Obama declares ‘happy hour’ with Dems minutes after Ukraine tough talk
The Washington Times ^ | February 28, 2014 | Ben Wolfgang

Minutes after issuing a stern warning to Russia and saying there will be a price to pay if it interferes militarily in Ukraine, President Obama headed to a “happy hour” with fellow Democrats.

Speaking at a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee, Mr. Obama struck a very different tone than he had less than 30 minutes earlier, when he appeared with little warning in the White House press briefing room and issued a vague threat to Moscow.

“Well, it’s Friday. It’s after 5 o’clock. So, this is now officially happy hour with the Democratic party,” the president told his cohorts. “I can do that. It is an executive action. I have the authority.”

An audience member then asked the president to “tell us about your plans for nuclear war with Russia.”

The sad thing is that he fully understands happy hour and is serious about it.

I sense this sort of bizarre extension of his overplaying his hand in jest...just as he has done in utter seriousness wont go down nearly as well as he might assume... in his narcissistic haze.

Russia is in control of Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, and Kharkiv.

The areas west have the Bandera Nazis stocking up on rocks, molotov cocktails and weapons they’ve looted from the police stations they’ve taken over. Saying their going to kill all the Russians and Jews.

And Obama thinks it’s happy hour.

I’m partly surprised that he didn’t invite Putin to the happy hour to celebrate his complete capitulation to the new tsar of the kremlin.

The phrase ‘out of his depth’ doesn’t come close to describing the situation here.

I have no problem with the Russians dividing Ukraine . It’s big . There should be a East Ukraine and a West Ukraine . Calmly divided and an open and easy process for folks in one side to migrate peacefully to the other , with all their possessions and with possible property swaps and so forth .
If Putin can pull this off without a lot of bloodshed , it would be amazing .

This is the same thing he did when Benghazi went up in flames.
