Why did Obama allow this to happen?

Why did Obama let this happen, and other questions on Ukraine

byJed LewisonFollow forDaily Kos.
1.Why did U.S. President Barack Obama let this happen?
That's the question everyone in Washington, DC is asking. It's a perfectly reasonable question to ask—if you are incapable of seeing beyond the very dark hole into which you've placed your entire head.

2.On a related note, why did President Obama allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to host the Olympics, particularly with the Benghazi scandal still unresolved?
This is a crucial question, particularly since the International Olympic Committee awarded the games to Sochi in July, 2007. Unfortunately, we may never know the answer—unless House Government Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa succeeds in compelling former IRS nonprofit division head Lois Lerner to testify before his committee.

what Putin will do and say. Because, like, Obama is the king. He is King Obama, in charge of the entire world.

once mentioned horseback riding. Obama says, "The guys in Brokeback Mountain didn't even go that far."

Then, it (the good thing) happened despite Obama's efforts to stop 'the good thing' from happening.

That's just the way the real world works.

I don't doubt our operatives are behind the Ukraine matter, but this is pure tripe.

"Not resolving Benghazi" is a Republican mating call. Go hang out with them. You'll be a hit, no doubt.

I keep hearing that Russia took over Georgia. See, all that ice down there was nothing for the good old Rooskies. They love that shit. So there goes one state. If they take over Ukraine, which is like near Kansas, what will happen to voting there? Will it get worse? And who cares anyway, what does the Ukraine have to offer anyway? Monsanto salted corn?
