Oy.
Despite Nancy Pelosi and Ezra Klein’s best efforts, it’s getting more and more difficult for Team Obama to make the case that the White House has any clout left in the Syria situation:
RT @NancyPelosi: Thanks to Pres. Obama's strength, we have a Russian proposal. | That the Russians won't write down. http://t.co/D5zKQ0VZHG

So basically Putin is making Obama publicly strip down to nothing so O can get a solution to Syria that is horrible to begin with. Awesome.

Confidence in Obama’s ability to lead continues to plummet (amazingly, it still hasn’t hit rock-bottom):
I mean the Russians just made us their bitch. That hasn't happened in a long time.

President Obama’s utter incompetence isn’t just making him look bad; it’s also screwing over his speechwriters. With Obama scheduled to address the nation on the Syria situation tonight:
President Obama will address the nation this evening regarding the situation in Syria. Tune in at 9:00 p.m. ET. http://t.co/qVdNKyY1Ep
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) September 10, 2013
His speechwriters have got their work cut out for them:

Presidential speechwriters head's exploding as they hustle to try to rewrite all those strong Red Line points in tonight's speech.

@Matthops82 How many Obama speechwriters have given up and are applying at McDonalds by this time? @AFP

Indeed, poor things. RT @lauraolin: Pray for the President's speechwriters

@eyedesertblog How'd you like to be one of the speechwriters, when the strategy has changed like five times since the speech was announced?
