| Russia Invades Ukraine, Obama Declares Happy Hour |
| 2014-03-01 |
| [Powerline] President Obama himself, having delivered a limp warning to Vladimir Putin, decamped for a meeting of the Democratic National Committee, where he told a cheering crowd: “Well, it’s Friday, it’s after 5:00. So this is officially happy hour with the Democratic Party.” I'm afraid this pretty much tells the story. |

| #11 I can't believe it! He skips the NSC briefing on the Ukraine situation? And lets that air-head Rice brief him later? Oh sweet mercy, it is even worse than I thought. I thought he was an empty suit hiding under his desk in the oval office...but he's worse. If Bush had missed a NSC briefing the MSM would have been howling for his head. We'll probably find out he bet the bank on Russian natural gas futures... |

| #10 I feel at this stage shooting is inevitable and that will roil the financial markets, and that's only the beginning. This will reverberate for years. |

| #9 Unfortunately both O-BumblingFool and his sidekick the Fawning Media still think they are the cock of the walk on the international diplomatic scene. That all he has to do is talk sternly and shake his whittle They are going to get a lot of people killed. Some of them know this - but simply don't care. |

| #8 Obama is an amateur going against world champions on the world stage. Putin has been playing rope a dope with Obumble since 2008 and now it is time for the knockout. Obama is way... way... way out of his league and the world will pay for it. |

| #7 O's Nat'l Security Team meets. Zero skips it. This is both astonishing and unsurprising at the same time. I'm just gonna go sit in the sinktrap before my mouth gets me in trouble. |

| #5 Maybe he is happy --- independent Ukraine would suck US funds like a black hole. |

| #4 After issuing stern warnings to Russia not to invade Crimea, the administration, confronted with the actual presence of Russian troops on the ground, philosophized about whether it was really an invasion, suggesting that a more apt term might be an “uncontested arrival.” Might as well be a declaration of “happy hour.” Seems that they have had happy hour for about 5-1/2 years (sarc). The only thing this administration is good for is masking the obvious and creating euphemisms such as Janet Napolitano's. She wouldn’t use the word terrorists but instead said “In my speech, although I did not use the word “terrorism,” I referred to “man-caused” disasters.” |
