Meanwhile, Where's Our "Fearless Leader"?

President Obama has really upset people around the world for his disengagement from reality with his tepid reaction to the shoot-down of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17. Instead of cancelling his fundraising appearances and be presidential, he zooms right along almost acting as if nothing happened.

He started a speech in Delaware with this (source: Daily Mail (U.K.)):

Before I begin, obviously the world is watching reports of a downed passenger jet near the Russia-Ukraine border. And it looks like it may be a terrible tragedy. Right now we’re working to determine whether there were American citizens on board. That is our first priority.

"May" be a terrible tragedy?! Unbelievable!

Then he goes on with his prepared speech, just joking away.

Even CNN's Piers Morgan was perplexed:

Former CNN host Piers Morgan reacted with his typical barbs. 

'President Obama massively dropped the ball just now,' Morgan tweeted. '23 Americans killed and he says "it looks like a terrible tragedy" then back to jokes?'

At the time, it was thought that 23 Americans were on the doomed airliner.

Folks, we've an idiot in the White House who was elected by morons. Thanks to Obama, "The Bear Is Loose."

Vladimir Putin Owns This: "We have just shot down a plane"

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, a Boeing 777, was shot down by a BUK surface-to-air missile at about 33,000 feet (cruising altitude).

Evidence is mounting that Russian military intelligence and Ukrainian separatists were the culprits.

According to the U.K. Telegraph:

Ukraine's security service released intercepted phone calls that it says show Russian military intelligence admitting they shot down the plane.

In one call, a rebel says, “We have just shot down a plane.”  

The BUK missile used to shoot down the jet is too sophisticated for separatists to soley operate without Russian military assistance.

Sadly, this incident is a reminder of the shoot-down of Korean Airline Flight 007 back on September 1, 1983. The then-Soviet Union first denied shooting down the passenger jet, but later had to admit fault.

President Ronald Reagan went on national television on September 5 and said:

Let me state as plainly as I can: There was absolutely no justification, either legal or moral, for what the Soviets did.

Reagan also said that the shoot-down of KAL007 was "an act of barbarism, born of a society which wantonly disregards individual rights and the value of human life and seeks constantly to expand and dominate other nations."

It appears the Russians haven't either evolved or learned their lesson from the 1983 tragedy.

Whether or not the Russian military fired the missile doesn't matter. They were there under Putin's orders and possibly given to the separatists to use against aircraft.

Russian President Vladimir Putin owns this.
