In politics
and diplomacy words are 10 percent and the rest is media show
One would
think this President would want clips of meeting with his generals as the
crisis grows
Biden is an afterthought
and his words are mostly gaffe
Good only in
most cases to lift spirits with a good laugh
But Obama
for all his faults is our Commander in Chief
Now is not
the time for him from the "rigors" of his job to get some family time
relief
Could you
imagine in the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis JFK heading off to Hyannis
Port?
With the
world wondering on the eve a nuclear winter whether humans' time on this planet
would be cut shortOr Bush on the eve of Desert Storm shutting down his office and heading for Maine?
Or Truman at the outbreak of the Korean War, heading back to Missouri to work on his piano refrains?
Russia has
seized the Crimea, what European country or portion will he next seek to
reclaim
With the
threat of response by NATO or the U.S. completely tamed?
No wonder
Putin is not worried, no wonder he knows the Crimea is his to keep
No wonder he
views the U.S. under Obama as a bunch of sheep
It is Ground
Hog Day all over again typical Benghazi style
Crisis? Time
to put on the fund raising or vacation Air Force One miles.
Maybe in the
Florida Keys if Russian moves again, he will not be able to make another
warning speech
Feckless,
not backed by action, not deterring, only emboldening Putin to send more troops
into another breach.
