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.

I propose a trade. They give us Snowden, we give them George Soros.

I’d call that fair.

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!!!

Can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

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.

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.

Obama is singlehandedly bringing back the Cold War.

Thanks, Bammie, we needed that (slapping our cheeks).

(I knew the word "Snowden" had an ominious ring to it).

Brrrr........

I used to think that Bill Clinton was the luckiest politician ever chosen by fate, but now I think the honor goes to Vladamir Putin.

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.
