Hi RudeBoy, I'm paid big bucks to lie to the World, but I'll bend over for Obama for free!

U.S. President Barack Obama has caused confusion after claiming yesterday that Kosovo held a UN-assisted referendum for self-determination – misleading people over the true origins of the country. The U.S. President used the example to hit out against Russia's annexation of Crimea, but experts have noted that no such referendum took place, and implied that Obama's "incredible mistake" should elicit a retraction or correction from the White House.
The error came in a speech delivered at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, and has been remarked upon to Breitbart London by regional experts from both the United Kingdom and indeed from Kosovo. One source said the faux-pas was "the very last thing Kosovo and Serbia need" as the two seek to strengthen relations.
Obama said in his speech yesterday: "...Kosovo only left Serbia after a referendum was organised not outside the boundaries of international law, but in careful cooperation with the United Nations and with Kosovo’s neighbours. None of that even came close to happening in Crimea."
But none of it came close to happening in Kosovo either, as Milos Subotic, the International Relations Officer of the University of Pristina, Kosovo told Breitbart London.
"During his yesterday speech in Brussels, President Obama showed a lack of knowledge of the political situation in Kosovo. Kosovo never organised any kind of referendum, but the Assembly of Provisional Institutions of self-government of Kosovo made a unilateral declaration of independence on February 17th 2008.

Hey Europe, he’s your president too! And de facto guarantor of your security. And sending your kids to die in Afghanistan for “NATO”.
Your libs were in love with this idiot to replace that “cowboy” George Bush. Keep him, please
Grade A moron. Kosovo was stolen under far more egregious terms from Serbia.

GWB did more that enough to legitimize the Kosovo entity.
It should be pointed out the US disregarded Serbia’s Constitution in supporting the illegal secession of Kosovo from Serbia at the time.
Russians are amused to hear the US lecture them about disregard for Ukraine’s Constitution. That is why they rightly throw the Kosovo precedent back in America’s face.
America did not annex Kosovo.
Lie to me.
He has the same hands off wave of liars Hillary had on Bengazi interrogation.
And Putin chuckles has his tanks rev-up opposite Kharkov.
GWB... as usual, RINOs dragged into Democrat smutt joyfully as if nothing was wrong like a little kid mag subscription turning hard core without its ratings changing.
The GOPe are a bunch of intellectual cowards

The GOPe are a bunch of intellectual cowards lead by the nose into another WWIII siding with Hitler and Islanic codling KLA connections . They love the pimp guidance.
Oh BS. You know very well there were Russian troops patrolling the streets of Crimea during that “real” election.
It must be getting awfully crowded under Putler’s desk by now.
There were only two questions on the ballot: (1) “Do you want to be part of Russia?” and (2) “Do you want to be independent?” The ballot did not offer the option of remaining a part of Ukraine.
We don't know that with absolute certainty; in fact we don't know who all of his advisors are. A name pops up occasionally, and no one has a clue whether it an "official" (paid) position" or a shadow figure lurking in the background or under rocks.
What are the legal rules? Is a President obligated to divulge all his official and unofficial advisors? Is there such a list? Observers and concerned groups may or may not have compiled an ongoing list of that "shadow presidency." Aren't citizens of the Republic entitled to know who they are?
Is there an official or unofficial accounting available of who they all are?
To this day, I have no clue what individuals wrote Obamacare, the ACA Act. I just know with certainty that the elected officials with the power to create laws are just as clueless as I am. They have admitted as much, they couldn't be bothered to read it before they "passed it. The same with the additional 30,000 pages of "clarifying" rules and regulations.
An activist "community organizer," without an ounce of experience in the free exchange, private enterprise system, a real world executive position, zero knowledge and experience of the Constitutional ( beyond the tools with which to exploit it for the benefit of the indolent) or in world foreign policy and affairs, economics, science, math or any other useful knowledge somehow got elected president. Twice.
But, as Hillary would say, “What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?”
All the difference in the world. How, otherwise can We the People fight the damned cultural cancer?
Let's get that list going. Who actually runs this country?
Obama thinks he can lie to the world the same as he does to US citizens.
The truth should be told no matter how it shakes out for your own interests. The O admin is adverse to the truth.
No harm can be done that can’t be worked out with the truth, but much harm comes from lying.
This is as bad as his 57 American States!
I’m not the one who admires a little creepy runt who makes out with the belly buttons of ten year old boys.
Yeah, but “What difference does it make??” /sarc
Solipsism
Obama reality lives only in his mind. With each twisted statement the US loses credibility. Credibility that often cannot be regained.
Society is sustained by warranted trust. Once that trust is lost by such corruption of character, it is done.
Imagine if a member of the loyal opposition had said something so stupid.
