"Obama Did Not Attend The Meeting", Or In A Moment Of Crisis The President Stands Resolute
... in the sand trap.
Spot the pattern. From March 1, 2014, the day Russia announced it would send armed forces in Crimea:
President Barack Obama's national security team met on Saturday for an update on the situation in Ukraine and to discuss potential policy options, a senior Obama administration official said. The meeting came as Ukraine asked the United States and other key members of the U.N. Security Council to help safeguard its territorial integrity after Russia announced plans to send armed forces into the country's autonomous Crimea region.
Obama did not attend the meeting, but he has been briefed about it by his national security adviser, Susan Rice, and his national security team, an official said.
Fast forward to today, March 15, 2014, the day Russia is said to have "invaded" East Ukraine, and the day before Crimea's critial referendum which may cement the second coming of the Cold War.
President Barack Obama's national security team discussed the Ukraine crisis in a session at the White House on Saturday after Secretary of State John Kerry's return from talks with his Russian counterpart in London.
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.
Because obviously there are more pressing matters at hand like pitching Obamacare to toddlers, and because there is always time for 18 holes before World War III. And let's not forget, nobody does a better job of explaining to Vladimir Vladimirovich the "costs" of showing the world just how much of a laughing stock US foreign policy has become.

People need to stop thinking the president is a smart person. It's just a guy that's good at reading speeches that other people write for him.
Any idiot can, and is president.
No one panic. The Obama regime has everything under control.
Lol. Americans, please don't mind ridicule from the third world :)
Why 1st, 2nd or 3rd world? We're now one sloshing pond of statist excrement.
This is the hallmark of strong leadership.
The man need not attend meetings, briefings, debates, answer critical questions directly, disclose data, any data, facts are irrelevant.
We got exactly what the Left Promised.
A New Messiah
Obviously, some sort of god.
Well, that's exactly what some of the uberliberals out here stated. That he was held above any and all normal human ststus, was foing to change the entire world overnight, peace love prosperity equality fraternity...
Ohneverthefuckmind
Evan Thomas, David Brooks, Peggy Noonan, Warren Buffet, Colin Powell...
What?...I'm putting together my Christmas card list ;-)
Give Choomboy a break! Its not like he's binge watching some lame fantasy series while the world goes up in flames. Oh wait...

Last time the press admitted to something like this the American Ambassador to Lybya was assasinated. There are only a few things that the POTUS is consititutionally expected to do. One of them is CINC of our national defense forces. This halfrican American is the laziest POTUS ever and is negligent in the performance of his elected and sworn duties.
I understand Obama was too busy prepping for an appearance on SNL tonight to attend the security briefing which may lead to averting WWIII. He obviously has his priotities in order.
Why go to the meetings. He is incapabible (mentally and material wise) to do anything about it. Guess they will just blame Bush. Your teleprompter calls Obummer.
Working on his follow up to Between Two Ferns, maybe The Arsineo Hall Show or a guest visit to the TMZ set?
Could it be that Obumster already knows that he plans on doing absolutely doing nothing. WW3? Please. Sabor rattling 101.
It isn't his words ... we know he lies ... it's his actions ... which are zilch.
I think he's still trying to figure out how to get Latino's to cancel their cell phone service and cable TV in order to pay for his ObamaCare.
"...if you looked at their cable bill, their telephone, their cell phone bill… it may turn out that, it’s just they haven’t prioritized health care.”
You see, they are too stupid to prioritize their lives according to his wishes. They're not making the proper choices.
http://hotair.com/archives/2014/03/12/obama-health-insurance-isnt-expensive-just-cancel-cable-and-phones/
Ego, mixed with stupidity and lies, makes for a very dangerous combination.
Leaving the neocons in total control.
Now I getting worried.Obozo is setting them up to blame for WWIII.
The blame is more important than the carnage to Obozo.
What the procedure for mental asylum commitment in DC ?
Can we Baker Act this narcissist pillock in the White Hut ?
I'd bet Putin is a better golfer.
And since he plays shirtless with a leather pant, that definitely turns you on, right?
There is no gay in Russia!
No but there is a whole lotta man->Putin love on ZH. The floors in this place are disgusting from it.
Would you rather them man->love Obama?
Or is that just your late night sexual fantasies?
Rahm Emanuel is that you?
Once you understand that neocons are simply progressives on the Repub side, it all makes sense. Note that most neocons were former Dems 20+ years ago.
Where the fuck are these "real" "Republicans?"
Never has there been "good guys," sorry: well, perhaps Washington, Madison and or Jefferson, but they've been long dead (and, I don't believe that any of them were "Republicans").
