“What, me worry?” seems to be the operating philosophy of President Obama as a serious crisis brews in Eastern Europe. Daniel Halper reports an almost unbelievable level of Obama nonchalance toward his national security responsibilities in the Weekly Standard:

A White House official emailed some reporters to say that President Obama's team met today to discuss the ongoing situation on Ukraine. It appears President Obama did not attend.

"The President's national security team met today to receive an update on the situation in Ukraine and discuss potential policy options. We will provide further updates later this afternoon," reads the full statement.

But:

According to Time magazine's Zeke Miller, Obama skipped the meeting. "Obama did not attend the meeting, but WH official says he has been briefed by Susan Rice and his national security team," says Miller.

Oh, well, never mind then. All is well.

For f-s sake...
God save us from this fag prince of incompetence.
I've seen coat hangers that inspired more confidence.

He probably had a date with Reggie.

Him being there may just make things worse.

Lock the doors and call Cheney.

He’s clueless about national security as well as many other things he’s flat out dangerous.

Barry Allen is just a middle man in the globalists scheme of things anyway.

Just as well that The Stain missed the meeting. He wouldn’t contribute anything at all worthwhile to begin with. Better that he occupy his time with Reggie Love.

The only threat this guy is concerned about is the one posed by the American people.

We are the only enemy in the eyes of this President.

He skips the meetings because he takes marching orders from his handlers. He doesn’t decide anything and it has been a long time since he has even made pretend that he does.

He’s probably upstairs “playing cards” with Reggie Love like he was during the attack on Ben Ghazi.

He is still pouting ever since Valerie Jarrett hid all his red crayons.

I don’t blame him for not attending. The meeting was probably 10:30 or 11 AM, well before his normal teddy-beddy wakeup time.

Well, hell, you know how hard it is to get a Saturday morning tee time?

I am sure the real decision maker in the White House, Valerie Jarret, attended the meeting.

As in Benghazi, this admin is a few plays behind the facts on the ground. Obama will go to the Ukrainian border with policy statements, and G8 suspension papers in his hand, only to find out that Armed Russian Troops passed through, 2 days earlier. He will look westward and wait, and wait.

It certainly is delightful to know that even though he skipped the meeting, he was fully briefed by Susan Rice.

No doubt she told him there is no need for concern, Putin and his army are just in Ukraine filming a travel documentary.
