President Obama had better think twice about raising the issue of Philippine extra-judicial killings, warned the country's confrontational leader on Monday.
The US president and his Philippines counterpart, Rodrigo Duterte, were set to meet in Laos this week, where Obama is attending a meeting of Southeast Asian leaders. White House officials previously said Obama would confront the Philippines President about his country's handling of drug dealers, including extra-judicial killings, or government executions without the benefit of judicial proceedings or due process.
But the Filipino leader did not take kindly to that notion.
"Who does he think he is? I am no American puppet. I am the president of a sovereign country and I am not answerable to anyone except the Filipino people," Duterte scoffed in a speech Monday. "Son of a b****, I will swear at you."(continued)

Uh oh. Hope he can trust his secret service protection 100%.
Bet Obama backs out of the meeting.
He’s afraid of Duarte because he says mean things.
Nobody respects Obama.
Did you hear what Duarte called Obama?
“Son of a Wh*re! Stay out of our business!”. I kid you not.
I’ll bet you that made Obama put the golf clubs away for a minute.
David Cameron is a recent example of
an American Puppet. Not all the time, but quite often, as during the Mandela Memorial, when both men were taking selfies with the Blonde leader of Denmark, like a bunch of high schoolers at a pep rally.
It's not like he's dissing MY president.
Obama said he had asked the brilliant Susan Rice and his team to find out if “constructive, productive conversations” were possible. “Obviously the Filipino people are some of our closest friends and allies and the Philippines is a treaty ally of ours. But I always want to make sure that if I’m having a meeting that it’s actually productive and we’re getting something done,” he told reporters in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou.
Translation from the political CYA Bafflegab: Obama is scared silly he's gonna get another public ass-kicking like he did in China.
The fearless Philippino guy already called our president "the son of a whore".....IOw, a bastard.
I can think of enemies of America like crips, bloods, ms 13 and a plethora of known terror sympathizer that the cops/Feds need to go in guns blazing like we did with Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson, Bonny and Clyde ......who just never made it to court. Boo hoo.
I can’t remember any president of the US being so openly insulted by world leaders. Obama commands zero respect.
“I am the president of a sovereign country and I am not answerable to anyone except the Filipino people”
Statements like that confuse obama because obama doesn’t think he is answerable to anyone.
The world not only laughs at Obama, they laugh us for making a fool like him our President.
Prince of Fools
The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.

He probably thinks Duerte is a RACIST!
If Obama had any balls, he would cancel all US aid to the Philippines. In 2012 The U.S. Government gave a total of $197,036,510 to Philippines. We seem to keep pledging all sorts of millions for “military” aid. Cancel it all.
$197 million is about the cost of one airplane.
D@mn straight we need those dope dealers.
Now that right there (accountability) is a concept completely foreign to Bath House.
I’m waiting to see how this new president deals with the Muslim problem in the Phillipines.
This guy is starting to grow on me. :-)
