Vladimir "Putin is a gift to caricaturists," said Barry Blitt, a New Yorker artist, when he designed a Sochi Olympic-themed cover earlier this year, featuring the Russian leader in frilly ice skating attire. The caricature artists of Russia take a very different approach. On Friday a gallery titled "No Filters" with the work of about 100 cartoonists opened in Moscow, and just about all their images show Putin favorably: as a strongman, a political chess master, and a fighter against fascists and terrorists. In one conspicuously large work, Putin is spanking President Barack Obama, who has the body of schoolboy.

Obama is not going to take that well.
He has a thin skin when it comes to being an object of ridicule.
So, what’s he going to do about it?
Force his dog Bo to take a commercial flight to his next fundraising gig instead of using a government aircraft? Dump his plate of organic kale chips into Michele’s lap? Kick his custom-crafted Reset button around the West Wing? Refuse to put his other toys away after playtime ends?

It looks like most of the “ideas” for the Russian artists’ pieces were stolen from the West. I have seen some version of those many times before.

If an exhibit on Obama opened in the US, it would be exactly the same -- all favorable. We aren't that different fron Russia anymore.

The word doesn’t mean “targeted” sanctions, it means “accurate” sanctions. And it looks like Putin is being very accurate in his sanctions.

Apart from the obvious hilarious comically of the good taste in this Russian art, the irony sets the greater thought of laughter.

We’ll never hear any comments from the white hut on this.

Obama seems to be the type that would enjoy being in that position with Putin.

That is HYSTERICAL...and totally true, at least if Obama tries attacking targets being defended by S-400 Surface-to-air missiles.
