NO. NYET. There. That was easy.
Senator Rubio is quoted by the AP as saying that by abstaining, Mr. Obama would be “putting international popularity ahead of the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States.”
AFAIK, Congress has to lift the embargo.
President “Present” Doesn’t vote again...
He doesn’t want to vote because he knows he would have to vote AGAINST the US in order for him to live with himself and that would hurt his DIM-WIT-O-CRAP successor.
That’s our Community Organizer.
Will President Trump have the guts to tell the UN they must move off USA soil? There certainly is a better use for that building. No more Diplomatic Immunity for all those who wish to street race everywhere, either?
He is abstaining due to a conflict of interest: his job requires he vote “No” but his heart of hearts desires he vote “Yes”.
I am actually shocked he showed enough self-control to abstain.
Obama isn’t an American, by word, deed, or creed, so why would he show any support for the US?
“Alger Hiss (November 11, 1904 – November 15, 1996) was an American lawyer, government official, author, and lecturer. He was involved in the establishment of the United Nations both as a U.S. State Department and U.N. official. Hiss was accused of being a Soviet spy in 1948 and convicted of perjury in connection with this charge in 1950.
On August 3, 1948, Whittaker Chambers, a former Communist Party member, testified under subpoena before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) that Hiss had secretly been a Communist while in federal service. Chambers had previously testified under oath that Hiss had never been a Communist or a spy, and Chambers would admit, under oath, to other instances where he had committed perjury under oath. Called before HUAC, Hiss categorically denied the charge. When Chambers repeated his claim on nationwide radio, Hiss filed a defamation lawsuit against him.
During the pretrial discovery process, Chambers produced new evidence indicating that he and Hiss had been involved in espionage, which both men had previously denied under oath to HUAC. A federal grand jury indicted Hiss on two counts of perjury; Chambers admitted to the same offense but, as a cooperating government witness, was never charged. Although Hiss’s indictment stemmed from the alleged espionage, he could not be tried for that crime because the statute of limitations had expired.”
Obama DETESTS America.....who doesn’t know that?? Even his voters do and that’s why they like him!
