WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States began building a case Friday that would pin the blame for the downing of the passenger jet over Ukraine on separatist forces supported by Russia, in a disaster that could dramatically escalate the crisis in Ukraine. President Barack Obama said one American was among the nearly 300 killed and called for an immediate cease-fire to allow for an unfettered investigation.
Evidence indicates that Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down by a surface-to-air missile from an area controlled by Russian-backed separatists, Obama said at the White House. He warned that the incident showed the crisis in Ukraine won't be localized or contained to the region.

Ok...on to the next fundraiser.
OK.. Vacay time!!
It seems he was to busy eating a burger and fries yesterday to comment on it then.
Semi-retired President speaks
Sorry Barry, my head is already at "attention" over the invasion of our southern border and the scandals going on in my "government". Right now I'm focusing on the destruction of my country. I'll think about the shoot down later when I have the time. There are more pressing things going on right now.
He really phoned that in, didn’t he? With all the heart of someone reading a “ what I did for summer” essay.
Obama has spoken.
And the EU isn't too pleased with Obama and his sanction threats.
Wonder how much Soros is making in all this.
So, his advisers figured out since yesterday that it actually was, not merely “may be”, a great tragedy?
I need a sedative I'm shaking in my boots right now
America circles the GD drain and we're supposed to snap our head over this?
This guy is demented or high on drugs.

Reagan would have called evil by its name.
Now we get a “global tragedy”, as if people need a director’s cue to know when to feel bad about something.
And btw, if the thing crashed due to a malfunction, then that is a “tragedy”, not when it is shot out of the sky.
I thought there were 23 dead Americans?
early reports said 23 Americans on board
Hasn’t he killed more Americans with drones?
Curious, isn’t it?
No kidding...America has been sold out, the middle class is being replaced, looted and economically gang banged and we’re supposed to get excited about this?
