Your criticism is he is indecisive based on what is or is not popular, as in looking to the public (via congress?) before engaging in military action abroad. So, what should the actual involvement of the public or congress be? Should the President take action according to his convictions and dictate to the rest of the country?

I don't think anything is going on in Syria that warrants emergency action, personally, but I'm open ears.
