“I would like to address Obama as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate: Before using force in Syria, it would be good to think about future casualties,” Putin told Russian news agencies in Vladivostok during a tour of the country’s flood-stricken Far East.

“Russia is urging you to think twice before making a decision on an operation in Syria,” he said.

“While the Syrian army is on the offensive, saying that it is the Syrian government that used chemical weapons is utter nonsense,” Putin said.

On top of that, he said, the Obama administration’s “claims that proof exists, but is classified and cannot be presented to anybody, are below criticism. This is plain disrespect for their partners.”

“The U.S. president and I certainly discussed this problem at the G8” summit in June in Northern Ireland, he said. “And, by the way, we agreed then that we would jointly facilitate peace negotiations in Geneva, and the Americans committed themselves to bringing the armed opposition to these negotiations. I understand this is a difficult process, and it looks like they haven't succeeded in this.”

Putin should know by now not to believe anything Obama says. Obama is a pathological liar.

We have Pee Wee Herman as our President. He was voted in to office by people who believe that chairs can talk.

We need a “We’re sorry” rally to the world. US apologize for electing Obama and making the world suffer

Obama is an embarrassment to this country. He is, and always will be, nothing more than a community agitator.

Putin may not be a nice or honorable man, but has some gravitas. Obama, on the other hand, is ligher than air. The proverbial empty chair (the observance of which I believe is September 2nd).

Homo chimp with a hand grenade being mocked by the world.
Kerry, Clinton, seriously??? The world is laughing at us.
Putin can’t even look at our butt munch leaders without getting a sh*t eating grin.

‘We’re sorry.’

Sorry for what? Apologize to who?
I told anyone who would listen, and quite a few who would not, for several months in 2008 and again in 2011— when I was positively floored to see the irresponsible half of the country actually return this butt-pirate to office. I”m sure most here can say the same thing. Obama’s walking dead can apologise to the world, and then to us.
We here have no apologies.

This is where Putin nails it:


Putin said he was sure the attack was the work of rebels trying to provoke international — and especially American — involvement in the Syrian conflict. The regime of Bashar al-Assad, he said, would have had no reason to use chemical weapons at a time when it had gained the upper hand in the fighting.

“While the Syrian army is on the offensive, saying that it is the Syrian government that used chemical weapons is utter nonsense,” Putin said.

On top of that, he said, the Obama administration’s “claims that proof exists, but is classified and cannot be presented to anybody, are below criticism. This is plain disrespect for their partners.”

Obama and Putin should settle this Star Trek style

Of course Putin is Kirk, and Obama is nothing like the Gorn, more like the Geico gecko.
