Obama calls off war due to lack of interest..
Was it because he was not willing to shoulder the blame himself for his actions.. or does he really care what the people think?
well it looks like Obama was unwilling to shoulder the blame alone,.. so instead he went golfing...

WASHINGTON -- President Obama said Saturday that he believes the United States “should take military action” in response to last week’s chemical attack in Syria, but he will seek congressional approval for ordering a strike.
In a brief statement delivered in the White House Rose Garden, Obama said the U.S. military was prepared to launch a strike against the Syrian government, but that readiness was "not time sensitive."
Obama said he believes he has the authority to act without congressional approval, but asked lawmakers to weigh in and shoulder the responsibility for the decision.
After initially calling on United Nations inspectors to investigate the attack, the Obama administration switched course and declared that the U.N. team would not learn more than what U.S. intelligence agencies had already uncovered.
Still, Obama had largely failed to win over key international partners and seemed prepared Friday to forge ahead without United Nations support or NATO allies.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, gave a lukewarm assessment of the U.S. evidence that Assad carried out the chemical weapons attacks, saying only that it "points to" the Syrian leader.
