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.”

Well, happy hour means different things to different people. With conservatives, happy hour is liquor at discounted prices, and maybe hot dogs or meat balls during happy hour. With liberals, happy hour is cocaine and gay sex in bathrooms.

Russian gas pipelines run through both Eastern and Western Ukraine. That complicates things.

Was Boehner invited?

This is all a Marxist ploy to humiliate America. Set red lines, allow others to cross them, laugh about it.

Sometimes I think that an asteroid is on a collision course with Earth and he and his minions are the only ones that know about it.

“The Jews in the USSR constitute the most faithful support of the ruling Bolshevik regime, and the vanguard of Muscovite imperialism in Ukraine. The Muscovite-Bolshevik government exploits the anti-Jewish sentiments of the Ukrainian masses to divert their attention from the true cause of their misfortune and to channel them in a time of frustration into pogroms on Jews. The OUN combats the Jews as the prop of the Muscovite-Bolshevik regime and simultaneously it renders the masses conscious of the fact that the principal foe is Moscow.” - Stepan Bandera - a Ukrainian nationalist leader.

Just from a Goebbels book. And anyone surprised why Russians are so suspicious towards Ukrainian ‘freedom fighters’?

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

Out of his depth, absolutely. But someone out of his depth who had half a heart would not go to happy hour - he would be too worried about lives lost, and his responsibility for hit. This man has no heart, no compassion, no feelings for others AT ALL. He could no doubt walk through a field of recently aborted babies, then wipe the blood off his shoes and immediately sit down to a sumptuous meal and regale his audience about the latest 18 holes of golf.

I still remember his 'shout out to Dr Joe Medicine Crow' a few hours after a dozen (unarmed) soldiers were murdered at Ft Hood.

Our president is a sociopath.

I read somewhere that historians and anthropologists had determined the the breakup of Czechoslovakia was the first time in the 6000+ years of recorded human history that a country of any significance had split up amicably, peacefully, and without any animosity. This was fairly mind-boggling.

The phrase "Happy Hour President" fits him quite well.

He seems more comfortable on the golf course or partying with celebrities in an expensive fashion than actually doing the hard work of governing the country.

Exactly...He’s never done any hard work or anything productive in his life, let alone since being POTUS.

It’s all just one big party for him and the misses. Just like DHS was a frat house with Janet.
