Obama to make statement on Ukraine at 11:30 a.m. EDT: White House

I HOPE the US knows if Americans were on board, by now...

"Now the Department of State must cut through the fog of confusion and misinformation to determine if any Americans perished when a surface-to-air missile knocked the Boeing 777 back to Earth."

I remember a gif of bammers shining Palin’s shoes.
The mods wouldn’t even let anyone post a LINK to it.

Now, if the person shining the shoes were, say, Harry Reid, would the image have been banned? No.
And the answer to “why not?” is that Obama is black and Harry Reid is not.

Now, isn’t treating someone differently based on their “race” inherently “racIST”?

FoxNews is showing Amb. Powers speaking at the UN.

Did I hear her say that ‘messages were deleted’?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Nobody’s madder than Obama...boy I hate to be in Putin’s shoes right now.

Obama as he readies himself for more fund raising and rounds of golf “I have a red pen and I am not scared to use it, bye”.

[wxgesr]

I would donate $1000.00 if he shows up with white powder rings round his intakes.

Deleted Posts Suggest Ukraine Rebels Downed Malaysian Jet
MH17 by Mistake
By IndiaTimes | July 18, 2014, 6:19 pm IST

Social media posts by pro-Russian insurgents - most of them hastily removed - suggest the rebels thought they had shot down a Ukrainian army plane before realising in horror that it was in fact a packed Malaysian airliner.

Oh, good, I missed it.

[mowowie]

Is this speech scheduled for before or after today’s fundraiser?

Like Russia “investigated” the Smolensk crash?

[who knows what evil?]

Who cares? It will be 100% certified bullsh*t.

[certrtwngnut]

Maybe he will call the murder of the 23 Americans “workplace violence”.

Actually I think Obama is going to be extremely serious about this and give a stong statement which will have people looking at how to increase sanctions and bringing those responsible to justice.

First question by the MSM. “why do you think Republicans are stopping you from saving all those south American children that have been harmed by Bush’s hatred of South America?”

Sorry, forgot something. 12:25 is my guess

Obama better watch out for what he says. This gig is far from defined, as of yet. Shucks, the USA state department even cannot tell us, the American people, how many Americans were on board the airplane. The Malaysian Airlines flight manifest has had that information since the aircraft was dispatched from Amsterdam!!!

This terrible, fatal incident & murder of innocents, has the all the makings of another MH370 in process...more hogwash & Obama lies, then no substance......then nothing but a lost aircraft and 298 innocent men, women and children killed!!! Americans, remember,...Obama lies, 100% of the time!!! Told ya from day one that MH370 would never be solved...and I was right on the money!!! More lies and distorations to come, folks. Satan is afoot at the White House Podium!!! Welcome.......Satan Obama!!! Putin...the “bad guy” is gonna eat Obama alive!!!

Thanks for the warning. I will be watching the British Open on ESPN.

OMG. Here comes another RED LINE.

[MeshugeMikey]

if he finally... greets the press with Salam Alikum.....the games over

I am watching the UN Security Council meeting. I caught the last of Power's remarks and the full remarks of the Lithuanian Ambassador who listed the countries who lost citizens but failed to mention the US. He just said other countries. I don't know if Power mentioned the loss of US citizens, but I am getting the impression from these public statements and MSM reports that they are avoiding mentioning the loss of US citizens. It has to be more than a coincidence.

The Australian rep just opened with the mention of the loss of 28 citizens. She also mentioned specifically the loss suffered by the Netherlands and Malaysia. No mention of the US loss.