If Washington, Madison or Jefferson came back today, they'd be run off as teabagging wingnuts. Eat shit and die from what you cooked for yourselves bitches. I'm making, educating and prepping the next generation of freedom fighters. They were and will be born in America. Note, I'm not an American myself, but my blood will rally around liberty and rise once again.
Well, come on, there was Ron Paul. And Justin Amash is pretty good and for all the disappointment with him, Rand Paul is not bad for a politician.
Capture one or both parties...
The fact of the matter is that the original neocons started out as Trotskyite leftists.
Barry is left the building.
Sweet jebus on a cracker, leaving Biden in charge?
Well, at least you won't have to worry about anything being done. And I love the irony of Larouche chanting the litany that Obama must go or there will be nuclear war. Ach du lieber, Mr Nobel Peace Prize doesn't have a thought in his head, let alone *doing* anything.
Lol goldilocks we won't. At least we have indoor plumbing! Douche!
FORE!
FOREWARD GOLF PROgressives!
FORE!
1st hole went really fast, Briefing squeezed in between tee offs.
FOREWARD GOLF PROgressives!
Rumor is that he was busy typing up a stern letter and may even issue a double stern warning on Monday
Obama has placed Putin on double secret probation. Just one more misstep from Putin and no more anything mister. It will be just like after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
Leave him alone, he's on a roll.
reading what?
People need to stop thinking the president is a smart person. It's just a guy that's good at reading speeches that other people write for him.
Any idiot can, and is president.
We asked for it and we got it.
“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”? H.L. Mencken
Well, it's still continuing, which, sadly, means that Obama's efforts will be trumped (just as Bush's efforts were trumped by Obama).
The farther we travel down the path the more dire is the need to deceive the populace.
.
The following template can be used accurately in blog comments for as long as the US continues to be a going concern:
"Damn, I swore that after [most recent US president] we couldn't possibly get a worse president. Well, now that we're stuck with [current US president], I'll be the first to admit it - I was totally wrong and just a fool."
I deal with a close family member with serious, serious, mental illness. She is progressively declining (though perhaps this current psych ward stay will be the one that helps).
Cannot tell you how many times I've said "It cannot possibly get worse that this" only to look back six months later and wish for just the merely horrible we had six months ago.
Yes, we can have a worse one and should we have crisis, most likely will get a worse one than today. We may soon look back at Obama and miss him dearly for being merely horrible.
That's enough to make me want to go into the psych ward myself.
Ever watch "The King of Hearts"?
Ya well if the current IIC (Idiot in Chief) hadn't been elected, we'd all have been nuked a long time ago with McCain as IIC. This Crimea crisis would have never happened if McCain had been charge, because there would be no life left on the planet at all.
LOL
I agree with that
He agreed with the Bilderboogers, along with Hilary, that he would defer to their will on all matters of foreign policy.
That is precisely what he is doing and though he lacks the capacity to even comprehend if he wanted to, he does not want to even be in the room while they are scheming in order to distance himself and protect his shitty Rainbow Fascist legacy.
This is what we now have as a purported leader. PUTTNIK!

And in keeping with the moniker Cold War 2.0 there will be some new ground rules to help for marketing purposes:
A) It will only be fought during winter
B) It will be for control of natural gas
C) It's Cold War not Cold Warm...somebody fix the teleprompter
I was just thinking the same thing today. What a fucking idiot.
Truer words.
And if you start getting any ideas we have a sweet limo ride for you in Dallas..you will love it..it's convertible too.
I hear there's a comfy "grassy knoll" nearby as well ... Not to mention a well-positioned book repository.
Man, if you guys could get Obama, um, John Mitchell, that would be beautiful !

YOur right, this guy took the advice of his advisers to essentially start a war with a nuclear power (main nuclear power) and he's out golfing or whatever but not at the meetings. This fool is going to go down as the worst president ever, because he doesn't realize one thing. He either has to attack Russia and defend Ukraine after all this bluster or back down and look weak and Putin win, thats what is left. His advisors put him into this position, it couldn't have been his military or if so they wanted him to go down with the ship. Putin knows that the US can't and won't get into a war with Russia, they aren't prepared thats for damn sure, so the only thing left is to make them back down and Putin is going to make it expensive for them.
i would guess theres alot of yelling and finger pointing going on in these meetings. with swollen viens on necks, might be more drama than ole mom jeans can take.
Hahaha. Whar else would anyone expect from an arrogant narcissistic lying illegal alien kenyan muslim sociopathic ignoramous whose idea of his job / is to read bullshit from teleprompter, go golfing, and buy 17K dress for its wookie as well as having its fudge packed.
