Well, why not go golfing? Barry has solved the Ukrainian crisis, health care crisis and economic crisis, so why shouldn’t he putt off for some much deserved R&R. It’s exhausting to lecture Putin and have him ignore and laugh at you.

Seriously, if golfing keeps the guy from governing, I’m all for it.

But really, he’s not the one running the show here, obviously. If he really were this ideologue, he’d be cherishing the time he has in office and work his ass off to implement policy.

This guy is a slacker and a borderline doofus. If he were ever challenged with an honest media vetting he wouldn’t have received his party’s nomination, let alone the presidency.

To be honest what can Obama do.

Obama has sent F-15's to the region, the US Sixth Fleet will be on standby, as will units such as the 173rd Airborne Brigade based in Italy.

We all know that the US is not going to engage Russian troops and start WW3, so other than EU and US Diplomatic negotiations there isn't much than can be done.

In all honesty we are all probably better off the more time he spends on the golf course.

I'll bet his handicap really improves once the GOP takes the Senate in November.

You seem to have failed to see the obvious

President Obama can play golf because he has already accomplished most of his political agenda. While you GOP doorknobs were asleep since he has been in office.

The GOP can take the Senate in November since we know what your plans are already.
Sarah Palin!
I am amazed you haven't resurrected Reagan from the grave yet.

The better question is "what could he have done to keep Russia from being emboldened?"

Under Obama, Russia was allowed to invade and take part of Georgia (our ally) and now Crimea, part of Ukraine (want to be our ally).

At some point his feckless foreign policy will start WWIII because of sheer stupidity and ideology. We are stronger through strength, not through reasoning and drawing meaningless lines.
