OBAMA: Yesterday I said “It looks like this may be a terrible tragedy.”
And I was right. It WAS a terrible tragedy.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m late for a tee time.
Obama: “After several hours of consultation with my cabinet, I now the following....where the Ukraine is on my neat Presidential map.”
That's because the game is over. Putin has effectively cut off the air route from the West to Oz and SE\Asia. Kerry just needs to rearrange the seats at the Hague for the handover of the Eastern Ukraine. Game Set Match to Putin.
He’ll try to blame Republicans...

Nahhh. He’ll go all Benghazi again and blame a Christian anti-muslim video.
Maybe they brought in a new joke writer.
Apparently, the jokes in his speech yesterday didn’t go over too well — with his folks in the media. Some media even referred to it a ‘jokey’ speech.
Would be a good bet he mentions all the AIDS people on the flight before the Americans.
There will be consequences...those responsible WILL be held accountable...Someone has crossed a red line...my first concern were the Americans that were on board...I can’t take any questions because I have to leave for a fundraiser at Martha’s Vineyard.
About as safe a bet as betting that the Texas Rangers won't win the World Series this year.
Neither. Gidget.
I put the over/under at 12:05, the start of the Rush Limbaugh Show.
He wants a do-over now, since he’s been criticized.
His cue cards will read:
1) Look serious.
2) Speak in angry tone.
3) Do not fist bump until out of camera range.
Will this be before or after a fund raiser?
Evidently he’s figured out some way for the Dems to make money and/or political hay out of this semi-tragedy.
Rush is off today.....
UN Security Council is on CSPAN now discussing the missile take down of the plane.
A FReeper has an animation on his page of Zer0 bowing to the Saudi king....doin' the head-bob thing. I posted it here a couple of weeks ago and got a week's worth of suspension....heh.

Obama: Make no mistake- when I heard about this on the news yesterday I was as mad as anyone. See? This what the Republicans have brought us to. I have a pen and I’m not afraid to use it. What a beautiful day here in DC! Hey, if you guys want a good burger try the Charcoal Pit near Wilmington. Order the Pit Special! God bless America!
That’s funny. It’s all we get anymore. Boilerplate.
