Josh Earnest Excuses Putin's Obama Snub: 'Chaos' Inside UN Building
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Vladimir Putin probably had to wait 20 minutes for an elevator. Yeah, that's the ticket . . .

Josh Earnest, Barack Obama's spokesman, has excused Vladimir Putin's snub of the President of the United States, in which the Russian strongman turned up 20 minutes late for their lunch at the UN yesterday. On today's Morning Joe, Earnest lamely defended Vlad's tardiness: "anybody that's been around the UN during the General Assembly knows it's total chaos inside that building, so people ae running late quite frequently. " Right. And if you believe that, we've got an oceanfront condo in Moscow to sell you.

Yeah. That’s right. It was all an accident. Srsly? Why would Vlad hurry to meet with the wuss in chief? Maybe just sending another message?

More from “Operation Protect the Child.” Manufacture any excuse needed to continue the Child’s self delusional grandeur.

Obama is the guy who famously never showed up on time and made people cool their heels for him.

The balance of power is shifting and Putin is showing who is the man in the relationship.

...a little taste of his own medicine habitual tardiness.

Putin should have told him to circle the room till he arrives.

I’m guessing “Puti Poot” only shows up on time for the important meetings...

Yep.....Putin is treating Obama like Obama treats Netanyahu. Putin has no respect for Obama and Obama has no respect for Netanyahu. How’s that ‘flexibilty’, in regards to Russia, working out for you, Barrrrrrack?

When it comes to communist leaders, I prefer Putin to the one we have.

The facial expressions in the picture scream volumes.

I accept Earnest’s statement.

There’s ALWAYS chaos around rock stars. And Putin’s a rock star right now. Probably couldn’t get to the elevator because of all the delegates trying to high-five and take selfies with him.

Must make Obama nostalgic for his Nobel Peace Prize days ...

;-)

Obama is such a master of accomplishment!/s Putin should hand Obama a bill for cleaning up the messes he has made and then fled, leaving the other world leaders to suffer the consequences.

Really, why should Putin even meet with Obama other than to show that a white trash Russian hillbilly can outfox a half breed muzzie with a childish intellect, matching his childish temper.

Made to look small by the pope’s visit. Made to look small by Putin’s visit. Maybe Obama might stop letting people in soon to solve his image problem?

Pretty sad when the leader of Russia likes America more than our President.

Pray America wakes

Every time Obama makes himself look stupid or cowardly, falls on his face, or gets belittled by a world leader he comes back to America and does something mean and nasty and dirty to Americans to compensate.

The way Putin looks at Obama in that photo - it’s almost like he’s saying “you expect me to shake that hand?”
