You bet your boots he is! Not that there was ever any doubt. Still, ABC News apparently felt that it would be a good idea to remind us all that even when it looks like Obama doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing, he’s really just a victim of circumstance:
Did Obama's off-the-cuff remark create this dilemma on #Syria? http://t.co/ssGfTVQOsS

ABC News’ Devin Dwyer answers that question in his headline:
Damn. Don’t you just hate it when your “off-the-cuff” remarks create an international “dilemma”? We’ve all been there, right?
The headline’s silly enough. But check out the actual post:
Read first paragraph. Then tell me this story is impartially written. http://t.co/OAVqPA44xP I'll laugh.

“Amazing” is certainly one word for it:
Man, it’s hard out there for a “reluctant president”! It’s just brutal. Don’t you people understand?

@JimmyPrinceton He's a tortured spirit and reluctant pres…my god…what have we the public driven him to? We're to blame! @JohnEkdahl

Oh, the humanity!
@joepaMN You don't find "tortured spirit" to be an objective straight-down-the-middle desription of President Obama?

Heh. Not remotely. But we have to keep this in mind:

Do they ever!
great @devindwyer take – how Obama’s ‘red line’ comment created #Syria dilemma, off the presidential cuff http://t.co/TOoRBH1HfP via @abc

Geez. Is Obama responsible for anything? Other than heroically killing bin Laden, that is?

Hey, nobody told him he’d be accountable for what he says. Isn’t that right, Devin Dwyer?
Damn faulty teleprompter MT @RBPundit: OH! Obama's "red line" comment was "off-the-cuff"… See? He's still the Bestest President ever!

@BecketAdams @JohnEkdahl @Slublog Obama inherited the mess George Bush 41 left him!

And speaking of Bush 41:
@redsteeze @JohnEkdahl @Slublog If "red line" was off-the-cuff, so was "read my lips."
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) August 30, 2013
No, only Republicans are responsible for the promises they make.
@BecketAdams @JohnEkdahl @Slublog "Off the cuff" See he never meant to say Red Line.. All one big misunderstanding
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) August 30, 2013
And the biggest misunderstanding of all? That Barack Obama was ever elected to political office in the first place.
There is another option instead of bombing Syria over Obama's off the cuff remarks to regain America's credibility, he could resign.
