GOP senators want Obama to take further steps against Russia (McCain & Graham)
The Hill ^ | August 8, 2013 | Jeremy Herb

President Obama should expand sanctions against Russian human rights violators, Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Thursday.

The two senators issued a joint statement that said they “obviously agree” with Obama’s decision to cancel a planned meeting next month with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

But the two said Obama should go much farther.

They called on the president to finish the last phase of a European missile defense shield that’s been scrapped and push for a new round of NATO expansion to include Georgia.

“Now we must move beyond symbolic acts and take the steps necessary to establish a more realistic approach to our relations with Russia,” McCain and Graham said. “That means demonstrating to the Russian government that there will be consequences for its continued actions that undermine American national interests.”

Those two nut jobs are going to get us all killed! You know they are involved in Egypt and were up to the eyeballs in it in Lybia smuggling weapons to Syria.

Seriously, how ignorant can McStupid and his gal pal Lindsay be? Expand NATO??

Obama has proven over and over and over (along with his enablers Hitlery, Lurch, and Valerie) that HE IS AN UNRELIABLE ALLY.

No one trusts him, McStupid and Lindsay, except you two old ladies.

He couldn’t have been worse than.....could he? Anyway, just like Mrs Thatcher performed a spine transplant on GH Bush before the first Gulf war, VP Sarah Palin would have had to perform a cerbral transplant on JMC. Either that or put poison in his soup..., :-)
