Can the President be a human being and not a fictional hero that has no emotion? Just wondering, because the media and everyone now is wondering what is wrong with him. Some calling him the “incredible shrinking President” and wondering of his tiredness and overall tone of weariness in his presser from St. Petersburg this morning.

How about he is conflicted because he is a reasoned man. I imagine it is rather difficult to find anything resembling reason in this whole debate about war or a police action or whatever. Reason and meaning in the Middle East? Reason and meaning in Congress? Reason and meaning with the American people that are still stunned by the costs of a meaningless war in Iraq? How does anyone weigh all that and not look like he has been run over by a bulldozer?

Time to tune out again. Probably look back into the Syrian thing when he addresses the country next week. Maybe some others will find a little reason and reality themselves so that they can actually discuss instead of throw red meat and run for office in one or three years.
