Vice President Joe Biden backed out from appearing with President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine at a memorial ceremony in Kiev on Friday, when the Secret Service determined it “wasn’t a good idea” after a crowd became “unruly,” a pool report said.

Everyone in this administration needs to be derided, shamed, ridiculed and, generally, given the “what for” at every opportunity. Remember, Clown Prince nobama the Exalted One, commanded us to “get in their faces”.

Very little context here. Why are they so upset at Poroshenko, are these Pro-Russians, Pro-Ukrainians, Right-Sector types?

Or was it the Secret Service didn’t want him giving a speech that would embarrass the US?
