But he already called Vlad up on the hot line and reasoned with him for over an hour. Didn't you see the picture?

What else do you expect him to do now? /s

Tex, I think the very best we can hope for is the the “O” does nothing at all. My take on this is that the investment community is silently praying that he takes another vacation.

Uh, well yes, he has a pen and a telephone, so I guess his next step will be to send a letter or a post card.

The Cubans sent soldiers to Grenada in the 80s and we sent the military to send them packing. Grenada was a “sovereign” country but one within our sphere of influence. How is this situation really any different? Ukraine in general and Crimea in particular are not Germany and they’re not Poland. They’re geopolitical areas that historically been under the Russian umbrella. Just as Grenada basically was under ours.

Their socialist dictator can whip our socialist would-be dictator. My only hope is that the two of them sour American youth on socialist dictators.

There is still hope. Maybe Zero will man up, take charge, and put Putin on double secret probation.

Nope, he’s doing exactly what he planned to do before the election. If Romney had been more keyed in with the military and intelligence departments he’d have had advisors that would have helped him bring this to light.

Obama is doing exactly what he wants.

Well he sent Johneffin Kerry to Kiev where he will stand facing Moscow and shake his long-faced head reprovingly!
I am sure Putin will quickly scurry out of Crimea!

Bottom line, Putin made his correct calculations: the West is too impotent to do a damn thing. We did it purposefully and willfully. Putin is simply filling the vacuum.
Do I agree with the aggression? No. But realisticly there is not a lot that can be done.

Maybe they could concentrate on not letting Putin protect any Russian speakers in Sheboygan....

Putin is looking out for Russia.

Obama is looking to destroy America.

That is the difference.

What? Obama can't consult a priestess at Apollo's oracle for the wisdom of the ages?

Those Greek columns Obama built must have been, totally, just a stage prop.

I feel so bamboozled.

Reminds me of the way General Erwin Rommel was respected by the British enemies in the war. One can admire the crafty fox but not wish to beaten by him. The Fox Putin has just pulled a Rommel on us—he seized Criemea—lets hope he doesn’t want any more of the Ukraine—let him digest Criemea for a while. In the end—Rommel turned on Hitler and paid the price with his life.

Haven't you heard?

Obama is NOT going to send a presidential delegation to the Sochi Paralympics!

What more do you want him to do in this "Year of Action?"/s

Of course he had no idea what to do. He is use to people around him responding to his pompous arrogant moral superiority instead of the hard facts of the world that include military power and confrontation.

He is totally incapable, out of his league, and as capable as a fish flopping in the bottom of the boat... and with fisherman Putin planning on dinner.
