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 ones in Western Ukraine with the molotov cocktails, the looted police weapons and stockpiles of rocks are. And they could care less about other Ukrainians that get in between them and the Russians/Jews they have vowed to kill now that they have declared “independence”.

Oppositional defiance disorder is psych speak for arsehole.

We have a person occupying our White House who is a malignant narcissist with oppositional defiance disorder.

I think he secretly wants putin to be on top... of him!

When I first heard his limp statement on the current crisis in Ukraine; followed by his attendance tonight at a Dem fundraiser, I thought - Oh, that is just his style. Remember - he did much the same on Sept. 11, 2012 when our ambassador and three other Americans were dying in Benghazi.

I wonder what sort of excuse they will come up with tomorrow to explain his lamebrain attitude to this new crisis? They have used the phony video already; anyone want to make predictions?

So all western Ukrainians are nazis according to you.

The russians live in the eastern Ukraine. They are about as Ukrainian as a frenchman living in Italy makes him an Italian.

little warning in the White House press briefing room
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
So he has a ‘mini’ presser in regards to a World Event which should at least have our concern and it is with little warning.

Guess they figure that the one or two coverers of pressers with this fool that would ask a ‘reasonable question’ would have already left seeing as it is/was 5PM on a Friday evening.

So, if this is unannounced etc is the now seemingly daily appearances by the ‘inner circle’ well planned?

Even had joebama ‘asking’ answer(s) on Jeopardy tonight.
