Perhaps because President Obama is looking pitiably weak in his mano a mano with Vladimir Putin over the Ukraine, ABC News chose to bury the story during today's Good Morning America. Incredibly, the Ukrainian crisis the show-opening teaser didn't mention the Ukraine--but did highlight the latest on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. As the program unfolded, and before saying a word about the Ukraine, GMA inexcusably chose to air segments on rain in California, snow in the North, a laser being shined into a plane's cockpit, an airplane bird strike, the arrest of a Mexican drug lord, the cause of Philip Seymour Hoffman's death, and Mardi Gras in Brazil.
When GMA finally got around to the most serious story in the world right now, it did its best to protect President Obama. Two nights ago on FNC, Charles Krauthammer did a devastating take-down on President Obama's feeble statement, saying the Ukrainians, and I think everybody, is shocked by the weakness of Obamas statement. I find it rather staggering. So how did GMA's reporter Alex Marquardt describe the Obama statement? As a "harsh warning."
Gag me with a kalashnikov, and view the video here.

Someday the sleeping low-knowledge people will learn what the Monster Media has done. Hopefully, if by then any are survivors of the coming storm, they’ll be angry. They should be angry with themselves, but they’ll probably blame somebody else. Anybody else. The Monster Media “Press” will tell them who to blame and who to tar & feather.
And they will probably do as they are told.
As the General said, “You can’t fix stupid.”
Vivid memories of George H. Bush and his endless warnings to Saddam come to mind. And mealy-mouthed April Glaspie.
But wait, Not just "something like this", she made a statement saying, Russia would probably take Ukraine just as they had taken Georgia in 2008. Damn, she was RIGHT again. RUN SARAH RUN

STERN!!!
Compared to Vladimir Putin, who continues to bestride the world like a colossus, our president looks like a pathetic little mouse squeaking out laughable threats from a teleprompter.
No reasonable person can take America seriously as long as Barack Obama is in the White House. Which will give Mr. Putin three years to re-conquer the former Soviet states into a mighty Russian federation and move on to more outlying areas.
They would LOVE to establish an Emperor in the United States. That's their dream. Along the North Korean model.
The “expert” on CBS called Obama’s comments a warning shot.
I had a moment of pause this morning when I wondered:
What would Obama do if Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran all decided to have major military movements at the same time?
[Jarrett would be crying for Hillary to come back and help.]
It is sort of going on already.
==
But, yesterday, Obama got applause when he declared ‘it is 5 o’clock so the Dems are off to Happy Hour.’
[Makes one feel cozy and safe, doesn’t it?]
I wonder what Putin called them.
He loves saying that......
... and stick his lipstick in his ribs! LOL
Network news it’s expected.
Awesome movie
I tweeted him as follows about that comment and he replied.
Warning shot? How about another random red line no one will respect.
I’ve said often our credibility was crippled after Syria red-line debacle. A dangerous, self-fulfilling prophecy of US decline.
