Pot, meet kettle!

Kettle, meet pot!

Are you serious?

Just as a FYI, only because a few folks have commented on that. I am up at 3AM sometimes because I am WORKING. That's what small business folks do sometimes, is work late to make the business run and grow. Working at 3AM is a GOOD thing in my book since that means I have work to do and people to help. There. Everyone who is concerned with that can rest easy.

Hey, it sounds better than "I was PWI"

Truth always sounds better than PWI....

At a rally earlier in Red Square, many of the Russians were carrying signs that say "Obama, think about Alaska!"



I wonder what Obama's response will be when he gets done with tonight's fundraiser?

Joe drew some more red lines today, by saying that we may move assets into the theater, and that there were more sanctions coming but gave no details.

Inhofe Weighs in on Ukraine During Port of Catoosa Visit

http://kwgs.com/post/inhofe-weighs-ukraine-during-port-catoosa-visit

Sen. Jim Inhofe gave a legislative update today at the Port of Catoosa that veered into foreign policy.

A question-and-answer session during Inhofe's remarks to port stakeholders moved from local issues to international ones within about 15 minutes. Several people wanted to know about the situation in Ukraine. Inhofe said any gains made during the Cold War are being lost now.

"[Vladimir] Putin's going to go into the Ukraine now, then it will be others, and it's going to include Georgia," Inhofe said. "I guess what is happening in my opinion right now is that all the Reagan years are being undone and being reverted back."

He said most of the conversation on Capitol Hill about Russia is focused on economic sanctions.

"Do we enhance that by adopting a policy of — to pacify? Or do we get strong again and try to reassert ourselves in a military position that can do something about it ?" Inhofe said. "I fall into the second camp on that."

Inhofe said not building a ground-based missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic has been a foreign policy mistake.

Inhofe would be embarrassed by himself if he had enough intellect to understand that Reagan's advances were undone long ago by him and his ilk.

Gains during the Cold War?  Yeah...the gains of fighting stupid wars, squandering massive amounts of wealth and our kids on those wars...more than quadrupling the national debt during Raygun's regime.  Then doubling and doubling again under his protege's  Lulled the masses into the insanity that somehow now that Russia wasn't the "Soviet Union" they were our friend.  Yep, we came out way ahead.

"Going to include Georgia..." ??  Where has he been for the last few years - they have been in Georgia for a while now.  2008.  During Baby Bush's regime - and we all know exactly how 'firm' Bush handled that.

And he is seriously saying we should go fight Russia??  He has always wanted to sling the nukes (learned that from Goldwater...)   Sounds about right for his level.  Well, just so long as his grandkids go along with everyone else' - let's go!!


And I bet the majority of the people listening to him actually believed what he said.  Remember - 30% high school dropout rate is the norm for Oklahoma - and we see who gets voted in time after time.

Inhofe saying those words are really embarrassing. Does he not know that Russia already occupies most of Georgia? Does he not remember the U.S. response to Russian troops then under a republican President was economic sanctions?

He thinks we should reassert ourselves in a military position? Why should American lives be lost? This part of the world has been unstable for hundreds of years and has been part of Russia more often that not during the last century.

Let's just hope Jiminy isn't running again or at least that the GOP will realize he's ready to send out to the north 40 and they will find a quality candidate to forge a primary battle.

Putin fears the "hostile thrust"...whatever that is.

He doesn't get why we have an executive.

The law is the law, domestic and international. 

There is no plan but the President's plan, therefore there is no plan.

This is always good advice...
