"Yes...'gasp...wheeze'...Yes you...'deep breath'...did."
I heard this on Drudge and I thought.."No way."
Oh look.
Video!
Well...maybe we're just all remembering it wrong and the last month has just been a bad dream. I mean who can honestly reember what was said 13 months ago. It's not like we have any....
...VIDEO!
OK wait...calm down...breathe...
Given the situation in Syria, specifically, the fact that the rebels are essentially Al-Qaeda and the lack of clarity regards who gassed the civilians with what, I'm perfectly willing to take Palin's advice and cut the president some slack and not dog him if he backs down from a rapidly escalating situation. He shouldn't have gotten us into this in the first lace, but if he swallows his pride and backs down we righties ought not to mock him on this. That is, don't rub someones nose in their goof when they're trying to make things right.
And yet this post exists...
And that's because as you can see in the first video, he's not backing down, he's DOUBLING down.
"The world set a red line when governments representing 98 percent of the world's population said the use of chemical weapons are abhorrent and passed a treaty forbidding their use, even when countries are engaged in war," he said at a joint news conference with Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt on the first day of a four-day trip that includes the G-20 summit in Russia.
"Congress set a red line when it ratified that treaty," Obama continued. "Congress set a red line when it indicated that in a piece of legislation entitled the "Syria Accountability Act" that some of the horrendous things that are happening on the ground there need to be answered for."
So...the US Congress and the whole fricking WORLD is making him do this.
When I first heard this I laughed.
However there is a real issue here...
Our president...after all this...in an age of video and internet is going to go on TV and tell us that he never gave that speech.
Is he MAD?
Or does he think that he'll get enough cover from the press to make this lie stick?
