Obama: It Took 'Political Courage' Not to Bomb Syria

Former President Barack Obama said it took "political courage" not to bomb Syria after he had warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to discontinue using chemical weapons against his own people, threatening doing so would be crossing a "red line," the Washington Examiner reported Monday.

Obama spoke about his strategy with the Syrian regime while president in an interview last week with Jack Schlossberg, before receiving the John F. Kennedy Profiles in Courage Award. Schlossberg is the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy and member of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award Committee.

Actually it was fear of the voters. He personally didn't have anything to fear from the voters but I'm sure he was getting plenty of pressure from democrats in congress.

I haven't forgotten the outcry from conservatives to stay out of it and liberals wouldn't have been too happy about it either despite their silence.

A hero only in his own mind.

Perfect narcissism.

I wonder if it was the same kind of 'courage' that took the lives of 4 Americans in Beghazi?

Imagine the heroics it took to go golfing the day of the bin Laden raid, get dragged off the back nine when it was go time, and sit in the situation room like a lost boy while everything unfolded.

Imagine the heroics it took @edpc  not to answer the call for help from our people in Benghazi.
