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?
Yes. It is.
Lol! I just read the same thing at LGF. Obama is noooooo way ready for the presidency....And this makes it obvious TO EVERYONE.
Good. Gad.
They could’ve had Don Juan Edwards.
It could have been worse. Obama could have implored the Russians not to burn Atlanta.
Yes, We Can!!!! (uh, oops, I guess we can’t)
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open the mouth and remove all doubt.
See, but that’s where you’re wrong. Barry says that he wants to “push” for a Security Council resolution. Russian veto? Pshaw! Barry will wave his magic wand, the same one that will magically get the Pakistanis to fight harder against the Taliban, and all will be well.
Without reading further: Is it "Nyet!"?
Um...why do you think his handlers wouldn’t let Barry take any questions? he probably would have said he fears for the safety of that wonderful Georgian City he has visited, Atlanta.
Anyone who thinks the UN is the solution to anything is brain dead.
I had to laugh at CNN today. They kept saying McCain was taking advantage of the fact that Obama was on vacation to make a statement on Georgia, then they would proceed to air Obama’s statement from Hawaii.
McCain said, “We should move ahead with the resolution despite Russian veto threats, and submit Russia to the court of world public opinion.”
Obama will just hide behind McCain on this.
McCain’s statement here:

Dang. He could have sunk a little further.
Obama’s followers do not care who he is, where he’s been, what he does or what he says... They are set on electing him and nothing reported about him will change their minds and it wouldn’t matter if he’s a drug-addicted pedophile who has dead bodies in his closet.
If Obama had known of what he spoke he could have phrased it thus:
“I urge the UN to vote on condemning Russia for its actions. Force Russia to veto this proposal in front of the world’s eyes.”
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?
At National Review Online they have a link saying that members, including Permanent Members are supposed to abstain if they are a party to the dispute. Don’t know if it has ever been enforced, or if it can be enforcee/.
President Obama: “I call upon the United Nations to denounce Russian agression against Georgia!”
UN: “No.”
President Obama: “Oh well, I tried.”
