The Reser brothers (pictured with Obama) are both class acts. Both are fine men and very hard working.

BTW the last US President to hold a Judo rank was Teddy Roosevelt.

And this is no Crazy Kim kind of thing where he’s supposed to be an expert at everything. Putin has been competing in Judo since he was a kid, and is a 6th dan master.

Umm, who is going to be crazy enough to throw Putin to the ground?

Sarah could pick him off from one of the windows in the White House.

Chuck Norris prolly has a great deal more respect for Putin, than for Obama.

Just sayin’.

I like Sarah, but her TV show showed that she COULDN’T.

Read up on Putin’s background.
He’s not a man to be messed with, and that impresses me.

You can and should respect your opponent on the martial arts mat, but Chuck would still kick his BUTT.

Oh, another ‘I like Sarah, but’. Her TV show showed that she could. The site on her dad’s rifle was off. When she got the one that was okay she did it with one shot. FYI.

Putin is KGB isn’t he? He’s been running around like a bull on steroids trying to show the world how macho he is. Overkill, pooter.
