Bada-zing! CNN’s Jake Tapper took to Twitter to offer up that movie idea after President Pass-the-Buck slammed Congress on the world stage and claimed to have never drawn that “red line” in regards to Syria.
And what difference does it make, anyway.@jaketapper @RichardDreyfuss

Double zing!
Tapper continued to call out President Obama. With his own words:
POTUS today: "I didn’t set a red line, the world did."
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) September 4, 2013
POTUS 2012: "a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized…"
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) September 4, 2013
"…That would change my calculus. That would change my equation."
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) September 4, 2013
This did not suit! How dare Tapper hold the president accountable for his own words?

Words matter.
