    Was he golfing? What could possibly be more important right now than being at this meeting?

    There is nothing on his public calendar today, in terms of official business.

    Obama did not attend the meeting, but WH official says he has been briefed by Susan Rice and his national security team.

    Who are our allies anymore? Israel and Saudi Arabia have united against us, Brazil and the EU are discussing underground cables because of NSA/USA spying, Putin is invading his democratic neighbors and daring us to stop him, and China continues to own us.

    This must be a joke. Wouldn't you want to be in the meeting so you could ask questions? Who the hell is running this country?

    British intelligence is running the "revolution," as they have all big ones for centuries. The CIA is just the butler in the Soviet provinces, just assisting. Obama knows what's going down there. He'll hear any new trivia from the meeting soon enough.

    I really thought Carter would be the worst president of my lifetime. President Obama manages to combine the paranoia and pettiness of President Nixon, the incompetence of President Carter and the inattentiveness of President Reagan.

    Obama is just a moderator. The Denny of the world is T. Boone Pickens.

    Apparently Valerie Jarrett was at the meeting. Why, who knows, but she was there instead of the President. No surprise there. Couldn't they at least have given Barack some crayons, some construction paper, and some safety scissors and then put him in the corner while the grown-ups discussed real issues? Then he'd be in the room while this was being discussed. Then trot out Barack, put some words on a teleprompter, and have him read them to the teevee about how important this meeting was?

    In what appeared to be an illustration of the growing schism between the two world powers, U.S. President Barack Obama and Putin spoke for 90 minutes -- with each expressing their concern over the mounting crisis, according to separate statements released by their respective governments.

    According to the Kremlin, Putin told Obama that Russia reserves the right to defend its interests in the Crimea region and the Russian-speaking people who live there.

    "President Obama made clear that Russia's continued violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity would negatively impact Russia's standing in the international community," according to a statement released by the White House.

    Seems Obama and Putin have spoken directly and quite clearly at length.

    Not sure what could be gained from involving a myriad of other countries whose only interest in the matter is their self-interest.
