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.

I propose a trade. They give us Snowden, we give them George Soros.
I’d call that fair.
“Did I say it was $71 million to hitch a ride to the ISS? I meant One Beeeeeeeeeellion Dollars!” - Vlad
Putin’s response will be one big laugh off!!! Putin knows Obama is a weak sister, moron, buffoon, “Lame Duck” useless and failed POTUS!!! Can you imagine this idiot, Obama goes on a late night “entertainment” show to spout serious matters of state, security and economic policy. Not a word of truth nor common sense was spoken by Obama, the Satan!!! This USA gets sadder every day this incompetent, nutcase, ego-maniac, Obama remains in office!!! As for Putin...he could care less about Obama. The entire world knows Obama is naught but “cesspool” material. No one with half a brain listens to anything Obama mutters!!!
maybe Johnny Weir can skate for the Saudis

Smart Power?
$71 million to go to the ISS.... One BEELLION for ride home
Actually, you can. The past two presidential elections and the daily msm coverage proves that it can be done. The disgusting thing is watching people consume it.
Obama is no match for Putin - not even close
“What a celebritard.”
Stealing! That is PERFECT! :)
Putin can point to the fact that Soros is a wanted man in Russia but has been given refuge in/by the USA government. Soros for Snowden??
I wonder if Putin will lose any sleep over that one.
I guess Vlady is not waiting for more concessions from our dummy in chief now.
They called GWB a Cowboy and ended up giving us a Gay Cowboy instead.
LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama CAN’T meet Putin in Moscow—they arrest gays on sight now, right?
Thanks, Bammie, we needed that (slapping our cheeks).
(I knew the word "Snowden" had an ominious ring to it).
Brrrr........

They quit being the Soviet Union when marxism killed them and ol' Vlad is in charge as they are reborn as Christian Russia. Never saw that coming.
We, otoh, have embraced that marxism and done everything possible to turn away from freedom, liberty and our judeochristian foundations in favor of a totalitarian state.
That, I did see coming. We now mock and ignore the warnings we used to heed and fear and voted to be lead by someone the world will now or soon will mock and ignore.
And, in our nation's abdication, Vlad Putin will become the world's defacto leader. Luckiest politician chosen by fate. Did not see that coming. I should play more chess.
