Obama: 'I Didn't Set a Red Line' on Syria Daniel Halper September 4, 2013 9:31 AM

President Obama said in Sweden today that he personally "didn't set a red line" on Syria:

"First of all, I didn't set a red line," said Obama. "The world set a red line. The world set a red line when governments representing 98 percent of the world's population said the use of chemical weapons are [inaudble] and passed a treaty forbidding their use, even when countries are engaged in war. Congress set a red line when it ratified that treaty. 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 happening on the ground there need to be answered for. So, when I said in a press conference that my calculus about what's happening in Syria would be altered by the use of chemical weapons, which the overwhelming consensus of humanity says is wrong, that wasn't something I just kind of made up. I didn't pluck it out of thin air. There's a reason for it."

Total childish fool.

Poor man has early onset dementia. Must be all that burning hot sun shining on the golf courses. Or does he use a Marine to hold an umbrella over him?

He’s never to blame. He never takes any responsibility. His leadership skills are worse than nonexistent. He lacks courage and honor. FAIL.

Well, yeah. But it’s called the “Jihad Mind Trick” with him. He’s a Muslim, plain and simple.

The world set the red line.

Now, he is blaming the world for making him go on TV and give that embarrassing speech Saturday.

Nothing is ever his fault, not even diarrhea of the mouth.

My gosh, Barrack! Man up!

Too bad he doesn’t have that “memory hole” available so he can claim he was “malquoted”.

Obama: No I didn’t.
Honest... I ran out of gas!
I—I had a flat tire!
I didn’t have enough money for cab fare!
My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners!
An old friend came in from out of town!
Someone stole my car!
There was an earthquake!
A terrible flood! Locusts!
IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!!!

He also said that there was no immediate and direct threat to the United States. (He said it was a long term possible future issue).

Fortunately for the First Impostor-byFraud,
the MSM will willingly, gladly coverup his lies, as before.

Putin must be at least slightly embarrassed. There’s no sport in this whole mess.

FLASHBACK:

“We have been very clear to the Assad regime but also to other players on the ground that a red line for us is, we start seeing a whole bunch of weapons moving around or being utilized,” Obama declared.
