I just don't understand how Kerry or Obama or anybody else thought Assad was going to change.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The people who voted for President Obama are just beginning to wake up to exactly what they brought in. The 'change' they envisioned is not the 'change' they have gotten.
People want change. How is Barack going to do it? I think McCain can bring change.
What I think is frustrating for Americans is that it feels like more was going to change with Obama.
President Obama chose politics over leadership. 'Hope' and 'Change' have become bait-and-switch.
As far as we are concerned, we Syria have not changed.
Senator Kerry was fooled by Bashar al-Assad.
I saw the president make the tough calls in the Situation Room - and today, our troops in Iraq have finally come home so America can do some nation building here at home. That was the change that we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.
All non-incumbent campaigns promise hope and change, but Obama took the promise to a new level of absurdity. He suggested that a vote for him would literally transform the Earth.
It's difficult to see how Syria can have any long-term future with Assad there as president. Many people would never return to that country if that were the case.
Obama can't change his cool disposition, though it would be nice if he lost the vaguely grudging air he gives off that problems of management get in the way of ideas.
