Arizona U.S. Sen. John McCain said something on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday about the U.S.’s handling of the ongoing standoff between Russia and Ukraine that surprised host Bob Schieffer.
“I’m ashamed of my country, I’m ashamed of my president and I’m ashamed of myself that I haven’t done more to help these people,” McCain said. “It is really, really heartbreaking.”
McCain was expressing his frustration with how the U.S. and major European powers like France and Germany have failed to stop Russian president Vladimir Putin’s advance on Ukraine.
“I believe that German chancellor and president of France legitimized for the first time in 70 years the dismemberment of a country in Europe. It’s shameful. Vladimir Putin has not paid any price,” McCain said.
McCain supports providing weapons to Ukraine to help fight against the Russians and pro-Russian separatists. The Ukranians “are not asking for American boots on the ground, but merely weapons to defend themselves against the Russian onslaught,” McCain said.
“Vladimir Putin wants Ukraine not to be part of Europe, and he is succeeding in doing so,” McCain continued, adding “this is really a dark chapter in the history of our alliance.”
Schieffer circled back to McCain’s comments about being ashamed because of the U.S.’s failure to intervene, expressing just how surprised he was to hear the Republican say that.
“I’ll say this, senator, I’ve known you for a long, long time, interviewed you many, many times, and I’ve never heard you say I’m ashamed of my country, which you just said,” said Shieffer.

McCain probably thought there would be air support for the Ukes, even though (obviously now) Obama still has control over the air force even if he can't control the CIA. Looks to me as if the Kenyan averted WWIII. But go ahead, pretend that he's the worst president ever if it makes you feel better.
Wilson, FDR or Lincoln are still much worse. Reagan brought us Bush. I could go on, but you're not listening.

Bush has made everything that Obama is doing possible. Without 911 and DHS there would be absolutely no support for or structure for carrying out what Obama is doing.
The biggest bunch of rubes on the planet in utterly failing to be able to realize that are the neocons. Not that the rest catch on, just sayin'.
And I agree, we would be nowhere near the state that we're in without Wilson's tenure. The Fed, the 16th amendment, the absolute ignoramus, fool, and gullible moron he was for getting the US into WWI, thus causing WWII, I could go on, you get it, a few others do, but most do not. It's disheartening to me that so many in this forum fail to understand this. Of all places.
Obama's just the next candle in already iced cake.

I think the yid cabinet came to Obama and said "don't you want to set the Mideast free?" He said, "Yes, let's have an Arab spring!" He didn't realize the havoc that would cause. Likewise, he didn't realize that Israel just wanted to draw the Rooskies out of Syria by attacking them on their flanks.
Dang it, I must be giving him more credit than the average 4um member can muster. He's too black to figure things out on his own. For me, I'm reminded of our only fractionally decent president in recent history, Jimmy Carter. Carter went out as unpopular as an African with Ebola. His budget? The least imbalanced by half of any of the intervening presidents. His legacy? A real peace treaty. Of course the Kike Establishment hated him.
On August 30, 1979, some bad news broke for President Jimmy Carter. It involved Carter's fending off a rabbit on a fishing trip in southwest Georgia back in April. What appeared to be an amusing story in an outdoorsman's life came to symbolize a perception by some of an ineffective Carter presidency.
Carter was alone in a small fishing boat when a swamp rabbit, a species of large cottontail, began swimming toward his boat. He turned the frightened and agitated rabbit away with a paddle. Several months later he jokingly mentioned it to press secretary Jody Powell, who repeated it offhandedly to a reporter. To Powell's horror, The Washington Post headlined "President Attacked by Rabbit." Carter was lampooned by turns as crazy, weak, and ineffective. The Iranian Hostage Crisis that began two months later, and haunted the rest of his term, seemed to confirm to his critics what the rabbit story suggested.
One writer later observed that the beginning of the end for the Carter presidency was August 30, 1979, Today in Georgia History.
