Americans should focus their ire on Russian President Vladimir Putin and not offer partisan attacks on President Barack Obama, Rep. Chris Van Hollen said Sunday.

"We’re 48 hours from an international crisis, I would hope Americans would focus on condemning the actions of Putin rather than in a knee-jerk way, again, criticizing the president of the United States," the Maryland Democrat said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Van Hollen appeared on the program after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) blasted Obama for being outmaneuvered...

Liberals react to any criticism of Obama as if acid were being dripped on their brains.

We would be extremely irresponsible to not focus on the greatest threat to our National Security, Barak Hussein Obama.

Why?

Putin took advantage of an known idiot, And I’m supposed to put my faith in the idiot?

Kidding right? Obama’s been outflanked and outmaneuvered
at every single turn. This latest move by Putin is a piece of the geopolitical realignments taking place and The Won is over his head.

Obama more interested in “Gays” then the American nation!!! Van Hollen is about as dumb as a person can become!!! Putin is having a ball with the person we call POTUS Obama and his inept Democrat Party!!! The entire world scoffs and laughs at the once almighty USA & its “moron/buffoon” POTUS, Obama!!!

What good is criticizing the actions of Putin, when we have a pantywaist sissy boy as commander in chief who hates America more than Putin does?

This all happened because the US has no credible foreign policy other than Obama’s dedicated commitment to making the US a third rate world power.

Ha! Obama, with his corrupt marxist agenda and his deviant drive to faggotize our institutions, is far more destructive and far more of an enemy to “my” America than Putin could ever hope to be.

I hope Putin rubs the bastard’s nose in his humiliation.

No, no, no, we wouldn’t want to examine’s the POTUS’s leadership during an “international crisis” would we? Judging him upon his performance and track record? That’s only for conservatives.

Seriously though, that does sound a bit panicky coming from ‘rate.

I’m far more likely to encounter soldiers ordered by Obastard than I am by Putin, so I’ll just keep my attention on the more appropriate one, thank you.

Good post. I would be laughing except for the fact that it is so horribly true.

We can’t have a focus put on both?

Oh I forgot, democrats have half a brain at best.
