Russia Seizes Part of Ukraine – Obama Skips National Security Meeting

Is it still Obama’s National Security Team if it meets and Obama is never there?

Great question, because they met to talk about the situation with Russia and the Ukraine and Obama was too busy to attend.  But don’t worry.  According to “sources” he has been briefed by Susan ” it was a YouTube Video” Rice, and oh–the Russian Millitary has ‘Officially’ Seized the Crimea.

There’s a voting present joke in here someplace.

And the left’s ears must be bleeding… Sarah Palin was right.

Yes, I could see this one from Alaska. I’m usually not one to Told-Ya-So, but I did, despite my accurate prediction being derided as “an extremely far-fetched scenario” by the “high-brow” Foreign Policy magazine. Here’s what this “stupid” “insipid woman” predicted back in 2008: “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.”

Questions about what Mr. ‘From Day One’ will do to make himself perfectly clear…

So will Obama now move beyond affirmations to actions? Will Obama get Brussels, Berlin, Paris, and London to begin to isolate the Putin regime diplomatically, politically, and economically? Will Obama lead our allies to move the G-8 meeting from Russia, disinvite Putin, refuse visas to Putin’s cronies to travel abroad, and expose and tie up bank accounts he and his buddies have in the West? Will Obama expedite the admission of Georgia to NATO, and begin to move toward a security relationship with Ukraine? Will Obama canvass his administration to discover the many other things that could be done to begin to undermine Putin at home and abroad? Will Obama act so that the Russian people and Russian elites see that Putin’s actions have costs—real costs, not the affirmation of the possibility of costs?

Or will we be all talk, no action?
