The Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Subcommittee on Europe- has never been there!
"despite serving as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Subcommittee on Europe, Barack Obama has not been there"
And perhaps more important:
"Obama did not call any issue or policy oriented hearings in the Subcommittee during his tenure."

2. Question: Obama has been to the Ukraine on Foreign Relations missions regarding loose nukes
Is the Ukraine in Europe? Hint: they use the Euro as currency and it is historically considered the "heart of Europe".

What's your answer?

6. "missions"? "heart of Europe"?
England doesn't use the Euro - so they're not part of Europe by your logic?
OK, so he spent a few hours one afternoon in Kiev. That changes everything!:rofl:

8. Your backwards logic is hilarious.
Not all countries in Europe use the Euro.

5. I don't know why the BamaBots
don't see the danger in a situation like this and, instead of excoriating anyone who brings it up, actually work to come up with a reason for his not calling meetings and not taking advantage of this Golden Opportunity the Dem Leadership (I'm assuming as I'm not sure how these things are decided) gave him to burnish his Foreign Policy credentials.

And not one of those weak "it's Biden's fault!" answers because, for a Candidate supposedly of Political Courage ready to take on the job of President on Day One, blaming someone else isn't going to fly with Voters.
