South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham slammed President Barack Obama's handling of foreign affairs, saying he "has no situational awareness regarding the adversaries he faces."

Graham took to Twitter soon after Obama spoke from the White House on Monday morning to provide an update of events in Ukraine and the Middle East.

"President Obama continues to pursue diplomatic solutions while Russia and their separatist allies continue to dismember the Ukraine," he tweeted. "The people who appreciated President Obama's speech the most were the Russians. Talks loud. No stick."

During his Monday remarks, Obama said his preference "continues to be finding a diplomatic resolution" to the crisis in Ukraine.

"I believe that can still happen. That is my preference today, and it will continue to be my preference," he said.

Concerning the U.S. response to the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, Obama insisted that "our immediate focus is on recovering those who were lost, investigating exactly what happened, and putting forward the facts. We have to make sure that the truth is out, and that accountability exists."

The harsh words targeted at Obama were a continuation of Graham's sharp tone during a Sunday appearance on NBC News' "Meet the Press."

Graham characterized Obama as the "king of indecision" whose "policies are failing across the globe."

This is as tough as you'll hear from the Gramnasty, glaring weak speak!

From one queen to another.

Lindsey simply has no stick.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s hard for someone to carry a stick when they’ve got a pen in one hand and a Schmuckphone in the other.

michelle keeps it in her purse.

A couple of d*cks comparing sticks.

And not a twig to be found.

I wouldn’t mind watching Obama trying to protect himself in the ring against Putin for 3 rounds if he’d even last that long. I’m guessing 0 would use his mouth, his pen, and a stick of red chalk to protect himself. I would pay good money to watch that.

He also has no balls................

If Obummer did have a stick, Putin would take it away from him and beat the crap out of Obozo with it.

“”our immediate focus is on recovering those who were lost, investigating exactly what happened, and putting forward the facts. We have to make sure that the truth is out, and that accountability exists.””

When did that become a priority to this jerk? Must be only when something is totally out of his hands - the investigation and putting forward the facts.. It wasn’t an American airliner so what does he have to do with it?

Obama has a limp wrist when dealing with anybody.
US Citizens, however, are dealt with by his secret civilian police.

[Walrus]

Ah, yes, the old “we have to make sure” literal device that the Liar-in-chief is so fond of.

[dfwgator]

Is this true?

[RedEyeJack]

Flexibility is the key to limpness and we all know he told the Russian president (Putin's butt-boy) that he would have more flexibility after his reelection... nothing unexpected here, right?

"Talks loud. No stick."

This is a progressive diplomatic variation of the ancient technique of smiting one's enemy with the "jawbone of an ass."
