    Obama in Stockholm

    In Sweden today , President Obama was asked if his credibility is on the line if he doesn't act after Syria's al-Assad crossed his "red line" by using chemical weapons. Obama dismissed the notion. "My credibility is not on the line. The international community's credibility is on the line, and America's and Congress' credibility."
