#6  Press rapidly and actively grilling the president ignoring this news.

If it were Bush or a GOP president, the crescendo of doom would be deafening.

#5  See also WAFF > [NYT] US SANCTIONS RUSSIA BUT FINDS ITSELF IN RECESSION.

So once again, the USA may have an economic reason not to militarily respond iff-n-when Putin does finally send his RussArmy Boyz into the Eastern Ukraine.

Ditto RISING CHINA + RISING IRAN???

OWG GLOBALISM = HOW FAR CAN THE US + GREAT POWERS SAFELY RETREAT OR FALL BACK GEOPOL IN FAVOR OF WANNABES WIDOUT BEING EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED.

As best illustrated in current real-time by pro-Russian separatists on Donetsk + Luhansk+ Slavyansk continuing to take over the eastern Ukraine from Kiev despite the on-going begotiations between Vlad + the Bammer.

and

* TOPIX > KERRY: RUSSIA PUTS NATO MODEL OF GLOBAL LEADERSHIP AT STAKE.

OWG CO-SUPERPOWERISM = A FUTURE SPACE GOVT-ORDER LED BY MANY NUCLEAR-ARMED CHIEFS, AS OPPOSED TO ONE OR A FEW CHIEFS + MANY INDIANS???

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Independent.UK] US FOREIGN POLICY: PRESIDENT DEFENDS HIS OBAMA DOCTRINE WHERE MILITARY INTERVENTION IS A LAST RESORT.

Yokay, I'll bite, I thought the premise of the Bammer Doctrine was that a Country's Leader or Leadership could be diplomatically or forcibly removed iff it is found to had committed serious crimes agz its own people???

#2  when sales decrease because of weather in one quarter, they usually increase the next quarter

thus, most private forecasters are calling for the 2nd Q to have an annualized rate of +3% to +3.5%
