Carly Fiorina stepped onto the Tonight Show set Monday, and with the exception an endearing karaoke session about her dogs, it was all business, a surprising choice given the setting of a late-night show. Fiorina showed some foreign policy chops while discussing how she would handle Russian President Vladimir Putin. But should she become POTUS, the truth is it won't be the first time Fiorina and Putin have met.
During her sit-down, Fiorina said she briefly encountered the stone-faced Russian leader for 45 minutes in Beijing while both were waiting to present at an economic conference. According to The Daily Beast, that chance meeting was at the 2001 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference, where Fiorina took the stage just before Putin was set to address the summit's participants. It was a position she found fateful given her speech was titled "A World of Change" and made note of it early on.
One of the things they teach in business school is that positioning is crucial. How you position yourself in relation to your competitors can mean the difference between success and failure. Applying this principle to today's program, I keep wondering how it is that I got positioned to speak in the slot before the President of the Russian Federation — on the subject of change, no less. Hewlett-Packard has been at the center of a lot of change in our 62-year history. But President Putin was elected president in the first democratic transition in Russia in 1,000 years. Talk about giving new meaning to the word "invent."
I’ve heard her say in other situations that she has met Putin. She makes it sound like they were the best of pals. Almost as if he was consulting with her.
Carly loved her some John McCain. There is only one way to spell that — GOPe.
“The more I get to know President Putin the more I get to see his heart and soul ...the more I know we can work together in a positive way”. -George W. Bush
How well does she know her best bud Bibi? She’s always bragging on that theme.
“She Once Spoke Admiringly Of The Russian Leader”
What did she say?
That’s a statement of fact, not admiration.
The question has neither been asked nor answered. Did she help put Putin on his pedestal?
