The Hill: Reports that Republican Senators have been critical of the Obama policy in Syria, they want the President Obama to arm the rebels " or take other unilateral measures to stop the bloodshed and replace Assad. ".
Lets Get Real:
The Syrian Crisis if it goes on for months, with constant deaths on the nightly news could be a problem for President Obama, the Republicans want to define Obama as weak, his restart button with Russia has been a disaster, he sold out Poland and the Czech Republic for nothing, the Russian bear sees Obama as weak, a leader who thinks his rhetoric is reality, in other words a push over, the Russians and US voters do not respect high minded weakness, they respect a strong leader, thus in 1980 Reagan was seen as a strong leader, while President Carter was seen as weak after the Iran hostage crisis blew up in addition to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. The Oval should keep very close eye on Syria, its implications might not just be regional, it might change the President in the US in 2013.
