0bama is acting like an adolescent girl with a grudge against Putin. She didn’t get her way with him, so she’s getting back at him.

Putin understands fully Obama’s lack of spine and paper tiger qualities.

Well, they’ve got until January of 2017 to do what they’re gonna do. It’s about time to run tests of that strategy.
