No Matter How You Feel About President Obama or Syria, One Thing We Can All Agree On Is This....

Wolf Blitzer is so ridiculous for asking President Obama to look directly into the camera and talk to Bashar al-Assad.

At the 4:23 second mark

As if the President of the United States is a parent on the local news pleading for their child's return. What was Wolf expecting to turn this interview into, an episode of The Bachelorette!? "Come on, Bashar, I know we can make it through this rough patch and work this out!!"

Seriously, Wolf!?
