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....Those are sooooo funny. Thanks for posting.
To: don-o
So far, winner: Putin.
Reasons: His political stock (and respect) just went up in the world. You folks may not have heard, but during his African trip, a few of the leaders over there refused to meet with him too, it just wasn’t reported too much in the news.
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.

Nice work, but WADR, a better pick of Obie against Putin's martial arts take down would be Obie's little fairy dance while watching a martial arts take down.
just a suggestion...

I think when the phone call comes in at 3AM it goes to Valerie Jarrett and Putin is onto women like her
His country’s history is replete with people like Valerie Jarrett

Wow! I am sure this is going to scare the living daylights out of Putin.
NOT!
Putin is probably relieved he does not have to sit around and listen to the narcissist pansy go on and on about himself.
George Bush knew how to deal with Putin.
And Putin knew it and respected it.

Carney will probably try and sell this as a cost cutting measure. No daily WH briefing (aka The Zombie Hour) today. But, Obama is speaking to Marines at Pendleton this afternoon
