The top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee accused the Obama administration on Sunday of showing “wishy-washiness” toward Russian President Vladimir Putin as he attempts to take control of a Ukraine peninsula.
Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker said Secretary of State John Kerry is sending the wrong message by saying U.S. opposition to Putin’s military troops taking control of facilities in the Crimea peninsula was “not a threat” and “nothing personal.”
“Our administration has created an air of permissiveness,” Corker told “Fox News Sunday.” “We have to show more resolve. It’s not helpful. It shows wishy-washiness.”
Putin has sent troops into the region amid Ukraine’s political upheaval and has defended his efforts by saying he is trying to protect Russian interests in Crimea amid widespread protests, which last month led to the ouster of pro-Russian Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych.Read the rest HERE and listen to Sen Bob Corker's interview below:

Isn't wishy-washy a little lame? haha. I can think of a few better words to describe Obama on Ukraine, or on any other foreign policy issue.
Obama has a combination of at least three problems that make him very dangerous. His outsized ego, his incompetence, and that fact that he simply doesn't care.
Putin and every other world leader can do whatever they want, whenever they want, and we aren't going to do anything about it. Ever. Period.

And by 'leader', I mean to include dictators, tyrants, thugs, etc.

Putin is our hero for dissing the Kenyan Socialist Mom-Jean Wearing Obama.
