyone else to compromise based on the principle that he is the President of the World.............I mean the United States.
