We are so lucky to have Obama at the helm...

[busterbrown]

The Ukraine situation is turning very tense. Thank God we have a sensible man as our President..
There is not a single republican out there who I would trust as much as our current POTUS to deal with such a tricky and dangerous situation..

1. I'd thank the voters more than God

[busterbrown]

2. I agree.. I’m just so use to the phrase.. n/t

[SunSeeker]

3. K & R

[bvar22]

4. I'll agree.

I am more comfortable having President Obama "at the helm" than any Republican.

[Jamaal510]

5. President Romney

would've already started a Russian war.

[SmittynMo]

11. Indeed

Keep the right out of power. Especially when it comes to these types of situations.

6. Though I haven't been following it closely ...

this Ukraine/Russia (Putin) thing is really going to be a test (and hopefully, a testament) to President Obama's diplomatic chops (and SoS Kerry's execution).

7. Fareed Zakaria in yesterday's WP said much the same

He approves of careful negotiations, not bluster.

8. Allow me to

on your vanity thread. I hope you feel this lucky when the TPP passes.

[flamingdem]

9. Yes indeed BB

Any repuke would be putting their cowboy boots on and rattling their saber now

[FSogol]

10. How would John McCain, Mitt Romney, or Sarah Palin handle the situation?

How about Herman Cain, Trumpy, Santorum, Newt, Rick Perry, or Ted Cruz?

[anti partisan]

12. How about Hillary Clinton? (nt)

[FSogol]

13. Probably similar to Obama. Was her stint as SOS particularly warlike?

Comparing Clinton to the Herman Cains and Rick Perrys of the world?

[McCamy Taylor]

14. Actually, I am glad to have him at the helm for social and economic reasons.

Like enforcing the Voting Rights Act (which W. never did). Folks in the US generally circle the wagons when it comes to external threats.

[quadrature]

15. so when does PBO decide to speakup?

is has been, how long ago,
that Putin invaded?
a day or so?

events are moving fast.

[dsteve01]

16. Remember that one time

we almost got into a major conflict with Russia, but then a reporter asked a nonchalant question to SoS Kerry -- which totally turned the conflict on it's head? Yeah, that reporter was kinda hot. What was her name/?

[Bonobo]

17. Even I can happily agree to that! nt
