Boom!
I know Obama is busy, but maybe he should become more engaged in this Snowden situation.

Hey, he can’t! President Obama knows nothing about anything until he’s read it in the papers or seen it on the news, right? So we can’t expect to even hear from him yet.
But Sen. Schumer took to the Sunday shows today and weighed in on the Snowden fiasco:
Schumer says Snowden fiasco will have “serious consequences” for U.S./Russia relationship. New reset, maybe? http://t.co/i4DLkob75b

Sen. Chuck Schumer, on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday morning, told host Candy Crowley that he is “very disappointed” with how Hong Kong handled Snowden, and believed that “the hand of Beijing was involved here.” He had harsher words for Russia, saying there’d be “serious consequences” for the U.S.-Russia relationship, and that “allies are supposed to treat each other in decent ways.” The senator also made the assumption that Vladimir Putin approved Snowden’s plane landing in Russia, and called the president “infuriating.”
Twitter users, including Drudge editor Joseph Curl, aren’t impressed by Schumer’s bluster.

They also point out a few things about our craven President:
What will Obama do now that he's been bitch-slapped by Putin? http://t.co/YGxIVRRraD

Snowden flying Aeroflot w/ stop in Moscow. And that's Putin's way of saying he thinks #obama is a spineless loser. #tcot #lnyhbt

Now that Snowden is in Russia, I'm sure Obama's good friend Putin will return him! Hillary reset everything with him! Right/ #tcot

U.S./Russia “reset” now amounts to Putin kicking Obama in the nuts every week or so #snowden #syria

I'm sure #Putin will be calling Obama shortly regarding #Snowden's extradition. #sarcasm
