Masterfully played by Putin. Obama couldn’t have looked more inept if he’d tried. The freaking RUSSIAN president makes the US president look like a kid running for student council in 4th grade.
Putin played Obama like a cheap fiddle. I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama decides to drop bombs anyway just to save what little face he has left.
I predict he’ll spin this tonight as he—Obama—having “organized the international community” to avoid war.
Take a bow, fellow Americans. We’re the comic relief to serious politicians around the globe.
Don’t forget Obummer tonight will blame the Republicans.
“I could not get the Republicans to help with this thorny issue, so I had to turn to Vladimir Putin...”
Obama may claim that he was intentionally employing the same strategy used by Riggs (played by Mel Gibson) in the Lethal Weapon movies.
