Before leaving for home after the Group of 20 summit, President Barack Obama sat down with Russian civil society activists on Friday evening to assure them that he would keep pressing Moscow to respect human rights, some of the activists said. But Obama also explained to them why this wasn't always possible.
The meeting was held several hours after two dozen of gay activists rallied in St. Petersburg to protest Russia's new law banning gay propaganda, which prompted some activists to call for the boycott of the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
Igor Kochetkov, the head of LGBT Network, who took part in the protest and also attended the meeting with Obama, said the activists pushed him to be more outspoken in his criticism of the rights situation in Russia.

Well after all, aren’t they the center of the universe?/sarc
When people are malignant narcissists, they will think their wants are more important than WWIII.
Unwilling to follow the Constitution domestically; why would anyone expect him to recognize the sovereign rights of other nations--or even what any student of human civilization, would consider the normal protocols in dealing with other peoples?
In failing to understand what he represented, from the start, we have unleashed something--the Obama "Presidency"--which will cause us problems everywhere we have dealings, across the earth.
The problem is Americans who will not even try to understand our own cultural heritage, much less respect it. In allowing those who would apologize for America to take over our Federal Government, we have unleashed the forces of ultimate betrayal.
This man--from his own words--was a committed enemy from the start.

The White House photographer Pete Souza knows all about the special relationship between Obama and Reggie Love.
It’s all for his various pressure groups back home in the USA. And I guess he gets a bit of savior-of-the-world ego strokes out of it too.
This worms word is about as good as dirt.
The most effective thing we can do is to laugh at him. He hates when people do that.
-—Quickie?”-—With a queer named Igor? You made me snort my coffee.
The homosexuals in Middle Eastern countries only make new when they try to extort their masters. The rest of them take it like a man.
No straight man spends a bunch of time promoting gay causes.
No straight man would. Not a minute, not a second.
Exactly! Straight men don’t constantly think about GAY sex.
Yeah, whatever happened to the USA not “forcing its values” on other nations? Isn’t that what they always said about Boooosh?
yeah this is really going to show Putin how big a man he is...
ewwwww, did he go to the bathhouses...while Putin slams heads in Judo?
I’d like to see Putin tell him where he can go as far as kissing the ass of sodomites.
WE know that, but everyone else, meh. LOL
Obama is, has been and will always be a Phony.
the world is on the brink and obama pushes the “lean forward” agenda?
What do you call that particolored thing around his head -- A "gaylo"?
Sorry, FRiend, but I don't think we're that lucky. I think it's way, wayyy worse than that. As per the Rush thread (in which Rush adverts us to Conrad Black and gen-yew-wine Noo Yawk intellectual Norman Podhoretz coming to the conclusion that Obama is doing all this stuff on purpose), I think Obama's misfeasance is in fact malfeasance, that it's deliberate.
Scalds-like-fire bump for the right answer. Thanx, FRiend.
Bump.
Is Souza .... er, um ..... still around?
