And Putin uses this information to bend that famous ‘arc of history’ in his direction.

Obama says he is against ISIS

His spirit is weak and so is his flesh.

Obama is finding out that the race stuff has no effect on the Russians, whatsoever.

Correct!
They dislike him be cause he is weak.
They do not care what about his color.

Actually when it comes to Obama and ISIS there is another principle at work that involves Bids of a Feather.

ISIS is Sunni.
Obama is Sunni.
Birds, Feathers.

"black Frank Sinatra"

??? Not close by any measure.
That may be why, that bit of BS fell off the screen.

Agree! That particular subject is more interesting to him than anything I listed...except himself.

It’s not cool. It’s detachment and self-absorption

I always recall his fear of any discussions with John Lott at U of C.
The cool guys want their ideas 'out there', they are prepared to defend against all comers.

I heard an interview with John Lott, he said one of his friends is a communist and an excellent cook, they have a nice meal and interesting discussions.

This is patently untrue! Putin sees Obama's weakness as weakness.

I hope I get your name right?
Yes of course, a man such as yourself would view 0bama as slime. For that is what he is.

Muslims also see Obama’s weakness. And that’s even more dangerous to the US than Putin seeing it. I don’t think Putin will knock down towers because Obama is weak.

John Lott is quite prolific, the interview I recall was around the ‘08 election.

This one is close.
Former University of Chicago researcher and Gun Rights activist John Lott describes his encounters with part-time lecturer Barack Obama.

John Lott: And that is when he made the statement about believe that people shouldn’t be able to own guns, I said, “Well, maybe we can get together for lunch and we can talk about it.”
John Lott: And because I knew he was also supportive of the Chicago suit against the gun makers.
John Lott: He just grimaced and turned around and walked away and that was the end of the conversation. And that’s the way many conversations went that I had with him and I believe just in general he really disliked talking to people that he regarded as conservatives.
Dave Bose: He didn’t even say goodbye? He just grimaced and turned around?
John Lott: Right.
Dave Bose: Or, did he say no thanks?
John Lott: No, he just turned around and walked away.
Dave Bose: Not even the usually polite, “Yeah, we’ll do that sometime?”
John Lott: No. I mean, and there were cases in later years where I would reach out to shake his hand and he would just refuse my hand.

“Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. That’s why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war.”

I'm sure your remark wasn't directed at me, the messenger.
