Who is taking the fall this time. And more

Operation Fast and Furious, the economy debacle, unemployment numbers were all former President Bush's fault.  The IRS scandal were rogue agents in Cincinnati office.  The NSA scandal where agents were just following the Patriot Act.  Of course we know their actions were and are exceeding the requirements of the Patriot Act.   The  DOJ only enforcing those laws they like and then recently AG Holder tells state AG's to do the same.  AP scandal was just a misunderstanding and the FCC trying to control media content was really just an idea floated out loud by mistake.  Not a smidgen of truth here and I learned about all this when I heard about it from the news media.  We know former Pres. Bush cannot be blamed here or can he since he did not move against Russia when they invaded Georgia.  In any case, we know it will not be the Obama administration.   

We now have a president whose foreign policy nobody can understand but we can be assured it does not include making decisions.  With indecisiveness in Egypt, Libya and Syria and Iran, this was observed by many countries, especially Russia and China that may have embolden the Russians to invade the Ukraine and we see China making moves in the South China Sea.  Their motto has become, "You have nothing to fear, as long as Obama is there".   

We realize our options with the Ukraine crisis is limited and does and should not include military action by us.  However, what President Obama should do is reinstitute the missile defense system that he cancelled in Poland when he came into office.  Now is the time to play Putin's game and let him know his actions will not go without repercussions.  A foreign policy of appeasement did not work between Hitler and Chamberlain in the 1930's and will not work in the 21st century. Putin only understands appropriate and quick response to his actions that continuing such aggression will be met with policies that will reinforce cooperation with those countries that used to be under the control of the former Soviet Union that Russia invaded in fighting against the Nazis, and occupied for nearly 45 years.  But we know the answer here.  "What difference does it make". 

Now the Obama Administration is proposing a billion dollar energy subsidy for Ukraine.  Where is that money coming from?  We cannot afford to pay our military, but we are okay with sending money to Ukraine?  Yes, we can assist supporting Ukraine financially, but most of this should be shouldered by the EU.  We can improve their energy production and offer expertise in other areas that may need, but we know anything to do with energy production will get the environmental wachos that support Obama to raise concern about how this will increase global warming, climate change or since these phrases are not working they may use a new phrase such as Atmospheric Disturbances/Irregularities.
