2. Our President needs to find the courage . . .

This is not the time for President Obama to feel compelled to fulfill his promises. If he was able to shoulder the embarrassment of failing to make good on several of his initial campaign promises to us (like closing Gitmo and bringing transparency to government) surely he can spare us another Middle Eastern war by accepting that he needs to retract his threat to attack Syria. Our President needs to find the courage to keep us out of a conflict we cannot settle or even hope to contain.

Is Barack Obama the President of those voters who elected him, or does he serve other masters? It appears we may soon know the answer.
