“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.

Boys and girls....this is what you get when you put liars and fools in charge of your country.....

The Shill exists for misdirection. The Grifter makes the decisions.

Obama's handlers have no idea what to do about a Putin.

They can't have a laughing stock US define Russia a rogue state, destablize and install a puppet. The usual MO.

Any thinking person knows this is why he never shows up to meetings, takes calls, appears bored our of his skull when he does show up, etc.

It is the only plausible explanation.

[skimbell]

Said he was going to take a couple of Midols and lie down for awhile.

[VRWC For Truth]

He’s in way over his pay grade.

Valarie was there prob, so no need for the Fair Way King to upset his schedule for petty nonsense!

[GreyFriar]

Saturday day was quite lovely and perfect weather for 18 holes of golf at Andrews AFB. He was probably there while the meeting was going on. One must have one’s priorities straight!

Yes, we do have a black, socialist, racist Alfred E. Neuman in the White House.

Quite the collection of dumbazzes.

[depressed in 06]

Don’t worry, he will read his decision on TOTUS.

Gee, watta relief. Susan Rice is on the job---pumping her nowhere resume, as usual.

No big deal....even though Obama skipped the world crisis meeting, he was fully briefed by Susan Rice. No doubt she told him "go ahead and golf.....no need for concern, Putin and his army are just in Ukraine filming a travel documentary".....

===================================================

US security? Forget it. Rice's main concern is pumping her thin resume. This loser will do anything to save her frickin' a**, after her infamous Benghazi lie-a-thon.

Rice and hubby showed up on "60 Minutes," whining about being "victims" b/c they are interracial. Compliant 60 Minutes always gives lock-stepping Democrats a chance to show their party loyalty. Why CBS does not require Dem lock-steppers to wear brown shirts, I'll never know (cackle).

OBAMA / RICE ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD: "Susan, let's
make sure the cameras get this staged photo-op to pump your resume."

RICE: "60 Minutes is helping me pump my resume, too."

He’s bullying anyone who refuses to comply with his ideas.