White House Profile
"Ben Rhodes is the Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting, overseeing President Obama’s national security communications, speechwriting, and global engagement."
Worldly at 35, and Shaping Obama’s Voice
"As President Obama prepares to visit Israel next week, he is turning, as he often does, to Benjamin J. Rhodes, a 35-year-old deputy national security adviser with a soft voice, strong opinions and a reputation around the White House as the man who channels Mr. Obama on foreign policy."
"The son of a conservative-leaning Episcopalian father from Texas and a more liberal Jewish mother from New York... ."
That's because it doesn't matter what he says or does.
It doesn't matter as long as you follow his law. He's got a pen and executive order bitches.
Obama goes for GOLF while Putin goes for GOLD.
He either knows something we don't or he has accepted Russian victory.
You must remember, Obama in fact told Russia that he would have much flexibility after the election.

USlessA's! USlessA's! USlessA's!
what an asshole. i hope he loses everything he has ever looted and mooched. and then can only play at cheap beat up muni courses the rest of his miserable life
Why are you willing to be so nice to him and leave him so much? Let him make his living burried up to his neck with his mouth open to, heh, heh, heh, er, uh, catch balls.
Scratch that, now I'm too kind.
Sandpaper its skin off then bury it in salt.
Ah, How about a little "Swingin in the Rain"? Sorry Gene and Debbie, had to do it. Milestones
The Limbaugh Theorem.
"His Theorem is that Obama policies are very unpopular in America, but not associated with President Barack Obama, himself. Rather, he is seen as fighting the problems his policies cause."
Always the "outsider". Like the rest of us. Only the media can enable this perception. They would never have let it stand with a republican. Any excesses of republicans are the rationality for their own. The only response to the lefts grab for power without accountability, is full blown tyranny (as if we didn't already have it). This only gets worse.
100% True except for one point, the MSM will and has backed neocon Repubs. Why? because they have the same fucking statist agenda.
"They would never have let it stand with a republican."
Bullshit.
TPTB call the shots. MY FUCKING PET GOAT. No, no questioning that.
Can we define these PTB ghosts that have us spooked?
...Raciss...Linda and Susan in charge. Obama taking care of more important binness...He learning Russian so he will know how to caddie for Vlad sarc off
Next, the Kenyan golfer will move the US military to a state of defcon shrewish tongue-wagging.
Obama has the launch codes.
Holy Mother of God.
The codes used to be 0000000. Luckily, they changed them to something harder, probably
00000001.
12345.
"That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage!"
I wish Obama was as smart and talented as President Skroob.
I never found out if that was true. In one of my three Cold War classes that came up. The idea was the Russian computers did not start counting at zero so there was no way they could ever crack a launch code of all zeros.
It just sounds so implausible, but there have been stupider things that have been true. A bear did almost start WWIII when it broke through a fence. We did almost launch missiles because of a false radar echo.

Don't worry , he will probably be too lazy or too golf-addicted to do anything damaging.
Truly, your president perfectly represents the current demographic of america! Why work when you can play and have government support you! This applies to the president too it seems.
The golf playing is by design. After Russia annexes the Ukraine, Obama will hold a press conference and say he just read about it in the newspaper and is as outraged as everyone else. He will have Holder investigate to end the matter completely
The Ukraine crisis does not offer any opportunity for self promotion, hence not giving a shit.......
@lunatic
You have summed it nicely.
No reason to attend when you've already decided you will not go to war over territory that 8 months ago no one cared about.
Russia can move in and replace the Kiev govt and be gone again in a few weeks, and don't think the Kiev people don't know it. That's why they are desperate to get NATO boots on the ground. They seek unpaid bodyguards.
Foodstamp the Great is probably preparing for his life-long dream of hosting Saturday Night Live.
Fuck him. And fuck you if you voted for it.
And fuck you if you voted for ANYBODY.
Quit fucking giving this system legitimacy!
"... in the sand trap"
And Putin won't let him play his way out of it.
What a dickless piece of crap.
Chiilax peeps! JalJar has penned a sternly worded letter to Putin!
He does what he's told to do. Remember GW is the decider.
He sort of represents your typical african leader
50%.
Not really, because in most African countries- when the war cabinet meets and the Grand Poobah is a no show, he is usually replaced- either same day or in short order.
Right... a possibility in Obama's case.
Let me be clear. There will be consequences ... If you goats refuse to be herded
My read is that it's an amateurish attempt to make it seem like Zero thinks it's no big deal and not worth him missing an important asshole waxing appointment. Instead, it just sends the message to his own people that he's not realy in charge. Which of course is true, but how fucking stupid to advertise it like this.
It's the truth. If it's unpleasant, well tough !
