(Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Friday denied he has poor relations with Vladimir Putin after canceling their Moscow talks, but said the Russian president can sometimes appear "like a bored kid in the back of the classroom."
U.S.-Russian relations plunged to one of their lowest points since the Cold War this week after Russia granted temporary asylum to fugitive former U.S. spy contractor Edward Snowden. Obama retaliated by abruptly canceling a Moscow summit with Putin planned for early next month.
At a White House news conference on Friday, Obama insisted that he does not have bad personal relations with Putin. The two men had a testy meeting in June in Northern Ireland and from the photos of them at the time, it looked as if they would both rather have been somewhere else.
"I know the press likes to focus on body language, and he's got that kind of slouch, looking like the bored kid in the back of the classroom. But the truth is that when we're in conversations together, oftentimes it's very productive," Obama said.

.... correct. In two different ways.
One, our international image as a leader and a beacon for freedom is irrevocably destroyed.
Two, Obama and those who enabled him, and the people who ultimately control him, will never cede power again.
So says Øbozo the class clown.
Wow, thanks for posting that. Øbongo is at least partially correct - that looks pretty bored to me. But you are spot on as well about Øbongo. Must be another case of the black calling the pot kettle....lol
Did the TelePrompter break or something? He sounds like a derptard who went off script. Again...
I have no doubt that Putin knows the truth re the BC - and has had before he was elected.
Been praying he'll drop the dime - may not come direct from Russia - but funneled through another source.
If that Ain’t”The Pot Calling The Kettle BLACK”?
BoyBarrak is projecting. He is the bored kid in the back of the classroom, where the losers sit.
“Negritude” set back another 100 years. Period.
Sounds like he’s describing himself.
but the one on the far left wants to break that statue
Putin could probably pull the trigger on Obamas birth certificate...stupid to mess with him in such a childish way. He has resources zero has never even thought of yet. Not afraid of gays, or Muslims, ya think hes afraid of Obama?

Putin is probably the only one keeping us alive right now as far as national security is concerned..
hes the only one passing us good intelligence to save our butts..
probably because he feels sorry for us..
hopefully he will continue to feel sorry for us due to our being stuck with that-guy-in-my-White-House TM until at least 2017..
Thank you Mr Putin..
If we are ever having another real election and the grown ups win, we need to slash foreign aid by a lot and focus on rebuilding our own country. We can still help allies like Israel, Taiwan, South Korea (assuming they still want to be our allies) but Europe is big enough to take care of itself.
I cannot believe that Obama said this. What is wrong with him. Unless I am mistaken, President Bush after being berated by Hugo Chavez said nothing and ignored it like a President should. How could he say something like that in public no less. What he says to Michelle is not our business, but what he says in public is our business.
Is this black ass kidding? He is the worst non president this Country has ever had. Everything is fun time and actually he is ignorant.
” said the Russian president can sometimes appear “like a bored kid in the back of the classroom.”
Yeh Barry the kid that used to beat you up and take your lunch money everyday in grade school. :-)
I love that. Gave me quite a chuckle.
