Wow, I guess they weren’t that into him. Obama can’t even find boyfriends anymore. Time for the kleenex and a photo of Reggie Love?

If Bush (or any Republican did this), it would be taken as an intentional snub or slight.

Putin offered to show them his Super Bowl ring if they’d see him instead.

Interesting. Whoever these ‘activists’ were, they must have figured it would be pointless.

I think this is what happened - civil rights leaders living in Russia had a choice: meet with Obama and incur the wrath of Putin, or stay away and be happy. I'd choose “happy” in this case.

Human rights activists don’t want to meet with (1) a war-monger who (2) decided without any court to guide him that Snowden is a traitor who (3) wants to exploit their homosexuality for the sake of his ego. Go figure.

These were the LGBT activists....RADICAL GAYS that Obama was going to meet with and BELIEVE me, it was the White House that told them to stay away now!!!

Obama is in such deep doo-doo that he has cancelled a fundraiser AND this GAY ACTIVISTS meeting!!!

This meeting with the GAYS was a POKE in the eye to Putin and ALL the RUSSIANS!!

Give me a break, what comes AFTER Assad, the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Queda is WAY WORSE than ASSAD.

Assad has kept the peace with Israel AND he has protected CHRISTIANS which the "rebels" are now KILLING!!

He also doesn’t have the tailwind of the domestic media helping him to push his agenda overseas. Here, back on national soil, the liberal media propaganda machine works overtime for him. They are dedicated to do his bidding.
