Conservative leaders: "Good boy. Now go home, and read the news."
“”Putin said the trip home would take 18 hours and he needed at least four hours’ sleep before returning to work Monday,””
obozo doesn’t let a little thing like that interfere with his schedule. We just have to figure out a way to keep him from work!!
Kicking sand in Obama’s face must’ve exhausted him. Or maybe it was the hysterical laughter.
The media reported that Obama threatened Putin with more sanctions. If lines in the sand were railroad ties, Obama could’ve built the Trans-Siberian Railroad.
Pancreatic cancer.
Congress should put sanctions on Russia similar to those on Iran. And put them on Russia’s allies too.
Putin was surely flipping them the bird back in his plane. He’s likely planning some monetary action with BRICS as a result of this latest humiliation.
Hes got to get back to Mother Russia—he’s got a war to run and its not working out well on its own. He should get this mess cleaned up before the next big conference.
He [Obama] would seek from the Congress a substantial increase in the defense budget; the U.S. would permanently deploy substantial ground and air units in Poland and the Baltic States along with other NATO Allies; it would accelerate military technology transfer to Poland; it would enhanced its intelligence facilities and capabilities closest to Russia’s borders; it would review again the issue of enhanced BMD deployments in Eastern Europe;
it would convene a major Washington Energy Conference on the subject of how to reduce European dependence on Russian energy over the long term; it would go forward with the Keystone pipeline; it would approve the licenses of a dozen or more U.S. natural gas terminals and seek new legislation to foster the export of American energy;
and it would urgently try to conclude the TTIP and to smooth the way for Congressional approval. And the President would make clear he was taking all these major initiatives to strengthen the Alliance because of Russia’s aggressive behavior in Ukraine. The Administration took not a single one of these actions, but it is not too late.

“The essential first step is to acknowledge that Washington’s current approach has been ineffective ...”
“Any new policy requires both conceptual clarity and, even more important, the political will to develop and implement a strategy that will genuinely advance U.S. national interests and particularly U.S. vital national interests.”
You can forget all this with Obama at the helm.
But we really need to do something, we have to work together, it is more important than the present lame Anatidae.
ha. I had to look that up. learned a new word. : )
