Priorities dude. Obama’s national security team discussed the Ukraine crisis at the White House on Saturday. The problem is, Obama didn’t bother to attend. He was either too busy planning his brackets, playing Sir Puttzalot in the White House, or playing spades with former ‘body man’ Reggie Love. Now do you see why no on in the international world has any respect for Obama? During a dangerous time as U.S./Russia tensions escalate towards cold war levels, Obama simply can’t be bothered to deal with it. Clint Eastwood was right. Obama really is the empty chair.
Obama’s absence gets a brief mention in the Reuters story about his national security team meeting on the Ukraine situation. maybe the real president, Valerie Jarrett attended instead.
President Barack Obama’s national security team discussed the Ukraine crisis in a session at the White House on Saturday after a last-ditch bid to find a diplomatic solution to the Cold War-style standoff with Russia floundered.
Secretary of State John Kerry, who just returned from talks with his Russian counterpart in London, was at the White House meeting along with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
Obama did not attend the meeting but was being briefed about it and other developments involving Ukraine, said Laura Lucas Magnuson, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council.
