Another Malaysian Airliner "crashed" ...

He also called Putin on the telephone within about an hour of the plane going down. And he directed US intelligence agencies to lend support to the investigators. What more is he supposed to do right now? Nobody knows much of anything yet. We don't even know for certain that there were any U.S. citizens on the flight.

One thing's certain. He shouldn't eat a hamburger at any point after a tragedy;.

The question is why was this aircraft flying over a war zone where other aircraft had previously been shot down?

No problem for Obama. He's munching on burgers, giving a speech about infrastructure, and going to a fundraiser tonight. 295 dead (including 23 Americans) don't rate a pause in his schedule. He did dedicate 40 seconds to this tragedy before going into his joke filled speech.

Jeez, never miss an opportunity do you? What a stupid and inconsiderate post.

Add another to the list downed by the Russians

On April 20, 1978, Soviet air defense shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 902 (KAL 902) near Murmansk, Soviet Union, after the civilian aircraft violated Soviet airspace and failed to respond to Soviet ground control and interceptors.

Korean Air Lines Flight 007 (also known as KAL007 and KE007) was a scheduled Korean Air Lines flight from New York City to Seoul via Anchorage. On September 1, 1983, the airliner serving the flight was shot down by a Soviet Su-15 interceptor near Moneron Island, west of Sakhalin Island, in the Sea of Japan

Or the USA:
Iran Air Flight 655 was an Iran Air civilian passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai that was shot down by the United States Navy guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes on 3 July 1988. The attack took place in Iranian airspace, over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, and on the flight's usual flight path. The aircraft, an Airbus A300 B2-203, was destroyed by SM-2MR surface-to-air missiles fired from the Vincennes.

All 290 on board, including 66 children and 16 crew, died.[1] This attack ranks tenth among the deadliest disasters in aviation history, the incident retains the highest death toll of any aviation incident in the Persian Gulf and the highest death toll of any incident involving an Airbus aircraft anywhere in the world.[2] The Vincennes had entered Iranian territorial waters after one of its helicopters drew warning fire from Iranian speedboats operating within Iranian territorial limits.

LOL. Another Dittohead. Everything in life isn't 24/7 Red versus Blue.
When Obama gave his speech there were not enough details to insert it into a speech.

It's not like when two U.S. airliners hit the Twin Towers and Dubya went catatonic.

Foreign airliner shot down over Central Europe?
Six degrees of BHO.

Because a real POTUS would launch a nuclear missile strike against Russia, to show em how tough we are.

Or... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberia_Airlines_Flight_1812

Siberia Airlines Flight 1812 crashed over the
Black Sea on 4 October 2001, en route from
Tel Aviv , Israel to Novosibirsk, Russia. The
plane, a Soviet -made Tupolev Tu-154 , carried
an estimated 66 passengers and 12 crew
members. Most of the passengers were Israelis
visiting relatives in Russia. No one on board
survived. The crash site is some 190 km west-
southwest of the Black Sea resort of Sochi and
140 km north of the Turkish coastal town of
Fatsa and 350 km east-southeast of
Feodosiya , Ukraine. Ukraine admitted that the
disaster was probably caused by an errant
missile fired by its armed forces.

Oh dear the Right who hate Obama let nothing cloud their hate-filled vision.

[Pelheckitt]

I have never stated anywhere that I "hate" Obama. I have never state that I favored any party.

I merely had a question that was straight forth and simple, why would someone choose a flight path that leads directly over an area that 3 other planes had been shot down in the past 2 weeks before this incident?

I understand that Obama didn't have all the facts or anything prepared to say about the civilian aircraft being shot down by either Ukrainians or most likely Russian insurgents and that was kind of the point of what I wrote. He could have ended his appearance at the fundraiser and following events politely excused himself and met with his cabinet to try and determine what if anything needed done and prepared a better statement.
