Our State Department’s idea of a coordinated response to Putin’s aggression in Crimea is – wait for it – a hashtag. \u00a0This afternoon, using her official State Department Spokesman Twitter account, Jen Psaki tweeted out this picture and text:<\/p>\n

To echo @BarackObama<\/a> today-proud to stand #UnitedForUkraine<\/a> World should stand together with one voice pic.twitter.com\/VeMt578UdY<\/a><\/p>\n

That hashtag was later used by embassy staff, as well, so apparently they’re invested in this. \u00a0Also note that @BarackObama is not the twitter account for the President or the White House, but rather Organizing For Action, the official\/unofficial campaign arm of the Obama Administration. \u00a0That account has been tweeting heavily about Obamacare, the minimum wage, and immigration, along with touting their official OFA Store Grand Opening, but nothing about Ukraine, so it appears that the @StateDeptSpox doesn’t even know how to properly reference her boss on her social media of choice. \u00a0Way to go, guys.<\/p>\n

Under Barack Obama, the State Department has gone from incompetent (remember the Reset that was actually “Overcharged”), to dangerously incompetent (Cairo and Benghazi), to delusional (the Palestinian “peace process”), to now simply being an embarrassment. \u00a0It’s going to be a long three years.
