Two hundred ninety-five people are presumed dead and the evidence points at Russian-backed Ukrainian separatists, who were boasting earlier today on social media that they’d shot down what they thought was a Ukrainian cargo plane. This wasn’t the only plane crash in Ukraine recently either; U.S. officials blame the others on Russian proxies, so go figure that they’re the prime suspects in today’s horror too. (A separatist leader claims they didn’t do it but nobody believes him.) As Julia Ioffe says, taking down a passenger jet from Amsterdam means that the Ukraine war now has implications for civilians throughout Europe, not just those in Donetsk, which means (at a minimum) much harsher sanctions on Russia and dangerously poor relations with Moscow for NATO going forward. And yet, when O did finally step to the podium more than an hour later, here’s the wisdom his staff had prepared for him to impart:
“It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy.” Here’s the clip, which makes clear that his “statement on Ukraine” isn’t really a statement on Ukraine at all. It’s 60 seconds tacked onto a speech about infrastructure that was already planned for today. This guy will. not. be. thrown. off-message, even if people are falling from the sky over a war zone whose aggressors have already drawn U.S. sanctions. Exit quotation: “Let’s build some bridges. Let’s build some roads.”

That was good satire. Don’t be surprised if you get attacked.

Obama sends ships to Indian Ocean to begin search for
downed airliner... Confidence is high as Russian sources
indicate they know where black box is...
:-)
The black box for the Malaysian Airliner in Ukraine shoot down today is not the black box for the missing Malaysia plane thought to be in the ocean from a couple months ago.
“semi-retired”
hahahahaha
That is a good one
Looks more like retired to me with the occasional teleprompter moment.
Oh good, you noticed that. Obama on the other hand....
I’ll go with “seriously emotionally disordered.”
He is a classic sociopathic narcissist.
I like it!!!
Did he order fries and a shake with that burger? Inquiring minds want to know.
One of my pet peeves is when someone says “terrible tragedy”, like ther is ever a good one. But with this guy in charge, he probably does think there are good tragedies to use.
I will never use the job title that has been usurped when referring to the communist thug in our White House, but I did enjoy the modifier “semi-retired”. I will be thrilled when that bigot is finally retired for real and America has a chance to recover as much as possible from the destruction.
