Hey, Obama! You’re a first-term, rookie Senator with the flintiest resume of any candidate for president from a major party in US history! You’re a nobody who was created from whole cloth by the MSM, and you bluffed your way into convincing a horde of flatliners that you have more substance than a piece of one-ply tissue.

[DuncanWaring]

Maybe he figures they’ll walk out like they did before the Korean vote in 1950.

Or maybe he’s just an idiot.

[South40]

IS THIS THE BEST THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAN COME UP WITH AS A CANDIDATE?

Yes.

[the anti-liberal]

"It shows that not only does Obama have no idea how the UN works, but also that his advisors have no idea how the UN works."

Doesn't he have 300 foreign policy advisors? Or was that only on his "man of the world" Euro tour?

[jennyjenny]

The man is a turd. And a stupid one at that. Yes, this is the best the dems can do and it’s worse than the last election.

Unfortuately, some of us find it gut-wrenching to tout Johnny Mac. The downsides of an Obama presidency (or any responsible position) are easy to identify. Most voters don’t care to see any candidate beat into the ground unless it involves severe moral shortcomings. Voters want a positive to hang onto. So what is the big seller for Johnny Mac? Come on. We need a positive T-shirt.

This won’t hurt Obama because the average American doesn’t understand such as vetos or permanent members. The ladies at the beauty parlor consider that the nice young man Barack was on the mark by suggesting that the UN condemn these actions by Russia. This is what the UN does after all, right?

Sadly, you are correct.

[Nik Naym]

“Check third paragraph...of article.....when did he say this???”

When did who say what?

[jennyjenny]

You're sounding a little down. Chin up, little buckaroo.

[EDINVA]

Wasn’t Richardson Slick Willie’s AMBASSADOR to the UN????

[FrankR]

As my Texas friend would say, "Obama is all hat, and no cattle."

It’s 3 AM and the phone rings at the White House. John McCain gets out of bed, summons his advisors and deals with the problem. Obama tells the caller to call the UN, rolls over and goes back to sleep. Snore. Next morning, Michele asks, “what was that all about? Obama replies, “nothing, what’s for breakfast?”.

I could see "Hey, Obama" becoming the new start to a line of jokes to replace the tired "Your momma is so ..." series.

[ApplegateRanch]

SO BARRY OBAMA WANTS THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL TO VOTE ON A PROPOSAL THAT RUSSIA ITSELF WOULD VETO!

IS THIS THE BEST THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAN COME UP WITH AS A CANDIDATE?

Bwaaahahahahaha!

Maybe he would first have a vote to amend the Charter to read that a Permanent Member would have to abstain on resolutions that adversely affect them....

[4woodenboats]

I tried to post the absurdity of the UN attempting to censure a permanent member of the security council in the comments section following the article - with a hat tip to you, of course - but they didn't post it, and after 59 posts, no one had thought of it....as far as anyone knows.

I'm shocked, I tell ya, just shocked.

[dennisw]

Barry is an idiot..... What does he know about Russia and foreign policy? He’s a community organizer. His expertise is socialist give away programs to buy votes.

[4woodenboats]

Voters want a positive to hang onto. So what is the big seller for Johnny Mac? Come on. We need a positive T-shirt.

How about "My grandson is an Honor Student AND has 10 times more foreign policy savy than your candidate."

[reasonisfaith]

Maybe Obama was thinking he could prevent the Russian ambassador from vetoing by causing him to faint.
