It’s not only that Putin has absolutely no respect for obama, it’s that this acknowledges there is no one in the obama regime with the knoweldge and experience — much less the competency — to find a way for our infirmative-action president to get through to a world leader in a time of crisis.

Not only that... Worse,... We have given away all of our leverage and influence in the world, especially with our foes, like Russia.

Russia said, "USA, stop the missle defence programs for your allies in Europe." We did. Russia said, "You guys shouldn't meddle in the Middle East concerning Jordan." We didn't. Russia said, "You better not get involved in Syria." We didn't. They said, "Stop your military involvement in Lybia or else." We did.

Now Obama would like to level a threat back and Russia won't pick up the phone? That seems about right to me.

After reading the humor, y’all might want to read another New Yorker article. I’m surprised at the content.

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/09/08/return-war

“Obama and his advisers have at times taken refuge in a self-absolving logic: We can’t force people in other countries to unite around our agenda, so, if they don’t, whatever calamity unfolds is their responsibility. As a retreat from American hubris, this form of realism has appeal. As a contribution to a stable Middle East, it has failed utterly.”

excerpt.

It’s about time some of these liberal comedians have started to make fun of Obama.

Putin has absolutely no respect for obama

***********
Putin, like much of America, is probably sick and tired of being bored by Obama’s ponderous pontification and platitudes. And like Putin, we’ve all essentially hung up on him.

Ha! Good for Putin. Can’t blame him. Obama is a pansy and warrants zero respect.

The President hinted that Putin’s failure to respond to his voice mails could result in additional sanctions and signaled that he did not intend to call the Russian President again.

Is that another threat? A "red line" maybe? How embarrassing.

Back in 2010, When Obama was trying to strong-arm Israel into some ridiculous concession, I realized that Bibi should simply IGNORE Obama. Obama in general doesn’t care about foreign matters, his naive leftist ideology places him in a box regarding action, Obama’s main concern is short-term domestic PR optics and headlines, and above all, Obama is a weakling. All this means he can be ignored without consequence.

Obviously, Putin came to the same realization.

If any of you are fans of Archer, you know how potentially hilarious this could be.

It’s never Obama’s fault.

********
You make a fundamental and important observation here. Obama refuses to be accountable or responsible for anything. His very first instict is to lay blame elsewhere.

The country put a psychologically unstable and unfit person into high office. Big mistake that we’ll be paying for for decades to come.
