I usually applaud President Obama's patience. He is never swept up in the passion of the moment, which no doubt comes from being a black man as President of the United States. He has to worry about appearing too angry, too quick tempered and ruled by emotion. He can't become a stereotype. Just like the first Female President wouldn't want to be too bitchy or the first Gay president wouldn't want to be too... well I guess bitchy either.

But see, here is where his patience bites him on the ass. President Obama, you said that the use of chemical weapons is a red line. And this latest round is a big fat Screw You from Syria - you won't do anything. As much as I want to say stay out of Syria (and still think we should), we should give the heads up that President Assad and everyone in his government has 10 minutes to get out of the Presidential Palace and offices and then blow it the hell up.

Message sent, don't fuck with us, don't use gas, don't push me. It's time to be a crazy mother, even if that is a little stereotypical for a Black Man as President.
