Why bother? Obama skips National Security Council meeting on Ukraine

President Hussein Obama skipped a key National Security Council meeting on Saturday in the face of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

A White House official emailed some reporters to say that President Obama's team met today to discuss the ongoing situation on Ukraine. It appears President Obama did not attend. 

"The President's national security team met today to receive an update on the situation in Ukraine and discuss potential policy options. We will provide further updates later this afternoon," reads the full statement.

According to Time magazine's Zeke Miller, Obama skipped the meeting. "Obama did not attend the meeting, but WH official says he has been briefed by Susan Rice and his national security team," says Miller.

Imagine if this were an announcement that Iran has developed nuclear weapons. What could go wrong?

P.S. Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons for a promise that the United States would protect its sovereignty.... Think about that, Prime Minister Netanyahu.
