President Barack Obama announced Friday afternoon that the White House will publicly release a summary of the legal authorities through which the National Security Agency conducts its controversial surveillance programs. ´Given the history of abuse by governments,´ he said, it is important to explain how such a program is managed, and - equally important - what it may not do. He described his working relationship with Vladimir Putin as ´candid´ and ´blunt,´ and seemed to dismiss concerns that the Russian president´s body language indicated a lack of willingness to work with the United States.

This is what bothers me. The press didn’t even blink and reported it like, “Golly-gee that there Obama is really, really smart.” None of them noticed that Obama’s comments are unworthy of the leader of the free world. In a real sense meaningless, offering no insight and displaying no perception. Commenting on Putin’s posture rather than addressing policy differences or conflicting principles and ideas. BO is a lightweight and Putin has his number. How shaming for our country. And our media is oblivious. The whole thing makes we want to slouch, too.
Impeachment File on Communist, Benghazi Coward B. Hussein Obama, formerly known as Barry Soetoro, currently a Legal Citizen of the Sovereign Nation of Indonesia.
It totally clear that intelligent people recognized immediately that Obama cancelled the summit with Putin because it would highlight Obama's wimpiness and man-child state.
So, the "brilliant" (not!) counter to this widespread recognition was for Obama to come out publicly and say something to help mitigate the downside of his recent running away from Putin. It wasn't effective, but it was a deliberate, planned ploy.
This is all so transparent ...
Exactly. Barry has a habit of these dump and run pressers before he heads off on vacation.
You know there’s something wrong when FReepers have the back of the a Russian leader over their own.
Putin has ´that kind of slouch, looking like the bored kid in the classroom,´ says Obama during press conference.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is the sort of thing that can get Americans living and travelling abroad disrespected, detained, and even killed.Obama is a man without confidence or an ounce of sense, an imbecile, a Village Idiot trying to manipulate men of real power.Obama has no power now internationally, he has squandered it and pissed it away, and is universally distrusted among US allies.
It's a no-contest.
Well said.
“Sometimes you eat the bear, sontimes the bear eats you.”
In Russia, bear ALWAYS eats you!
Keep pokin’ the bear, you dipsh!t!
PLEASE let this nightmare END!
No kidding. Putin basically pants him, stole his marbles, and then pissed on his rainbow.

Thanks, Candor7.
Karl Rove said of 0bama that he’s the guy lurking in the corner at cocktail parties, making snide comments about others. Rove said, “You ‘know’ this guy.”
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Obama has the kind of power that gets too dangerous.
God bless and protect America during these perilous times. Amen.
I bet Putin loved visiting at GWB's ranch in Crawford!
GWB loves giving nicknames to people.
I think he called Putin "Pooty Poot". All in good fun.
Putin recently called GWB when "W" was in hospital for something to do with his heart. I think he got out in a couple days after being hospitalized. Putin called to check in with "W";Obama did not.
Stay classy, Obama.
What an idiot....
Putin's socks respect him so much they would never sag down.
0bama has that kind of arrogance, looking like a dictator in a banana republic.
The way the world has been headed recently, we may look back at the GWB days as the days of peace and tranquility.
LOL.
That was a stark ( LOL) contrast.
You crack me up at times Fred.....!
