    Default Obama draws "Red Line" for Syria: That was then, this is now

    That was then:

    Remarks by President Obama to the White House Press Corps – August 20, 2012

    "We have put together a range of contingency plans. We have communicated in no uncertain terms with every player in the region that that’s a red line for us and that there would be enormous consequences if we start seeing movement on the chemical weapons front or the use of chemical weapons."


    And this is now:

    Remarks by President Obama to a press conference in Stockholm, Sweden, September 4, 2013

    "I didn’t set a red line, the world set a red line," Obama said. "My credibility’s not on the line."

    "The social contract exists so that everyone doesn’t have to squat in the dust holding a spear to protect his woman and his meat all day every day. It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them." - Instapundit.com

    Obama's credibility is not on the line because he has had none from the beginning.
    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
