Yes the right is blaming Obama for the Malaysian jetliner. Clearly he isn't doing enough to keep Americans safe.
Korean Air Lines Flight 007, On September 1, 1983, the airliner serving the flight was shot down by a Soviet Su-15 interceptor near Moneron Island, west of Sakhalin Island, in the Sea of Japan. The interceptor's pilot was Major Gennadi Osipovich. All 269 passengers and crew aboard were killed, including Lawrence McDonald, representative from Georgia in the United States House of Representatives.
As we all remember Ronald Reagan started WWIII in response to this event because clearly war and military action is the only way to respond to such events... oh wait he didn't. Instead Reagan start allowing the world access to the US nascent GPS system so they could better track flight paths. I know that doesn't sound as sexy as blaming the president and trying to shame the president into attacking Russia, Syria, or IDK aborted fetuses or whatever it is the right thinks Obama could have done to prevent this. I mean if Saint Reagan couldn't have prevented the loss of flight 007 isn't it likely that in no way is Obama even remotely to blame for this latest disaster. Of course conservatives don't remember things that actually happened during Reagan's time in office so yet again they are crying for Obama's head. Each year conservatives become more useless and yet seem oblivious to this fact. I'd cry for them but their pain is self-inflicted.
