Former President Barack Obama issued a message of support for President Joe Biden on Thursday, urging Americans to unite behind economic sanctions against Russia.
“Every American, regardless of party, should support President Biden’s efforts, in coordination with our closest allies, to impose hard-hitting sanctions on Russia,” Obama said in a statement sent to reporters, defending Biden’s sanctions as a serious attempt to put “a real price on Russia’s autocratic elites.”
Obama’s statement of support for Biden follows his own failure to stop Putin from annexing Crimea in 2014 when he was president.
The former president also urged Americans to embrace any economic pain that they would suffer as a result of sanctions on Russia.
“There may be some economic consequences to such sanctions, given Russia’s significant role in world energy markets,” Obama wrote. “But that’s a price we should be willing to pay to take a stand on the side of freedom.”
The former president urged Americans to think globally and act to defend freedom for not only Ukrainians but for people around the world.
“The consequences of Russia’s reckless actions extend beyond Ukraine’s borders,” he said.
Obama warned of the “forces of division and authoritarianism” that were taking root around the world and said Putin’s “brazen attack” should be confronted.

He says this while he builds a waterfront mansion in Hawaii

F@ck this asshole.
This is just the “get used to it” part of the globalist plan, the big prize is when the Chinese take Taiwan.
Just wait for the “pain” they ask you to accept after that.
One call, that’s all.
Biden’s handlers, or the Democratic Party, called Obama for a bit of good PR in this crisis. I’m no smart cookie, but I know why this statement was made.
Go away, Barry.
Biden has given us about all the economic pain we can handle, thank you!!!
We accept the pain and then what? What is the benefit to us?
We no that price controls always work.(/s)
Do we ever embrace economic pain to protect our borders or reduce our surplus with the militant CCP?
The Putin in the Russia invading the Ukraine will have far less impact.
Get bent.. by big mike.
Painful as a wall on a pristine Hawaiian beach?
Hey Obozo - KMA!
Of course nothing happened in Canada that resulted in the last four weeks, right Barack?
Or 'pandemic of the unvaccinated'?
Or the crap we put up with from 2008-2016, or your third term?
All the "right" people are indicating that Ukraine was being used for dirty dealings--Burisma and who knows what else.
‘...“But that’s a price we should be willing to pay to take a stand on the side of freedom.”
This infuriates me. Obama is not going to fill a price to pay. Gilden cage, elite, pansy-ass. And Obama’s supporters are nodding, “Oh, yes, let’s not drive our caddilacs for a while.”
He’s back. . .but then he never left.
