“What, me worry?” seems to be the operating philosophy of President Obama as a serious crisis brews in Eastern Europe. Daniel Halper reports an almost unbelievable level of Obama nonchalance toward his national security responsibilities in the Weekly Standard:

A White House official emailed some reporters to say that President Obama's team met today to discuss the ongoing situation on Ukraine. It appears President Obama did not attend.

"The President's national security team met today to receive an update on the situation in Ukraine and discuss potential policy options. We will provide further updates later this afternoon," reads the full statement.

But:

According to Time magazine's Zeke Miller, Obama skipped the meeting. "Obama did not attend the meeting, but WH official says he has been briefed by Susan Rice and his national security team," says Miller.

That way he can claim ignorance of the decisions and blame others for the problems.

Lock the doors and call Cheney.

I wish! This reminded me of an old SNL skit - Regan was being portrayed as a bumbling, senile old man, talking to a child. Then, behind closed doors, he takes command, starts giving orders, details and assignments on a developing issue. Funny.

We now have a CIC who knows NOTHING about the world. And his vision will make us Zimbabwe or Cuba.

What do you want from a professional aggitator? The missing link probably cares not one whit about any of this because his goal is to leave office with everyone on the public dole and the US as a third rate world former power. His fawns will marvel about how they are living a comfortable life basking in his magnificance. Whomever follows him, well, they will be the bill collector making el presidente’s era look so much better by comparison.

On our current trajectory, which is picking up speed on the downside every day, by Jan 2017 most all of the former USSR will be back more powerful then when the enigma took over here; the middle east will be worse off too with most of the countries allied with either Russia or Iran, south america will be in an economic bloc with both China and Russia and the US will be reduced to the economic equal of Britain or Italy while deplomatically we will have the status of Portugal and a military status on a par with France.

or was it a card game— I hear he wanted a rematch from when his Ambassador and three former Navy SEALS got buggared by his Muslim Brothers.

He was trying new dresses, silk panties and a new shade of lipstick before his next bath house trip.

The idiot can't even vote “present” anymore.

He was likely high and bowed out.

Does he have a vision?

And, if so, does his vision count?

Who is really running the White House? Is it Obama? Or is it Valerie Jarrett? And, if it's Jarrett, who does she report to?

Who's on the other end of the President's personal (and unmonitored) Blackberry?

Weak leaders cause major wars. We have some doozies coming our way thanks to this pussy.

Apparently the only people he is capable of bullying are American citizens.

No, he’s the smartest man in the room, remember? (His own words.) He doesn’t need any information.

“Why show up when everything is going as planed. The goal
is to get Russian military bases established in Cuba and
Venezuela.”

Exactly.

Meanwhile, this guy has a very superficial view of the world plus that view is overlayed with his muzzie upbringing. This guy is a product of muzzie and commie indoctrination with no values rooted in the Judeo Christian world.

BTW, I am not in favor of any involvement by the US in the Ukraine matter as I don’t view us as the policeman of the world. Unfortunately, before the missing link came about, we projected power and an intent to use it which kept many at bay, today that projection is gone, kind of like Europe circa 38 with Hitler reading the west as ineffective and doing whatever he wanted. Barry’s first official action with the Ruskies, the removal of our agreement to furnish the Poles and Chek Republic the defense missiles they wanted, showed Putin our el presidente was not committed to any even reasonable push back. He cut them loose from an established agreement to give Putin the green light on whatever he wanted to do. Kind of like when our ambassador to Iraq never conveyed strong disapproval of any move into Kuwait. Mass rushes in to fill a vacume.

It all started in the 60’s.

Why the surprise that he didn’t attend the security meeting?

Listen to his statement regarding the Russian move into the Ukraine. It was about as lackluster as any he has ever given. He was reading words. He had no interest, no real concern.

He showed more passion over the Beer Summit during his first term than over the current Ukraine situation.

Does he have a vision?

Yes. The same vision of Marx, Lennin and Stalin. And unfortunately it counts because the eGOP, the democRats and the Media either support him or will not oppose his vision.

We need a revolution to take back America.
