On Wednesday, while discussing Forbes magazine releasing its 2015 Most Powerful list, the hosts of CBS This Morning were perplexed by Russian president Vladimir Putin beating out President Obama for the top spot, with Obama only being number three on the list.
Charlie Rose pressed Forbes assistant managing editor Luisa Kroll: "Make the case as to why Vladimir Putin is more powerful than President Obama." Kroll explained: "I think a lot has to do with how he exercises his power and his influence. Whether it's in Crimea or in the Ukraine, he's not afraid to go out and exercise his power. He has no checks and balances."Rose interjected: "So it's not a question of being more powerful; he's simply using it." [...]
Moments later, fellow co-host Gayle King fretted: "But the President of the United States wasn't even in the number two position. You would think, in America..." Kroll responded: "No, that's the first time since we've been doing the list that he actually falls, that any U.S. President falls out of the top two spots." ...

Your post did make me laugh...it just...fit!
Why should this ‘baffle’ anyone? Putin is a MAN! bath house barry is just that!!!
Make the case as to why Vladimir Putin is more powerful than President Obama...
Putin, although very evil, acts in the best interest of his Country to the detriment of the Western Alliance (NATO) and the poor former captive nations on Russia border.
On the other hand..
Obama,a homosexual, Muslim, Marxist, benny-boy, acts in all manner of detriment to the unfortunate Country he is the so called leader of.
FUBO
MSM loons are baffeled by pretty much everything.
GO Vlad, GO!!
It won’t be long before Donald Trump heads this Forbes list.
Putin is a Russian patriot. Obola is a traitor who bitterly hates America and Americans.
The photo of Obama riding a bicycle with the helmet on says it all.
Leading from behind isn’t the stance of a powerful leader
Barry is in fact, a big bit€h.
Power is a measure of will, not arms.
It was a list of the, “Most Powerful.” Had it been a list of, the “Most Pussified,” Obama would surely have won.
Where would Obama be if you took away his Affirmative Action bonus points?
Obama is butt boy. Just google Obama Mans Country.
Rahm Emmanuel was a lifetime member too. Not surprising for a ballet major.
“Obama is weak and everyone knows it.”
I disagree. He is doing what he want to do in international affairs. It’s just that his goals are not America’s goals. So he only seems weak if you assume he is pro-American.
Domestically, he has transformed America with actions and executive orders that just ignore the constitution and separation of powers. There is no comparable administration—note even LBJ, Nixon or FDR were so unfettered in their contempt for law and constitution. He has attacked civilians who oppose him in ways unprecedented even in previous corrupt administrations.
Not weak at all. Deliberate and evil.
I’m amazed that after six years of this, some people still believe the guy is driven by incompetence rather than malice.
Pope is #4, Xi is #5.
