elected president. Had Romney been elected, we would have had troops all over the Black Sea by now. Obama is not in control of
this. This is a bunch of rich oil men trying to steal Russian oil. Oil people are so crooked you would not believe it. I was STAT Regional Manager for an oil company right before they merged with another oil company. I told them I wasn't interested in the new company.

Anyway, the people that are pushing Obama will not take "no" for an answer. And that's the name of that tune. We merely prolonged the agony. Well, my friend the Turk has been calling me so I have to go. I want to see what he says about any new American ships entering the Black Sea yet unreported by Drudge.
