Meanwhile, President Nero is attending more fundraisers.
Great job voting for this disaster, libs.
lol
Drama queens, drama queens everywhere.
Yeah, this is a real major crisis of epic proportions. Obama should rush to the situation room and prepare for all out war because some rebels shot down a Malaysian jetliner.

What do you think would be the proper thing for a U.S. president to do under the circumstances, keeping in mind there is no conclusive proof of what actually happened at this point in time? Do you want him to go overseas to look at the crash site so you can accuse him of doing it for the photo-op? Declare war on Russia? What exact should he be doing in your expert opinion?

Let's compare ..

More than 30 years ago, on September 5th, 1983, President Ronald Reagan addressed the American people after a Soviet fighter jet shot down a Korean airliner for ‘invasion of airspace’.
‘My fellow Americans, I’m coming before you tonight about a Korean airline massacre, the attack by the Soviet Union against 269 innocent men, women and children aboard an unarmed Korean passenger plane. This crime against humanity must never be forgotten.’
Now, contrast Reagan’s strong response to comments made today by President Obama regarding the shooting down of a Malaysian airliner, reportedly by the Russians, killing 295.
‘It’s wonderful to be back in Delaware. Before I begin, obviously the world is watching reports of a downed passenger jet near the Russian – Ukraine border. It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy. Right now we’re working to determine whether there were American citizens on board. This is our first priority.’
President Obama then returned to his prepared text.
When Reagan did that, we were at a particularly tense time of the Cold War and there was no doubt who shot the plane down, the Soviets freely admitted they did it.
Let's not. If the current situation involved just the Soviet Union, it would be pretty clear what happened. As it is, the players include Russia, Ukrainian rebels, and Ukraine. And we don't know what actually happened. But you want Obama to go on TV and start flapping his gums about what might have happened? That's ridiculous.
This is what happens when you shrink the military budget and have a spineless "leader" that is perceived as weak by other world leaders like Putin.
It's about time that America's *******s, starting with Obama, realize that the world is not a kumbayah place. You didn't see this type of stuff happening when Bush was in office. And you sure as hell wouldn't be seeing it if Americans had enough sense to elect McCain or Romney.
Weird, I seem to recall a pretty serious terrorist incident when Bush was in office. I must be mistaken.
