Violence in Kiev looks increasingly like civil war and of course the White House is “appalled.” So “appalled” that Uncle Joe Biden gave Ukraine’s president a phone call.
Ukraine? Venezuela? President Priorities is on it. If by “it” you mean spending the evening yukking it up with campaign donor George Clooney during “Monuments Men” movie night.
Optics are hard.
Kiev: ON FIRE
Venezuela: ON FIRE
Obama: watching a movie.http://t.co/5JLH34dKZK— Razor (@hale_razor) February 18, 2014

@Matthops82 Tis 'movie night'. Much like 'fiddling while Rome burned' he's 'watching a movie, while Kiev burned'.

Two countries going up in flames and Obama is hosting a movie premiere party #Optics #MonumentsMen

States and art are literally burning to ground but Obama would rather watch a movie about it happening. #Celebsident

Ukraine is on fire, what is Obama doing…?Throwing a movie night! With each day that passes he disgusts me more and more. He has no shame.

With Obama’s track record, maybe it’s best he’s asleep while Ukraine and Venezuela go down in violence.
