Agreed, all an act to make Putin’s puppet look like isn’t following him like a puppy.

Well, if Putin can’t stand Obama, that has to be a point in his favour.

I have to agree… I like Putin just a tiny bit more, if this is true.

You know you really want to know what putin thinks of zero….. but if you knew you couldn’t say it here because it would bring the ban hammer for sure on racial grounds.

Don’t forget, Poot and the new KGB know far more about little Bammie’s history than we do.

Putin would absolutely kick this joke of a president’s ass.

The leader of the “free world” is a pathetic joke while the bear waits for his chance.

Exactly right. JFK was a sickly and incompetent bumbler that nearly stumbled into a nuclear war.

Obama: “Comrade, I’d like…to…uhh…discuss the situation… in…uhh…Syria.”

Putin: (looks around room) “Where is my vodka? Did you call me Comrade? (smirks)”

Obama: “Uhh, I don’t…uhh…know. Now about… uhh… Syria…”

Putin: “I can’t talk to you without vodka. (patting chest) Your whining gives me indigestion.”

Obama: (motions to aide) “Can we… uhh… get my friend a… uhh… vodka? (leans in towards Putin) Now about Syria. I… uhh…”

Putin: (drains glass of vodka in one gulp and belches loudly) “Now that’s good vodka! Hit me again!”

Obama: “If we could… uhh… focus here, Vladimir. I’d like to… uhh… talk about the… uhh… Syrian situation.”

Putin: (drains second glass of vodka and loudly speaks) “Talk, talk, talk. I am sick of your talk. You say nothing I, Vladimir Putin, leader of greatest nation on Earth, want to hear! I’d rather be waterboarded… by the Chinese!”

Obama: (whining) “But… I… uhh… hit the reset… uhh… button… and told Comrade Medvedev… that I can… uhh… be more flexible after… uhh… the election.”

Putin: (getting up from seat to leave) “I must go now and wrestle a tiger. You ruin my mojo, dude!”

Obama: (speaking to back of exiting Putin) “Comrade… uhh… wait… uhhh… what about… uhh… Syria? Well… uhh… see you at… uhh… the presser.”

Putin: (muttering to aide) “I hope he gets re-elected!” (laughs)

I’m sure CBS will lead with this story tonight.

Putin used the reset to his advantage. He concluded it meant that Obama was weak. He acted accordingly and is taking advantage of that fact. Obama’s “I’ll have more flexibility after the election” further confirmed Obama’s weakness and reinforced Putin’s assessment.

Khrushchev concluded JFK was weak after the Bay of Pigs and after meeting him face to face. That gave us the Berlin Wall, a warmed up Cold War, and nukes in Cuba. Contrary to the Kennedy as Cuban Missile Crisis hero narrative the MSM and liberal public school teachers promote, Kennedy’s bumbling and the weakness he telegraphed brought us to the brink of nuclear war, and the Soviets and Castro extracted significant concessions from him in return for withdrawing those missiles.

Contrast that with the message Reagan conveyed.

In the world of Realpolitik international bullies, predators, and potential aggressors can sense and smell weakness. And they respond to it as predators do.

Beat me to it.

Putin is a “street brawler” who cultivates an uber-macho image (read: happily chooses to be feared rather than loved).

If this was a pay-per-view fight, it would be billed as “Vlad the Impaler vs. Effete Mom-Jeans Poseur”.

Was the outcome ever seriously in doubt?

Welcome to realpolitik Barry. Ain’t exactly like Saul taught it, eh Champ?

I challenge anyone, I mean anyone, to tell me with a perfectly straight face that something like that would have happened if Reagan was still around and in charge!

Obama is a certified, bonifide, USDA choice wimp!

Reagan always knew how to use leverage to get the deal done.

Obama and his lib administration think using leverage is tantamount to American arrogance.

Putin is KGB and will always be KGB. Putin will do anything to undermine US interests around the world and any US president who thinks differently is a fool.

Bingo. Reagan always knew exactly who he was dealing with. Obama thinks he can change their thinking, and thus, is failing miserably.

November can’t come quick enough.

They’re both avowed communists, but where Obama is a dreaming true believer, Putin is a ruthless bureacratic statist who will do anything for the power – including wiping out “comrades” that are potential threats or obstacles.

…..President Obama got a bit of a lecture from Putin about some other failed transitions that are going on around the world….

I challenge anyone, I mean anyone, to tell me with a perfectly straight face that something like that would have happened if Reagan was still around and in charge!

Obama is a certified, bonifide, USDA choice wimp!
