Russia Laughs At Obama’s Absurd Sanctions

Boris, how can moose and squirrel stop us stealing Crimea?

This reminds me of the Department of Transportation’s ban on curbside check-in shortly after 9-11. Some of you may recall that all flights were grounded for most of the week afterward, so they actually had time to think about it.

Ironically, laughing at Obama is the one thing that might goad him to action. McCain showed back in 2008 that Obama was amazingly thin skinned about being mocked. For a brief moment, McCain had some internet videos up making fun of Obama, portraying him as Moses parting the red sea when he talked about lowering the sea levels, or comparing him to Paris Hilton. Obama totally lost his cool at being laughed at, and became petty and mean about it. So naturally McCain stopped it ASAP. But it's out there, the way to get under Obama's skin is to mock him. I think that's why Saturday Night Live refuses to crack jokes about him. They know he'll be personally offended and won't laugh it off like every other president has.

So by making Obama look like a joke, they might make him ticked off enough to actually take a stand.

Putin and Barry are working together. Now that the election is over and Barry has more flexibility, he can play Putin’s puppet.

Russia has all the rights and cause to laugh at the boy king. This dumb-ass we have as a president finds it more opportune (for himself) to be on comedy/talk shows or campaigning/golfing/vacationing than in the WH taking care of business.

Who was the political cartoonist that always drew George H. W. Bush holding a black hand bag? If there is anyone that needs to be holding a purse, it is Obama.

It’s like Obama doesn’t care too much about the situation but because he’s the president and everything his advisors told him he has to do something and this is what the team came up with. It seems like there’s a lack of engagement on his part.

Does Obama, and/or the government have the authority to “sanction” individuals? I understand they could proceed with asset forfeiture, but at least there would be a hearing to determine if the money was proceeds from illegal activity. What if Obama decided to sanction the Koch brothers?

I can take a lot of crap- I'm a survivor of domestic abuse, childhood abuse, bullies at work... The one thing I can't stand is to be laughed at.

I can take a Punch, hate filled curse, but don't laugh at me.

Does anybody understand the huge statement being laughed at represents? I equate it with a shoe in the muslime world.

We Americans should be hanging our heads in shame.

The Russians could respond with sanctions against Michelle’s vacation plans, putting their vacation hot spots and airspace off limits.
