So, what did it take to win the coveted “douchiest tweet of the day” award? This:
New rule, champs: You don't get to fault Obama for being "weak" unless you clearly state what you want him to do that he's not doing.
— Dylan Byers (@DylanByers) March 18, 2014
Got it? Just as Obama’s “team of merry manchildren” faulted Mitt Romney for not providing in his op-ed the solution to the Ukraine crisis, Politico’s Dylan Byers seems to think that you can’t call Obama “weak” unless you tell him what he should be doing.
@DylanByers You mean like go back in time and undo the missile defense pullout from eastern europe?
— S D Winkler (@sdwinkler) March 18, 2014
Yeah, like that.
@sdwinkler @DylanByers Hit it on the head.

@DylanByers You mean like go back in time and undo the Syrian red line threat?
— S D Winkler (@sdwinkler) March 18, 2014
@DylanByers Not give an ultimatum to Russia and Syria that threatens action followed by inaction.

@DylanByers You mean, like, stuff that might have induced Vlad to act to differently or change course? Ha! He's weak, WEAK, I tell yee.

@DylanByers says one cannot assert that Obama's weakness enabled Putin's aggression. He feels weakness is only a present tense construct.

Time travel seems to be central to a winning Ukraine strategy.

Well, since we don’t have time travel yet, what do you think Obama could do to not appear weak?

@thegoldfarb Sign me up for most (all?) of that but it would neither have deterred until now, nor will it induce reversal.@DylanByers

@DylanByers C'mon. No fly zone in Syria. Missile defense in e. Europe. No loosening Iran sanctions w/o dismantling centrifuges. For a start.

@DylanByers @allahpundit WH talking pt. Start at the beginning of his presidency. Leave anti-missile. No START. Hit Syria. 5yrs of screw ups

As long as we’re laying down the rules…
New rule, champ: You don't get to make rules after joining in the mocking of Romney when he called the Russian situation. @DylanByers
