Video: Pretty much everyone expressing dismay over White House response to world falling apart
Hot Air ^ | July 17, 2014 | BY MARY KATHARINE HAM

Was the Bear loose today? If Valerie Jarrett wanted to get a hashtag going for the president, #smh might have worked. Shep wasn’t the only one baffled by the White House’s insistence on pretending today was a day for the normal shake run and spin.

Via the Free Beacon, first ABC notes that the president seemed blindsided by Israel’s starting ground operations in Gaza today. Jonathan Karl cites the President’s and State Department’s optimism just hours earlier that a ceasefire would happen. Second, Gen. Barry McCaffrey wonders aloud to Brian Williams on NBC why State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki seems utterly useless and uninformed on a matter of this importance:

He has consistently worked against American interests in the last 6 years. Why should he stop now?

Would it be racist to refer to Obama as Valarie Jarrett’s trained circus monkey?

It definitely fits his profile. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if the U.S. government supplied the rebels this missile with faulty intelligence that there would be a Russian plane flying over at such and such time. A nice distraction for him from his border fiasco. I swear this damn game is getting old.The media is going out of their way to pin it on Russia, that in and of itself makes me question the whole thing.

I wonder if going on the fundraisers is an excuse to be away from Michele so he can cavort with his lovers.

I don’t think so.

The rebels, or whatever they are, were all excited and bragged that they had shot down a Ukraine cargo plane.

When they found out they had shot down an airliner, they immediately withdrew all of their bragging comments, or at least that is what I have read.

If what I have read is correct, this would be a realistic chain of emotion: glee over having shot down the enemy...followed by fear of being exposed as inept murderers with resulting international repercussions.

I am not Sherlock. We see this same reaction frequently when people make really bad mistakes.

Friendly fire in the military is an example.

When you see that in the midst of Benghazi, the VA mess, the border problems, and all of the other really bad things that are going on, that he spends so much time and effort promoting gays and lesbians.........

It does seem that it is more important than anything else other than his trips.

“Putin/Obama, is there really much difference?”

I suspect that Putin probably loves his own country. Obama - not so much. (If you assume that Obama’s own country is the USA)

I suspect that most of the damage done by Putin is directed at other countries, which Putin considers “Russia’s Enemies”. Most of the damage done by Obama is directed at America and Americans, which Obama considers the enemies of ? (whoever owns and operates Obama).
