Obama Makes Impassioned Plea For Doing Something In Syria Despite No Direct U.S. Security Threat

I was eminently impressed that the speech actually started on time. I was unimpressed that he decided to make his plea from the same spot in which Joe Biden proclaimed that passing Obamacare was a “big f’ing deal“.
