Is Obama assuming mantle of "Mr Contradiction"

On many issues related to the war on terror, he has broken campaign promises or adopted inconsistent positions. Obama is now asking Americans to trust him on Syria, but they do not.

US PRESIDENT Barack Obama will have to deliver one of the finest speeches of his presidency tomorrow night, if he hopes to win Congressional support for a strike against Syria. Out of nowhere, the Syria vote has emerged as one of the defining moments of Obama’s second term.

With three years remaining in office, the vote will either revive his presidency or leave Obama severely weakened at home and abroad.
