The Syria mess is the latest example of what happens when "chickens come home to roost" for this President. Just when the President suddenly needed some Republican votes to support the strike in Syria, it became clear that Obama doesn't have any friends on the Republican side of the aisle. And why would he? When you treat the political opposition as if they were somehow enemies of the republic and vilify them repeatedly in rambling speeches, then don't be surprised that they won't support you just when you need them most. This President not only has no supporters on the Republican side but apparently few real friends on the Democratic side either.
