The situation in Syria is horrendous but it is not the only horrendous situation in the world and we cannot resolve all of them (maybe not any of them) if we cannot support our own people and infrastructure.

This is Obama's fault but it's also the fault of our legislature and courts. They have all put profits before people and have allowed the desires of a few outweigh the needs of the many.

They have all lost credibility.
