Yet another public disruption by #blackcatlivesmatter.
I was hoping for some hijinks with a guard dog arriving on the scene.
I can’t bear to hear Obama speak. That empty ratchet-jawing…
But no rats, right? I mean, other than the foursome in the second photo. There should have been a warning posted on that one.
Who’s the person with her back turned to us?
Claire those are special commando cats assessing the situation and providing extra security.
Looks like Susan Rice.
Well, we can take solace in the fact that since it was cats, they weren’t doing so at anybody’s bidding but their own :)
Are those the Polonium-210 Delivery Cats I’ve been hearing about?
Caption: US President Obama meets Russian President Putin. Also pictured are a senior Russian adviser and some unidentified Slavic-looking guy.
The video is utterly charming. However, I’ll need some therapy after seeing the photograph. Perhaps an adult beverage. After all, it’s five o’clock somewhere, right?
I wish those world leaders were as committed to our security as they are to their own.
And the reason this meeting takes place in a Muslim country is…
Evil always finds a way in.
What with the Climate Crisis, security crisis, and budget crisis, can’t these people use Skype or Go-to-Meeting? Seems to me like a big waste of jet fuel, money, and police just to puff up their important big-shot status.
Since Obama promised the Russians in 2012 he’d have more flexibility in dealing with them after his reelection he’s really just fulfilling a campaign pledge. You have to respect him as a man of his word.
He keeps his word to tyrants perhaps, and his far-left backers. Not to the people. To us, he lies brazenly and breaks his promises routinely.
^This. Especially when the Moron in Chief uses that condescending, professorial voice to say things that everyone but him has known for years, as if he was explaining a truth to small children who don’t understand it. “This was not an attack on Paris alone, but on all civilization.” Well no bat guano, Sherlock! The jihadists have been waging a war on all civilization since they emerged in the 90’s. Just because you never noticed it, doesn’t mean that the rest of us haven’t.
Obama just finished his G20 speech I just watched CNN’s Christiane Anampour, a committed liberal, rip Obama for ignoring reality and insisting we are winning against ISIS. It was quite a hammering and surprising given the source.
Yes but we don’t count as we are on the wrong side of history!
Here is something Islamists and leftists have in common: Lying is a morally acceptable political strategy, and a desired political end justifies any means.
Yeah. If security is so tight, how did Obama and Putin get in?
Well it all depends on how you look at it.
The only time in his speech that Obama seemed really engaged was when he was insisting the U.S would continue with its plans to admit Syrian refugees. The rest he was saying words but in his normal, flat recitation style. That thing in Paris was apparently more random folks killing random folks just like at that grocery story in Paris back in January – you know, the one that apparently coincidentally just happened to be kosher.
Putin can understand and speak some English. I doubt he would rely on it in such a setting, but it would probably be good enough. Obama doesn’t listen to anybody other than Valerie Jarrett, and there is no need to pay attention to anything he says (“if you like your plan”, “ISIS has been contained”). So there is no need for an interpreter. Could be anybody.
Claire,
Listen Claire this is serious. These cats are everywhere. I don’t trust them they are taking over.
Aw c’mon it’s just my imagination.
Whoa!
Regards,
Jim
No, you’re thinking about the X-15C cruise basselope.
The cats should be in charge. They have fearless contempt for their enemies.
The opposite of Obama, whose enemies have fearless contempt for him.
Claire,
Single woman held hostage by group of cats
Claire! Claire! Are you OK?!!!
Regards,
Jim
Grumpy Cat for president.