Besides, why bring a sock pupet to a security meeting ?
How come we never hear about the annual presidential physical anymore? Is it because the asshole waxing would be the stuff of international news?
Not really. Don't assholes like Obama get things waxed all the time these days? I suppose if you waxed him head to toe, then maaaaybe.
Anal warts from too much fudge packing in Chicago steam rooms.
This is a repeat story Tyler. The answer to Obama’s action will be declared as Plausible deniability. Impeachment charges are the albatross wrapped around his neck. Be forewarned.
notice how president Jarret never has Bathhouse attend any meetings so he always has deniability. How anyone can work for this piece of shit is beyond me.
What a duffer, what a fluffer, sheesh.
He couldn't be briefed as he was being debriefed by Reggie at the time.
I, for one, was relieved to learn they reset the nuclear codes to "password" when Barry took over.
And then to "I forgot".
Why bother attending the theater if you received an advanced copy of the script? It's not as if his presence will change anything.
Yeah, but someone has to take all the blame, and, well, Party Pussy mentality just loves this kind of stuff...
Out of curiosity does anyone know his whereabouts at the time of the meeting ? Can it be confirmed that he was "teeing off" some place?
No golf, he was isolated in that second story WH room I spoke of earlier.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/schedule
nada
Just as he promised Medvedev two years ago, he has more "flexibility" now.
"Flexibility?" So....that means he can blow himself and no longer needs Reggie?
he is a blackmailed homosexual mind control victim.
a cia project.
a brown rothschild in joke.
married to a man as another in joke.
like 911 just another psy op.
why would he attend anything it is all a bad act.
rice and nuland have the tel aviv scripts obarmy just needed to smile and sign off.
I wonder what President Obama's thoughts on 9/11 are? As for Democrats, we know President Clinton's. Obama's are likely the same.
He thinks ?
You overestimate him/it/her.
Finally - some good news !
Man's Country 'Club'
hole-in-one
Is anyone out there really doubting the fact that he is nothing more than a PITCHMAN or a THESPIAN playing the part of President? The real deciscion makers are trying to figure their way out of this..maybe now they are grasping the idea that Ukraine belongs to Putin or will shortly and the days of U.S. fear mongering tactics based only on rheotric and throwin cash at the rebels on the ground to do your dirty work are over.
This may sound like it is being said in jest but it is not..Putin could ride a fucking harnessed Polar Bear on horseback behind his tanks straight to the Eiffel Tower and there is nothing these hypocritic technocrats could do about it. All they have is deception so I am sure Putin is a few moves ahead in trying to determine what their false flag or Tonkin moment will be to paint him as Hitler Redux for the Snooki consuming public.
Knowing him he already has people working on one in advance. The world as we know it changed two weeks ago. It was like the Ralphie beating the shit out of Scott Farkus moment.

"Putin could ride a fucking harnessed Polar Bear on horseback behind his tanks straight to the Eiffel Tower and there is nothing these hypocrytic technocrats could do about it."
You have a way with words. +10
Obama is definitely a front man, but you're being optimistic in a sense. What if the US et. al. Ukraine gambit is just a way to distract Russia, so that similar trouble can be stirred up elsewhere? Whoever is pulling the strings doesn't seem to have the long-term interests of the US in mind.
Well I do not think they intended Putin to make a go for Crimea..they wanted their payback for him taking Syria off the table and the Qutar Pipeline gambit and boy did they ever get it..we are not used to being challenged like this...they always love a distraction and any excuse to start up the printers for military spending when they economy can no longer be papered over will be embraced...also I think that is why this Malaysia plane deal is all over the MSM..so I agree...everything that can be magnified will be a distraction for them to throw at us.
As for Optimistic? I live in Manhattan..Russian ICBM target #1 or #2 (Best case scenario)..I legitmately think these guys are so intoxicated with their own hubris and power and incompetent to boot that they may get most of us killed. I been telling people but they are not listening in the outside world to keep that threat in mind because it is back on the table...No coincidence Manhattan rents have gone parabolic since the threat of a first strike was off the table for the past 2 decades.
See how many hipster tightpansters wanna come live here when that becomes a possibility. Rents would do a Peter Pan in the matter of 2 weeks like they did post 9/11 and 2008 Lehman event...I was here..it was like someone LITERALLY turned the off switch.
One can almost picture Obama, Kerry, Anderson Cooper, and the rest of the CIA boys calling up Malaysia and saying, "Don't find it for a week or or two. Capisce?"
"I just sent my 'Where's Waldo' collection to Malaysia."
This is not aimed at you JM.
Why is there such cognitive dissonance here?
