Yep, Romney.....even a blind squirrel.

And Palin can see Putin from Alaska.

[cutthemdown]

Actually Palin predicted the Ukraine invasion by Russia. She said Obama was soft and his reaction to the Russian invasion of Georgia would lead to the same thing in the Ukraine. Holy cow even Palin better at this the Obama.

Of course. The only one who could be worse is Hillary Clinton.

How did Obama become President before the 2008 election?

Palin said a lot of things during the 2008 election.

The obvious fact that her boss, McCain, made the essentially same post invasion statement as Obama, apparently didn't register with Palin and she unintentionally threw him under the bus too.

Palin: “After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama’s reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia’s Putin to invade Ukraine next."

Obama: There is no possible justification for these attacks. I reiterate my call for Russia to stop its bombing campaign, to stop flights of Russian aircraft in Georgian airspace, and to withdraw its ground forces from Georgia.

McCain: Russia should immediately and unconditionally cease its military operations and withdraw all forces from sovereign Georgian territory.

Electing Obama is not the reason Russia invaded the Ukraine, despite the 'Ms Cleo' claim by Palin, history is in play and much more relevant.

This is a decent summary of some of the historical issues from one of my least favorite newspapers.

Ukraine crisis: No wonder Vladimir Putin says Crimea is Russian
With irresponsible talk of EU and Nato membership, the West has badly mishandled relations with Ukraine – and with Moscow

Obama declares ‘happy hour’ with Dems minutes after Ukraine tough talk

Minutes after issuing a stern warning to Russia and saying there will be a price to pay if it interferes militarily in Ukraine, President Obama headed to a “happy hour” with fellow Democrats.
Speaking at a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee, Mr. Obama struck a very different tone than he had less than 30 minutes earlier, when he appeared with little warning in the White House press briefing room and issued a vague threat to Moscow.

<HR style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 15px"> “Well, it’s Friday. It’s after 5 o’clock. So, this is now officially happy hour with the Democratic party,” the president told his cohorts. “I can do that. It is an executive action. I have the authority.”
An audience member then asked the president to “tell us about your plans for nuclear war with Russia.”
“What the heck are you talking about?” Mr. Obama said to laughter and applause. “No, no, don’t worry about it. We’re OK. Have a seat. I don’t know anything about that plan. I don’t know what you’ve been reading. Let me return to what I was talking about. See, he thought happy hour started earlier.”
The Washington fundraiser had been scheduled for some time, long before the situation in Ukraine unraveled to its current point.
Still, Mr. Obama’s words and demeanor in the White House couldn’t have been more different than they were at the party fundraiser across town.
In the White House, Mr. Obama issued a firm admonition to Russian Vladimir Putin and said Moscow must respect Ukraine’s borders.

<HR style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 15px"> “Just days after the world came to Russia for the Olympic Games, it would invite the condemnation of nations around the world [if it invades or otherwise meddles militarily in Ukraine],” the president said. “And indeed, the United States will stand with the international community in affirming there will be costs for any military intervention in Ukraine.”

...guy sounds worse than John Fox.

The President of the United States, doesn't get to stop and focus on just one thing. If he is good he has outstanding staff in position to get him the best information for him to make a decision and then execute that decision when it is made.

[mhgaffney]

Romney is even more of an idiot than Obama.

We have zero leadership here in the US. Face it.

This is the real deal. Does anyone around here read?

The Spectacle in Kiev
The Brown Revolution in Ukraine

by ISRAEL SHAMIR

I am a great fan of Kiev, an affable city of pleasing bourgeois character, with its plentiful small restaurants, clean tree-lined streets, and bonhomie of its beer gardens. A hundred years ago Kiev was predominantly a Russian resort, and some central areas have retained this flavour. Now Kiev is patrolled by armed thugs from the Western Ukraine, by fighters from the neo-Nazi -Right Sector, descendants of Stepan Bandera, the Ukrainian Quisling’s troopers, and by their local comrades-in-arms of nationalist persuasion.

After a month of confrontation, President Viktor Yanukovych gave in, signed the EC-prepared surrender and escaped their rough revolutionary justice by the skin of his teeth. The ruling party MPs were beaten and dispersed, the communists almost lynched, the opposition have the parliament all to themselves, and they’ve appointed new ministers and taken over the Ukraine. The Brown Revolution has won in the Ukraine. This big East European country of fifty million inhabitants has gone the way of Libya. The US and the EU won this round, and pushed Russia back eastwards, just as they intended.

Face it, we have James Buchanan in office again. Obama came into office and was able to ignore the fact that Wall Street and the banksters had staged a coup on the American economy. I have no doubt he will be able to ignore the Ukraine, which might be a good thing for us. I can't think of a single, critical interest the U.S. has there. No doubt we need to join with our allies in condemning Putin and taking some kind of concerted diplomatic action. But you're kidding yourself if you think somehow Putin would have been afraid of Romney. Putin is a raging egotist. He could give a **** about anybody else's opinion.
