Putin’s sanctions on Americans unite Democrats, GOP
Yahoo News ^ | March 20, 2014 | Oliver Knox

Vladimir Putin probably didn’t expect that newly announced Russian sanctions on nine Americans – three top White House aides, three Republicans and three Democrats in Congress – would spark a bipartisan love-in in Washington.

But that’s exactly what happened on Thursday as Moscow retaliated for expanded U.S. sanctions by freezing the assets of a select handful of high-profile Americans and banning them from travel inside Russia.

Here’s an early response from a spokesman for Republican House Speaker John Boehner on Twitter to Dan Pfeiffer, a senior adviser to President Obama, for making the list...

Always willing to further the advance of Communism, Benghazi Coward Obama and Gunboat Coward Kerry have teamed up to assure The Russian Bear that there will be no workplace violence when the Russians finally take over control of Ukraine, a former important Buffer Country within the former USSR.

As Commander in Chief of the mightiest military at present, Obama has cleverly determined that decreeing the use of the sacred ‘Edict of Democrat Gun Control’ will be a positive smokescreen step toward the eventual disarming of the US Army.

It is also a definite plus for Obama and Kerry to use at the negotiating table with Putin.

It really was no diplomatic contest with Nobel Peace Prize winning, Multi-Millionaire Obama negotiating against Putin, whose Country is so poor that it can’t even afford a shirt for Putin to wear while riding a horse, Cossack style.

By virtue of ‘The Power of Pen and Phone,’ Shrewd Foreign Policy Negotiator Obama issued the, (soon to be infamous), ‘Executive Order of Gun Control in the Ukraine.’

This was brilliant!

Any attempt by Russia from now on to use their guns will instantly prove to the editors of the New York Times, and other, award-winning, powerful, Top Military Think Tanks, that Russia did not REALLY intend to reduce Gun Violence.

Thus, Russia should not, (at least for the moment), join the rest of the Liberal Intelligentsia Elite, commonly known as LIE.

FORWARD !

Just salaries, benefits, pensions, and VA health benefits.

Defense contractors, not so much.

Are the GOP RINOS going to sanction Obama for amending laws without Congressional approval?

Uh, sorry, but the REASON we are in this mess in the first place is due to the abject vacancy of the policies of Obama, Hillary, and Kerry.

They are the cause, Putin is a symptom. Get rid of Putin tomorrow, someone else will take his place because of the WEAKNESS of American foreign policy.

Like Gary Kasparov tweeted, Obama (and, by extension, his entire team) make Jimmy Carter look like Winston Churchill.

United? Hardly. Obama is a divider.

You forgot, allow soldiers to be openly gay.

No doubt Obama and the Democrats take our military for granted and they'll eagerly send our soldiers off to fight some war with low moral and inferior equipment.

I think they are going to show solidarity with Obama by letting Putin humiliate them equally, but they are playing into Obama's hands because he will say Putin was subscribing to Affirmative Action by humiliating him (Obama) first.

Given the size of his ego, he probably thinks this is true.

I'll have you know that "America unites behind Obama", was the Neo-Con Fascista Homo approved wording.
