Garry Kasparov: Obama's coalition knows he'd 'lose interest in them overnight to save one Senate seat'

World chess champion and Human Rights Foundation chair Garry Kasparov hasn’t been impressed by President Obama’s “red lines” in Syria and Ukraine, noting in February that “Obama could sell his red lines on eBay as new. They are all in mint condition, never used!”

That red line nonsense in Syria from last year is now coming back to bite the administration, says Kasparov.

@Kasparov63 …and I remember thinking you were one of the very few who saw it. In this case, I am sure it gives you no pleasure to be right.

Obama’s priorities seem to be clear to Kasparov.

Why would ISIS be afraid or coalition allies trust Obama when they know he'd lose interest in them overnight to save one Senate seat?
