MH17



Obama rips Romney on his Russian foreign policy. 2012 debate. Let's watch it again. How prescient the former Republican candidate was. 

What we see by the Candidate Obama is a daunting display of hubris and unfounded bravado. No one delights in the folly of the wicked, but one should take notice that in Life, somehow the truth always comes out. Despite the cost of lives.
Truth takes a heavy wage.
It's unfortunate that our current administration failed to take the crisis in the Ukraine seriously.
                                                       Maybe 295 people would still be alive.
Just maybe. 


Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this brutal act of terror. 

Here is how Obama handles the news of American lives lost yesterday


                                         

Maybe he should have waited and dedicated an entire news conference to an American terrorist attack.

In comparison here is how former Presidents reacted to the loss of  American lives caused by terrorism

President George W. Bush

President Ronald Reagan on the loss of 60 American lives on Korean jetliner flight 007 



As I write this I am listening to the Youtube video of Clinton's speech on the tarmac from 1996 (I am sorry I could not post the video itself).
Something about the manner in which Clinton addressed his nation and acknowledged the victims' families was very moving to me.

Could someone please remind Mr. Obama that Yes, the 1980s called and they want their foreign policy back? That knocking sound? It's the sound of Buk missile on your airliner.

What has happened? What has happened to our nation? How do we go from compassion to 'calling it in'? Obama's remarks yesterday are going viral on Twitter...and he is not faring well.
If I agree with Piers Morgan, it must really be that bad out there.
