Vladimir Tells Mr. Flexible to Go Jump in a Lake

It seems like just yesterday that Barack Obama sent a message to Vladimir Putin, via outgoing President Dmitry Medvedev, that after the 2012 election he'd have "more flexibility."

When discussing Syria in two-hour talks, neither Putin nor Mr. Flexible would budge. But then again, Putin shouldn't have had to budge, because he wasn't the one who bragged about being flexible.

Then after Mr. Flexibility and Mr. Ex-KGB both put in a bid for the fitness suite at the resort hosting the G8 summit, neither wanted to give up rights to the space, nor did they want to work out together. Obama not wanting to work out with muscleman tough guy Vladimir Putin is understandable. Although Obama claims to be flexible, macho Putin could lift him over his head, spin him around, and snap him like a dry twig. So Obama was smart to avoid rousing the Russian president's testosterone in close quarters.

The dissension was over use of the gym; Obama's lapdogs had requested it first, so the Russians backed down. After boasting about flexibility, one would think that Barry would have graciously relinquished his spot in the gymnasium and, for diplomacy's sake, allowed the Russian president to use the facility. Sulky child that he is, Barack Obama did not give up his spot, and chose to stay indoors in an air-conditioned fitness room, working out with a personal trainer.

Meanwhile, Putin swam in a cold Northern Ireland lake near the Co Fermanagh's Lough Erne hotel. Although the water in Fermanagh is icy, let us not forget that while Obama dribbles around the hardwood pretending to be a baller in his mom jeans, Vladimir Putin swims in Siberian rivers.

I’m suffering some real cognative dissonance here, being a former cold war kid and now finding myself more often siding against our president and with an ex KGB agent.

I don’t get caught up on the ex-KGB thing.....back then they were the only game in town....Putin has many times disavowed Communism....he would have served the Tsar in the same capacity had they still been in power. He wants a strong Russia. I respect that...besides I’d rather have Russia controlling the Islamo-Fascists in Central Asia.

The bottom line is Obama and his gang of incompetent leftwing academics are a far, far greater threat to my country than Putin and the Russians are.

I never thought I’d be cheering Russia over the US but then I never thought our government would intentionally destroy the country.

Pooty has no respect for our boy president and he shouldn’t. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Pooty give Zero a wedgie at their next meeting.

I guess GAY MARRIAGE IN RUSSIA is off the agenda for now?

[txhurl]

I’m just insanely jealous the Russian people have a president who loves them compared to how POSHITUS feels about us.

Pooty Poot probably knows that he is dealing with a fraud who bamboozled the American people into voting for him, and he has no respect for him. Angela Merkel probably knows the same thing, hence the look of disgust on her face after his speech.

It reminds me of the Six-Day War in the Middle East (1967), when some Arab was overheard saying, “Why can’t we have a Dayan?”
