A White House official emailed some reporters to say that President Obama's team met today to discuss the ongoing situation on Ukraine. It appears President Obama did not attend.

"The President's national security team met today to receive an update on the situation in Ukraine and discuss potential policy options. We will provide further updates later this afternoon," reads the full statement.

I think he is mentally unstable. If hit with the unvarnished truth he would end up in a ball on the floor.

Why should he attend national security meeting about Ukraine?? He didn’t even stick around as USA security was under attack on the anniversary of 9/11 by terrorists in Benghazi???

Truth is..I wouldn’t. .our so called leader are the far more destructive to our country...I feel like and anti-nazi german in 45 in Berlin with the Russian Communist at the gate...you want to shoot both ways..but in our version of a Patriots nightmare there is no Savior from the west....we just have the enemy destroying us inside the walls and out side the walls.
The only Savior now is from above

I wonder if the people would rally around the president if we got attacked

Diminishing the army, firing generals, reducing military benefits, If we were attacked tomorrow on our own shores, how capable does anyone believe this administration (despite all the guns and ammo various branches of the government have purchased) would be?

He was busy planning our invasion of Uganda, so just get off his back. Thanks tje.

[Verginius Rufus]

Why should he care if Russia and Ukraine fight it out? Just a bunch of crackers. Not his people.

Every President must set some foreign policy priorities. His seem to be opposing anti-Muslim and anti-homosexual prejudices wherever they might show up.

[VerySadAmerican]

That’s exactly how I feel. And, truthfully, I wish I didn’t.

Good Lord, looks like he trying to pull something out of his butt.

The usual, “I didn’t know nuthin’” excuse.

Blake Hounshell, a former editor of Foreign Policy who is now an editor with Politico, called Palin’s prediction an “extremely far-fetched scenario” at the time.

Blake Hounshell's in luck - liberals don't hold each other accountable for anything. They can be wrong every time - every time for years - and they won't blink. Goes with the territory. It's one of the reasons the press has lost credibility.
