Question

How come Obama didn't know Russia has veto power on UN Security Council? Too inexperienced? Too naive? What?

Answer 1

Can you provide proof of this fact?

Answer 2

He knew it. But, bringing this matter before the Security Council and forcing the Russian Federation to veto it publicly would prove quite embarassing. Of course it would not rise to the level of what happened when Nikita Kruschev banged his shoe on the conference table during a meeting of the Security Council and the British delegate deflated him by saying:

"Her Majesty's representative respectfully requests consecutive translation of the last speaker's remarks".  

Answer 3

Too stupid, most lamebrains know that answer.

Answer 4

Oh come on, it's not like the President actually 'does' anything. Obama's going to get the puppet spokesperson seat the same way his cousins Cheney & Bush got in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjwgkCZFP...

Answer 5

I think Obama was high during this whole Georgia-Russia thing.  He said some of the most ridiculous things I've heard come out of an American politician's mouth.  He condemned Russia because, "the invasion was not in keeping with the spirit of the Olympics."

What, was he trying to be inspirational and tie in the festivities of the Olympics while people were dying?  Now he wants Russia to condemn itself through the United Nations.....
