Obama cancels meeting with Putin amid Snowden tensions
Fox News ^ | August 7, 2013

Posted on 08/07/2013 6:20:39 AM PDT by don-o

n a rare diplomatic snub, President Obama is canceling plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow next month.

The decision reflects both U.S. anger over Russia's harboring of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden and growing frustration within the Obama administration over what it sees as Moscow's stubbornness on other key issues, including missile defense and human rights.

Obama will still attend the Group of 20 economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, but a top White House official said the president had no plans to hold one-on-one talks with Putin while there. Instead of visiting Putin in Moscow, the president will add a stop in Sweden to his early September travel itinerary.

OMG. No wonder our country is so effed up. Look what’s running it. Comparing the skinny, effeminate, purple-lipped wuss with TestoRuski-Man is hilarious.

Lots’a Obama insults. Well deserved. But, why is no one mentioning the crimes Snowden revealed? Where is the shame that an American hero has to go to RUSSIA and the establishment of BOTH parties persecute him?

I’m old fashioned. I remember when America was the good guys.

Egypt under Morsi and Saudi Arabia lock up homosexuals for the crime of being gay.

0bama is taking them on?

...and all of this aid to the Free Syrian Army fighting against Assad...they execute homosexuals for being gay.

Didnt 0bama just give those guys anti-aircraft missiles?!

This is nothing but kubuki theater as a fig leaf for collaboration in furthering their shared goal of international socialism. A lot can be hidden behind a foreground hissy fight. Besides, the Wan will enjoy putting out for Putin.

Being a Christian first and an American second, I have never totally bought into the “American exceptionalism”. Legalized murder of the unborn is a major factor in that.

It’s just breath taking to see Russia moving toward righteousness as America moves in the opposite direction.

Totally agree. Since the 1960's, the concept of "American exceptionalism" has had no foundation. Now it's completely hollow.

The common belief among conervatives (see Beck and Rush) that the notion of natural rights began with the Founders, is similar.

Obama just proving the obvious: That he’s a half-a-sissy.

He doesn’t do any pressers anymore either.
He just goes on shows like “The View” that only fairy’s and bitter liberal womyn watch.

I hope I live long enough to hock a lunger on his headstone.

Reagan would be chewing glass and kicking ass the second he stepped off of AF1

And another thing: The anti-gay policies (wise, in my opinion) aren’t just Putin. I believe the votes in their legislature were either unanimous, or pretty close to it.

True. Those policies are Russia asserting itself as something different from the West.

This must be the “resetting of the button” with Russia, that Obama/Hillary promised ....

It is hilarious that the Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms cannot tell the simple truth - - Ubama is snubbing Putin not because of Snowden but because of Putin’s treatment of the faggot community. I heard one top-of-the-hour radio newscast today casually mention the snub was due in part to a “human rights” issue, lol.

Of course, the scumbag Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms won’t even report the truth about the NSA’s domestic surveillance program, which has more to do with the Secret Service tracking threats against Ubama than anything else. Ubama is the most hated president in history, hands down, no contest.

Yeah, the MSM must have received their talking points because they are all using the same wordage: “Snub”

If GWB did this, they would be wailing about Bush’s lack of leadership, how un-Presidential he is, etc...

BO is just a chicken-shit punk.

How I long for the days when we had a real President that wouldn’t cater to punks like Putin or run away from AQ like a little bitch.

By the looks of it, Michelle is the “Top” and Barack is the “Bottom” in their relationship.

I bet hers is bigger than his.

And just for good measure, Obama blocked Putin from being his FaceBook friend.
