Obama is missing in action. Today, participated in conference call with a Radio Free Europe reporter who is on the ground outside of Gori. During the conversation you could hear Russian tanks in the background and he reported on refugees fleeing the scene.

The first one is to Robert Bluey’s Twitter feed on the conversation.

I fear that the respect that the conservative party commands may be in jeapordy by bylines like this. Was Obama absent during this international event? Great! Lets report that. But rubbing salt in the wound by picking apart what food he was eating makes us appear childish. This type of politics worked in the past, but I fear that it wont last. Rather that risk looking like the mud-throwers here, what if we rose above and showed ourselves as fact-throwing, intellegent people? Report the facts, not the opinions. People need to see their canidate for who they are, not for who the other isn’t.

Funny, I seem to remember the whole Republican party pouncing on Obama for being presumptuous and arrogant for sitting down with world leaders last month. Now, when he issues a statement on the conflict, that’s not enough? You guys would be screaming bloody murder if Obama sent his Senate henchmen to Georgia to monitor this situation like McCain has.

now can I eat my ice cream?”

BO is not qualified for the presidency…and this little excursion of the Russians into Georgia and now threatening Poland is a prime example that BO would destroy this nation and put us under communist or Islamic rule

And to the liberal posters who are decrying this article: Grow up and stop and smell the roses. BO is unqualified and his not stopping his vacation while trying to act presidental is not doing him any good. In fact it is making sure that America see him for what he is. UNQUALIFIED

Neither candidate should be doing much about this crisis. It is up to the current administration to handle this.

The person MOST RESPONSIBLE for managing this crisis for America just bailed out of Washington for TWO weeks off. Your carping is just ridiculous.

This pretty much sums up the empty suit.

I’m really surprised the NYT editors allowed that line passed them to the press.

…to the ill effects that would result from Obama actually trying to inject himself into this situation, which demands actual grown-ups to deal with it.

John McCain is acting like he is already President and Barack Obama is acting like he wants to stay in the Senate.

When you are on the left and you are being criticized by the New York Times then you better figure you are in trouble.
