Krauthammer: Obama ‘Lethargic, Disinterested and Detached,’ Have To Wonder Why He Held Press Conference (RealClearPolitics)

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: And his answer was a demonstration of a word he loves, extraordinary, lethargy, distanced, disinterested, uninterested, where he said, you know, if Russia invades we're going to look at the policy again. And on sanctions he said, well, I'm not sure if it's working. He seemed to have zero interest in the issue and was willing to let events dictate. This is really unbelievable. This is Russia. The one country that can deter Russia is ultimately the United States. And we're just saying we're going to watch. If that isn't a signal to Putin in that he doesn't have to factor the United States in his calculation, I don't know what is.

He was equally as sort of lethargic and disinterested and detached in talking about Hamas. He has no sympathy for Hamas. His own State Department says it's a terrorist organization. He said the placing weapons among civilians is irresponsible. It's a bloody war crime! There's no passion, there's no interest, there's nothing behind it. You have to wonder why did he hold the press conference?
