President Barack Obama challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin’s defense of his involvement in Ukraine, arguing Tuesday that there is widespread consensus that Russia is violating international law and urging Putin to agree to talks to de-escalate the situation.
“There is a strong belief that Russia’s action is violating international law,” Obama said at an elementary school in the District of Columbia after introducing his proposed 2015 budget. “President Putin seems to have a different set of lawyers making a different set of interpretations. I don’t think that’s fooling anybody.”

International “law” ROFLMAO.
International law is “who has the bigger and baddest military and is not afraid to use it.”
Vladimir has a pen and a phone. 0bama and Boehner should get together and cry on each other’s shoulder. They are both doormats, unworthy of respect.
Oh that will throw shivers up and down Putin’s back...
Perhaps this is the Danny Kay presidency, without all the lucky breaks.
A black Walter Mitty lives...
“Did zer0 indicate when he would be filing his civil action to stop this madness?”
Unfortunately, he lacks “standing.”
You know what sucks? Calling someone on violating the law when you’ve spent the last five years violating, rewriting by fiat, and ignoring the law yourself.
No moral authority available. No higher ground from which to condemn the action.
Live like a third-world Halfrican dictator, be ridiculed like a third-world halfrican dictator.
I have a strong belief that rounding up Jews, putting them on trains, stealing their bank accounts, putting Jews in concentration camps and killing them violated international law. So did invading Poland, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, Albania, Russia, North Africa.
Adolf said, “so what?”
“There is a strong belief that Russia’s action is violating international law,” Obama said at an elementary school in the District of Columbia after introducing his proposed 2015 budget. “President Putin seems to have a different set of lawyers making a different set of interpretations. I don’t think that’s fooling anybody.”
Class: Write a 10 page paper by Friday discussing the perspectives of each party and how they comport with International Law.
Next week we will hold a Pro-Forma United Nations Session to debate this to death.
After which, exactly nothing will occur.
Thank you very much.
I'm sowwy Pwesident Putin but I shall have to thowougly castigate you.That wascawi Putin!...................
Takes one to know one.
As is subsidizing AlQuaida in Syria. (sarcasm of course) I don't know why people are defending Obama and condemning Putin. That uprising in Kiev was out of control, and no one seems to be denying that the "peaceful protesters" were trained by others, probably with our blessing.
Putin defended Russians and stopped the chaos from spreading into Crimea. Obama wouldn't even defend our embassy staff in Libya.
Gee Putin better be careful or Obama will sue him in court. What a joke. ... Obama makes Jimmy Carter look competent.
This coming from the man who has been breaking Constitutional Law for the last 6 years.
What an a$$hat
Obama is such a hypocrite!What about all of the US drone strikes in the middle east that killed thousands???
Oh my, such a strong decisive statement by the boy king. I’m sure pooty is shaking in his shoes.
I really don’t think he has any beliefs....
Oh yes he does...he believes he’ll play golf.
I liked what Rush said today about Obama/Kerry...
They will ask Putin “didn’t you get that memo about conflict resolution!”
I saw the expert in conflict resolution when my kids were in elem. school. Supposed to be able to talk to the child and reason with him...
She was literally DRAGGING him down the hall to the principle’s office. Gotta Love it! LOL
