Obama eats crow

[Jay]

Obama could do something in this situation, or do nothing.

 

He did something:

The U.S. won't send a presidential delegation to the Paralympic Games in Sochi, Russia, the White House announced Monday in response to Russia's military advances in Ukraine.

Obama is so badass.

He could have threatened to send Biden.

He could have threatened to send Biden.

 

Joe made a phone call this morning to Dimitri Medvedev. Here's how it went:

 

 

Mr. Medvedev: Mr. Vice President, Russia has taken this action to protect the interests of all Ukrainian citizens, including residents of Crimea, and citizens of Russia who are located in Ukraine.

Mr. Biden: Uruguay has the right to be free.

Mr. Medvedev: What? I didn't get that...I thought that we discussing the Ukraine.

Mr. Biden: Russia must immediately withdraw from Crimoatia.

Mr. Medvedev: Huh? Did you just say Croatia?

Mr. Biden: We have drawn solid red lines around Crimoatia.

Mr. Medvedev: *click * (hangs up)

Though seriously if you ever end up giving reason for Mrs. Palin to ever gloat over you regarding foreign policy matters you've failed at life.

Obama could do something in this situation, or do nothing.  Either way for the FOX Newsers it is just groundhog day.  Wake up and no matter what it is a disaster.  Make economic sanctions, end of world....say F them, end of world.  Sometimes it really isn't him as much as you crave. 

I think it is understood that no matter who's in the White House they're damned if they and do and damned if they don't in the media's eyes.

i think you're right.

 

in this case, we have a president who hasn't been very strong in foreign relations, so it probably gets everyone's attention a little more easily.

i feel the same way you do every time someone is accused of tanking.

Who knew community organizers aren't all that strong when it comes to geopolitical policies?

Is crow part of the African diet?

 

No, but it is part of the Muslim diet.

[jshep]

Wait, is he eating crow because it's also black?

[fan_since79]

Guess who wasn't present at the White House national security meeting Saturday on the Ukrainian crisis?

 

He was later briefed by Susan Rice.

Things are getting better, this shows Biden can operate a phone at least.

Well Jay, here is how your day will play out.  FOX News will tell you Putin good, who is basically communist, Obama bad.  Obama was supposed to make us communist.  Tomorrow when groundhog starts over for you again Obama will back Putin and you will say were are turning communist.  Next day you wake up and.........  

 

 

It saddens me that even though a POTUS is a piece of crap the right will pat someone like Putin on the back.  We are a ****ed up country.

Only from the waist down.

Your legs have bad credit?

You have no idea.

You sound like you're on pain medication.

[Jason]

Someone said Putin was good?

If anyone was congratulating Putin, I missed it entirely.

Libs want the U.S. to be just like European countries, and they are achieving their goal.

 

Your ridiculous post reminded me of

 

God forbid that we have better health care, give women 2+ years of maternity leave vs. 12 weeks (current in US), or to have mandated--and a substantial amount of--paid vacation.

 

This country is so far behind the EU in so many ways, so we'd be lucky if Obama tried to shift us more towards EU policies and approaches.

 

Of course the rednecks in this country are so fixated on being Proud to be 'Merican, that they miss the fact that the politicians they support are the same politicians that protect mega-corporations and don't give a shit about the working class.

I'm glad we got a healthcare system (as of right now) that is superior to our old one......

Thanks EU for showing us how it's done properly.

Just because they didn't get it right doesn't mean that it would have been impossible to get it right or that there wasn't/isn't a great need for change in healthcare structure.
