“First of all, I didn’t set a red line,” said Obama
Obama: ‘I Didn’t Set a Red Line’ on Syria | The Weekly Standard
The White House web site says the exact opposite.
the President has set a clear red line as it relates to the United States that the use of chemical weapons
the people in Syria and the Assad regime should know that the President means what he says when he set that red line. And keep in mind, he is the one who laid down that marker.

unbelievable. Mendacity falls from this administration without any effort.
I knew this 5 years ago, before Obama was ever elected President (cf., the Rev. Wright episode), and I have been openly saying so at least since Obamacare was “passed” in 2010. I’m glad to see some like you now see and openly say the same thing. I just wish someone would hold down Boehner, McCain, Cantor, Paul (who was “so proud” that Obama decided at the last minute to share the blame with Congress) long enough to beat this understanding into their heads, and tell them we will not abide their continual failing to call Obama on his lies, quickly and hard.
Thank you, Harry, for putting “passed” in quotes. As far as I know, I’m the only other person to have written at Real Science that the program was not passed. My comment was ignored by all.
Al Franken was not and is not a Senator, and absent his vote, the bill failed in the Senate. Anyone who says the bill passed Congress is saying that the blatant fraud of the Franken “re-election” is a legitimate democratic election that must be recognized by all.
Moreover the “amendments” allegedly passed later on were merely “deemed” passed by Pelosi since the House lacked the votes to actually pass that bill.
Even if Obamacare were fully constitutional, which it isn’t, the fact remains that the passage of the bill was only possible if Franken legitimately served/serves in the U.S. Senate. There is no question whatsoever that he didn’t and doesn’t. Therefore, the filibuster was not broken; the bill was not passed; and it is not law. Conservatives must insist on this, lest they would honor conservatism only in the breach.

Sorry, I meant ‘the Franken “election”‘.
It isn’t just mendacity at this point. I, too, lost interest in Obama at the time of the Jeremiah Wright affair – and at that point I thought in terms of mendacity. But this is something more weird and wonderful than simple mendacity. And it’s partly due to the press, who simply won’t call the shots on their Golden Boy. Boy, is this interesting. Boy, do I wish I was watching all this from Alpha Centauri …
Get the transcript Candy! (Is her nickname ‘Skittles’?)
Contradicted by the Whitehouse web page. Priceless. Too bad it won’t stick to The One Who Cannot Fail. Who didn’t tell him what the telepromptor said?
Must be Bush’s fault.
I watchedthis live today. I could not believe what I heard. Bared faced lies. The man is an inveterate liar. Impeach him for USA’s impeach him. Where is that prat Boehner in all this.?
If you have a Red Line, you didn’t draw that.
I remember ‘Baghdad Bob’ from the days of the Iraq invasion. His transparent, baldfaced lies were a comic relief from a sad time in world history.
Now we have our own ‘Baghdad Bob’. And he’s the current the White House occupant. Same level of duplicity, but different political ideology. Problem is: Barry’s incessant lying ceased being funny a long time ago.

Marx. Wrong again. This was history made as benign comedy by a witty ball player. Repeated as tragedy by an American president.
