Obama Flies to A Europe Shaken by Putin's Bold Strategy

resident Barack Obama flies Sunday to a Europe shaken by Vladimir Putin’s seizure of Crimea and his threats against eastern parts of Ukraine.

At a summit conference at The Hague on preventing nuclear terrorism – scheduled long before the Ukraine crisis – Obama will confer with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other leaders. On Monday afternoon Obama will meet with President Xi Jinping of China, Russia’s neighbor and sometime rival.

Putin has forced the United States and Europe to refocus on the origins of the modern transatlantic alliance -- the 1949 NATO defense partnership designed to prevent a Russian invasion of Western Europe.

“We live in a different world than we did less than a month ago,” NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told an audience in Washington last week. Russia's aggression is “a wake-up call for the Euro-Atlantic community, for NATO, and for all those committed to a Europe whole, free, and at peace.”

Russian brute force is a jarring diversion from Obama’s second-term agenda of combatting climate change...

Previous American presidents had occasional quarrels with European leaders, “but never were we faced with a kind of indifference that Obama seems to exude,” Joffe said.

Obama said Thursday that “America’s support for our NATO allies is unwavering.

“We are going to have to think very hard in Europe and in the United States about how we are going to respond to the Ukrainian government’s legitimate requests to have the wherewithal to defend itself,” said Francois Heisbourg...

In a conference call with reporters Thursday, an Obama administration official sounded quite non-committal on arming the Ukrainians.

[P.O.E.]

In their minds, WE are their real enemy. Of course, it’s just posturing to garner votes and live off the fat of the land. A perversion of “enlightened self interest” if ever there was one.

Talking has always got him what he wanted so I suppose he’ll just talk some more.

When that doesn’t work anymore he’ll blame someone else.

There are long roots in Kenya tied in with the Obama1’s role as alternate with family there. There are also roots in Indonesia tied in with Stanley Ann’s friends in the 2nd marriage of Stanley Ann to an Indonesian Soharo(?) and her friendship with Loretta Fuddy and the Subud cult.

[Aria]

I’d be surprised if someone hasn’t already tested his DNA.

Fat chance we’ll ever hear about it though.

Here's the photo NBC puts on this article.

Obama - The strong, confident leader.

And the headline - "Europe Shaken"

What pitiful propaganda.

[Aria]

I'm not so sure that he has any African blood in him. Take a look at pictures of some Indonesians, Filipinos, etc., and you'll see a striking resemblance.

including the curly hair and bowling ball head? His purple lips ARE curious....

[MHGinTN]

The title is nonsense. Little barry is doing as he’s told, so he is innocent in his own eyes and not afraid to do anything he’s told. He is no leader, so he is not capable of being ‘shaken’ by the acts of some other leader because it is over his affirmative action head.

[no-to-illegals]

Truly, Europe is shaken. They have to be worried obama is about to pull another obamanation.

[ronnie raygun]

What happened to the second coming of mandela? Good, let him throw is sh## over there we are pretty sick of it here

[DooDahhhh]

Well, you summed it up, rightly so.

[Marcella]

“can’t actually say what would like to say ... so will simply say a slut is a slut is a slut.”

It would have helped if she had only been with one man. There was maybe Davis and Obama, then that last one, Lolo Soetoro, and they renamed Barack Hussein, Barry Soetoro. Then, at some point, Barry changed his name to Barack Hussein Obama.

And, has it ever been determined that there were actual marriage licenses with Obama and Soetoro?

Barry/Barack Obama/Soetoro, is the president of the USA - what a miserable joke he is.

[353FMG]

You’re so right — especially Indonesian.

[no-to-illegals]

My thought is, it would be great if this were a joke but therein lays the joke and the joke is on the entire world.

[Bigg Red]

I used to give some credence to the claims that Obama, Sr. was not Obama’s real father until I saw Dinesh D’Sousa’s (sp?) movie. The name of the film escapes me at the moment, but I remember that it attempts to show how Obama’s hatred for America stems from his hatred for the former European colonial powers. Among the people interviewed in the movie is Obama’s half-brother, who was fathered by Obama, Sr.

The half-brother makes you think of Obama every time you see him speak. Looking at him made it pretty clear to me that they share a father. Something about the eyes.

If you like your country you can keep your country trust me.

I think most of the heads of State in Europe have always had Obama pegged as an idiot. They figured they could stroke his ego, go along with the things like "Green Unicorns" that were popular with their own crop of idiots, and before long manipulate Barry into whatever they wanted.

When they realized he was an idiot narcissist that thought they should kiss his rump they started to cool.

Now, I figure there's a good chance that either this trip or shortly thereafter, they're going to go out of their way to make him look bad and bruise his ego every way they can. One of the first times Barry was around Putin I saw a You-Tube clip that shows Putin and his crowd had Barry pegged from the start. There are the smiles and pictures, then Barry sticks out his hand to shake with Putin but Putin just looks down and buttons his jacket or something like that. Barry moves along the line of folks there with his hand out and his big grin, but everyone there snubbed him by looking away or just nodding and not taking his hand. Barry looked totally whipped and stunned.

That was no mistake, they had a psychological profile of him and knew how and when to smack down his ego to have the most effect on him. I can't believe the other Europeans don't know how to manipulate and snub him the same way if they want to. If they snub him the right way and threaten his narcissistic bubble, he'll come straight home and announce some big initiative to rebuild his ego. and the US is fed up with his big initiatives. That would seal the fate of who controls the Senate during King Barry's last two years in office and neutralize him as a factor in their getting energy from the US.

Maybe some Europeans like the poor gullible Poles still think they can talk Barry into not making big defense cuts and putting some people and/or hardware back in Europe which would keep them from snubbing him. If he starts hemming and hawing about shipping them coal and gas or how they should stay away from atomic energy, I think they might use the same approach the Russians in that clip did along with making him look bad on camera every chance they get.

Then again, what do I know? Maybe the Europeans are all just as stupid as Barry is in which case it's only a matter of time before someone over there breaks ranks with the EU and joins Putin's Eurasian whatnot because they have to have gas to keep their giant unicorns happy.

[GOPJ]

Hey EU then do something. Enough of this ‘Lafayette we are here’ crap. Been there, done that. We’re out of blood and treasure. Get off our dole.

Amen... We've got an invasion coming across our borders in the form of illegals - and politicians who don't give a damn about the Americans who already live here. That's enough on our plate.

[Organic Panic]

He has to pick up his red line before someone steps on it.

[pollywog]

You hit the nail on the head. He hates Christianity and all it stands for, period!

[dogcaller]

I bet Putin has already had Medvedev show the Chicago Jesus their file on him...he has the flexibilty to put sanctions on Duma family value type babes, but thats it.
