What useful contribution could an Obamabot make to the meeting anyway?
We’d all like to go on holiday in Ireland. Some people, however, have been awarded positions of great power and must as a result give such things a miss.
Obama’s juvenile Israel-hating lackey has proven her worth.
Make sure Syrian nationals have her contact information, you know, in case they want a fire and brimstone confab.
Gives missing in action a new meaning.
Nobody wants this war except Obama’s legacy handlers.. His economic and domestic failures can be handled by looking forward.. So its easy to control the conversation there.. But making threats on the use of chemical weapons and then doing nothing, is to own almost everything that comes after.. Far beyond the ability of the MSM to control the conversation..
So its off to war because Obama’s black and not surprisingly America has no allies..
So America will cruse missile a few empty outhouses to protect their first born progressive son from any criticism.. Zero to hero with no looking back..
Kinda like his entire presidency..
Hey, don’t ask, don’t tell.
Obviously, the UN’s Samantha ‘Powerless’ was boning up on gallows humour.
I’m sure the black farce of rescuing the “Obama-Nation’s(tm)” tattered red line reputation will continue unabated.
They will pound the pulpit and sound the klaxon that doing something is better than nothing.
I’m not sure the Obama-Nation will be seeing flashes of light on the ‘road to Damascus’; so a conversion from his present path appears unlikely. On the other hand maybe he will see flashes of light on the road to Damascus but they won’t be the right kind…
“Too many members of the U.N. benefit from the status quo and won’t make decisions for purely altruistic reasons. Ambassador Power doesn’t understand this reality.
Power’s speeches, thus far, put forward purely intellectual arguments that are ignored by the very people we need to support us. This elitist strategy won’t work inside the U.N. Her academic style is bound to fail.”
…
“While we all want the U.N. to live up to its original intent and be the place where the world comes together to solve international problems, the reality is the U.N. isn’t all that different from any other political body. Countries and individuals play to the cameras, create good theatre and negotiate selfishly.”

…On the road to the spa:
A man has been undergoing medical treatment, and meets with his doctor to review some tests.
Doctor: I’m sorry, but I have bad news. Your condition is now incurable, and you have only 6 months to live. I recommend you get your affairs in order.
Man: That’s terrible! Isn’t there anything you can do? Surely there’s some treatment!
Doctor: No, we’ve been using the best available medicines, and they aren’t working.
Man: I’ll try anything…what about experimental treatments?
Doctor: There aren’t any for your disease, I’m afraid.
Man, desperate: Maybe alternate medicine??
Doctor, impatient: Well, I don’t believe in that stuff, but if you insist…you can go to the spa up the road everyday and get a mud bath.
Man: Really? That will help?
Doctor: No, but it will get you used to dirt.

A comedy festival in Ireland, maybe, she’s thinking of leaving the Obama Circus?
Wait, Ireland? Any chance Samantha Power is actually #Slanegirl?
Kate’s ongoing “Operation empty chair” series has given me an idea ow to properly immortalize the Obumbles (AKA Mr. Peace Pants) legacy.
We have a granite memorial facing the Lincoln memorial except the Obama memorial has just an empty chair (POTUS MIA) – wadda ya think, too cryptic or too obvious?
Sucks for Ireland to be a third-World country, with no Internet service, or any other means of participating in a conference call, doesn’t it?
I wonder if the tag #Slanegirl comes from a combination of the gaelic word “Sláinte” (which means health) and the Irish toast “A healthy heart and a wet mouth!”
To be fair about Samantha Power missing the non-crucial meeting, Obama never had any intention of striking Syria and some people understood that.
The entire purpose of the ‘WH leak’ and then sabre rattling was to clear the news coverage of the multitude of scandals: IRS, NSA, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, etc.
That said, how about Mileage Cyrus, eh?
No doubt she’ll be lecturing us about the environment as soon as she gets out of her Spears/Lohan trajectory.
maybe we can call this the occassional government. Obama occassionally takes time off from vacation and the UN ambassador occassionally shows up at the UN!!
The only red line Obama is worried about is the debt limit. If Americans/Congress had only seen the wisdom of massive military intervention to help Al Qaeda, he would have had a great excuse to blast through the debt ceiling.
Everything Cass Sunstein says should be considered comedy, so he’s in the right place. Let the severe mockery begin!
