LOL: Good Morning America Claims Obama Gave Russia 'Harsh Warning' Over Ukraine
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/01/2014 5:32:30 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Perhaps because President Obama is looking pitiably weak in his mano a mano with Vladimir Putin over the Ukraine, ABC News chose to bury the story during today's Good Morning America. Incredibly, the Ukrainian crisis the show-opening teaser didn't mention the Ukraine--but did highlight the latest on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. As the program unfolded, and before saying a word about the Ukraine, GMA inexcusably chose to air segments on rain in California, snow in the North, a laser being shined into a plane's cockpit, an airplane bird strike, the arrest of a Mexican drug lord, the cause of Philip Seymour Hoffman's death, and Mardi Gras in Brazil.

When GMA finally got around to the most serious story in the world right now, it did its best to protect President Obama. Two nights ago on FNC, Charles Krauthammer did a devastating take-down on President Obama's feeble statement, saying “the Ukrainians, and I think everybody, is shocked by the weakness of Obama’s statement. I find it rather staggering.” So how did GMA's reporter Alex Marquardt describe the Obama statement? As a "harsh warning."

Gag me with a kalashnikov, and view the video here.

Pathetic: Good Morning America teases Real Housewives of New Jersey but not the Ukraine; claims Obama issued “harsh warning.” Ping to Today show list.

Didn’t some actress recently mention how disgusted she was by the number of reporters sleeping with their ‘sources’ in the Washington area? A satanic sewer, that is for certain.

His handlers had him make a statement to downplay his fundraising and cocktail partying.

“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.”

Just as soon as Obama finds his red magic marker, he will draw those lines and really terrify Putin.

One of the biggest, baddest, most feared Mobsters in the world is Ukrainian.
Semion Mogilevich

It will be interesting to see what happens to the entire world once Putin dies.

Talk about a power vacuum.

Meanwhile, Obama is a pansy talking head.

“Harsh warning” what bull $#it. He gave his buddy, Vlad and wink and a nod to do whatever they want. The freedom fighters of the Ukraine will get no help from the US. But if they were an African nation we’d be all in. Recall Bam’s message through Medvedev to Putin; tell Vlad I’ll be able to deal after the election.
