**Written by Doug Powers ![]() What Obama said: “After my election I have more flexibility.” What Putin heard: “Count to ten and then help yourself to whatever country…” ***** Thousands of Russian troops have reportedly invaded the Crimea region of Ukraine. Oops, did I say “invaded” — I’m sorry, I meant to say Russian troops had an “uncontested arrival” for reasons of providing eco**mic assistance (John Kerry’s making Neville Chamberlain look like Patton). Yesterday after**on, President Obama transmitted this information to Vladimir: Officials say Obama may retaliate by canceling a trip to Russia this summer for an international summit and could also cut off trade discussions with Moscow. But it’s unclear whether those moves will have any impact on Russia’s calculus in Ukraine, which is at the center of what many see as a tug of war between East and West.Immediately after making that statement, at a DNC fundraiser, Obama convened “happy hour” for Democrats. **, seriously: “Well, it’s Friday. It’s after 5 o’clock. So, this is **w officially happy hour with the Democratic party,” the president told his cohorts. “I can do that. It is an executive action. I have the authority.”A round of Stoli for everybody! **t to harsh any Dem’s “happy hour” buzz, but parliament just gave Putin permission to mobilize Russian’s military in Ukraine (which he was doing anyway, but it’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission): Parliament voted unanimously on the request and also recommended that Moscow’s ambassador be recalled from Washington over earlier comments made by President Obama.At this point, the best way for Obama to make Putin nervous would be to tell him “if you like Ukraine, you can keep Ukraine.” I can’t wait for the Sunday shows tomorrow when Susan Rice says this all grew out of a protest of the movie Doctor Zhivago. Meanwhile, the confirmed prescience of Sarah Palin on this issue might quite well be a sign of the progressive apocalypse. **Written by Doug Powers Twitter @ThePowersThatBe ??????? ??????: Russian troops enter Ukraine; Obama convenes Dem ‘happy hour’ || ??????: rss || ??????: اسم منتداك