True libertarians do NOT want their govt interfering in the affairs of other nations. And when the POTUS is not up-front interfering, puffing out his chest, folks pile on calling him all sort of names.
I could give a flying fuck about the guy. My point is that the level of childishness in all of this reeks to high heaven of Party Pussy-ness. I hope that none of you children gain any power other than your own.
Given that the US is on the record for supposedly being "responsible" for supporting Europe and the likes of Ukraine it is kind of mandatory to make guestures; and, as the US typically does, it'll walk away from any meaningful commitments (check with the Kurds on that one; OR, even the Ukrainians for that matter).
This is about trying to stand up for a, clearly, failing Europe, to appease TPTB there. As Europe crashes the US can say: "hey, we tried." It can only be a guesture, the tank is out of fuel... And for Russia, they need to find paying customers. These are the realities.
Very good low brow response.....
What I read into this is that the Prez is truly a puppet and the "Ministry of War..err Defense" will handle things. Just get the plebes at home into the SickCare matrix.
Do the minutes sound like the Fed's minutes?
Not sure, but think this chocolate MONSTER is fucking stuff up, and ppl in the US just seem 'fine' with it.....man, 'How the mighty fall' just had a new meaning.
He doesn't make any decisions. Why would he attend the meeting?
Who is giving this man briefings? His caddy?
Putin wins again!
Well, to be fair, he has no competition.
A Gay Crackhead and a Gigolo?
"it's an open invitation and Putin has walked right in."
Is silence an order to do nothing? Or to act?
Very confusing.
Right up there with "no Russian boots on the ground" and "Putin negotiates with Tatarstan."
It would be a bummer if a teleprompter was the thing ordering all of America..and Europe...and maybe even Russia itself...into war. One that makes Vietnam...let alone Afghanistan...look like a picnic.
"Methinks President Putin is planning for the counter-offensive as well."
Who gave the orders to go into Crimea is indeed an interesting if terrifying question.
I would have thought based upon "pre-planning" and "pre-positioning" that the war plan would have remained "a straight shot to Kiev immediately"...end of story, done.
No one has to agree with me of course...nor do i expect anyone too. Where is the diplomacy again?
http://usacac.army.mil/cac2/call/thesaurus/toc.asp?id=13530
It's nothing but hot air, bluff by the US. It's totally powerless to do anything. Besides, get the fuck out of other people's countries! If it's on your border and it's an historically regional thing then that's another matter (which is why it matters more to Russia).
There will be war only if the US decides upon it. And given it's track record over the past several decades, and the fact that it's a failing empire, I'd have to place the probability above even.
I guess it doesn't matter that O never attended the meeting. He was never needed anyway. America you really never needed him...
Reagan used to sleep in meetings. It's quite possible that they're no more than re-hashes and that the POTUS had already been briefed face-to-face.
This is how you know it's theatre

Ummm, I think he will only do the Ass-Seizing part, if you are a guy.
I approve of this message.
What I don't approve of is the way Zero and Ketchup were flapping their traps previous.
To quote Slartibartfast..... 'Hang the sense of it, and keep yourself busy!'
Dudes decorating his bunker. Question is why is the tranny down there with him.
Was he reading "My Pet Golfball?"
"and his speeches are written at a fourth grade level. "
Like the POTUS writes his own speeches? Further, that's the standard to which widely-distributed messages are written: is it 5th-grade?
Not my rules, nor that of POTUS. Reality: I tend to note it more because I spend more time analyzing strategy than engaging in Party Pussy shit.
People in the US have been conditioned, starting in childhood and surrounded by lifelong reinforcement, to believe that the two-party system is real. For those in power, it is the most important myth that they propagate, because it is a foundation pillar upon which other critical myths are built.
The myth is comforting, removes the necessity for deep thought, provides simple explanations for complex problems, and generates convenient scapegoats. Seeing through the myth is difficult and takes genuine effort, and the only reward is a truth that most would rather not see. This is why so few people ever escape the myth, or even want to.
No, "How to Pick Up Little Boys," NAMBLA Press.C
The fewer meetings this scumbag and treasonous piece of shit attends, the safer I feel. Just a little.
"Can he spell guillotine without an 'e' as well."
"Corpse-Man," hahahahahahhaha, what a retard!
Please, they are all just actors. What's the quote "politics is just acting for ugly people." Why should Obama be any different? Shit he's already a lame duck so what's the point. Eisenhower was the last President who at least at the end tried to drop a hint as to where the real power in this country came from. Kennedy appears to have paid the price for going against it. Notice how every president since has always gone along with the program. So where would Obama's "motivation" come from? Remember he's just reading a script, and much like the movies Hollywood puts out, there not very original.
