ern for those beyond his political base.But unless 
Obama can promise some penalty for the Democrats who refuse his demands, 
defections will only increase as elections draw nearer.Note well that Sen. 
Michael Bennett, the Colorado Democrat, longtime Obama ally and said to 
be a favorite of the president, was one of those who voted 
against the core provision of the presidents plan: a restoration and expansion 
of the Clinton-era ban on civilian weapons mocked up to look like 
military firearms.The ban on what gun-control advocates call assault weapons 
only mustered 40 votes. And while this measure was always considered a 
reach, it is a long-sought aim of the Democratic left. Bennett, who 
doesnt face voters again until 2016, opposing that measure was a strong 
signal that there would be limited intra-party consequences for opposing 
Obama on the issue.Nine Democrats rejected the only measure on offer in 
the Senate that would have arguably diminished the death toll in Newtown, 
Conn.: restrictions on high-capacity magazines. The defectors here included 
several usually reliable Obama allies like Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia 
and Sen. Jon Tester of Montana.The president says he will keep pushing

gave the Security Council a grim assessment of the Syrian civil war, 
saying that Damascus is completely uncooperative in negotiations."With the 
Syrians, I got nowhere," Lakhdar Brahimi told reporters after the closed-door

would step aside. Damascus has shown no appetite for discussing Assad's 
resignation.Brahimi also chided the Security Council for its ongoing deadlock 
over the war. Western and Arab nations blame the conflict on Assad's 
government. Russia insists on assigning equal blame to the Syrian rebel 
opposition, and has used it veto, along with China, to block draft 
council resolutions."On the Security Council, with the Americans and the 
Russians, we made some progress but it is too little," Brahimi said."If 
they really believe that they are in charge of looking after peace 
and security, there is no time for them to lose to really 
take this question more seriously than they have until now," he said.Brahimi 
denied rumors he was resigning, capping a week of widespread reports in 
the Arab world that he was quitting in frustration, or dumping his 
affiliation with the Arab League, which has officially recognized the Syrian 
opposition forces as the legitimate government.Brahimi assumed the U.N.-Arab 
League envoy role las
