On November 2, speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in New York, President Barack Obama poked fun at the Republicans, joking that if they cannot handle CNBC moderators how could they possibly handle Russia’s Vladimir Putin?

“Every one of these candidates says, ‘Obama’s weak, Putin’s kicking sand in his face. When I talk to Putin, he’s gonna straighten out.’ …and then it turns out they can’t handle a bunch of CNBC moderators!” Mr. Obama said.

“I mean, let me tell you: if you can’t handle those guys,” he continued, laughing, “I don’t think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you.”

While Mr. Obama had his fun, he neglected to mention more serious matters—the Russian plane crash over the Sinai peninsula on October 31 that took the lives of all 224 passengers on board.

The current American administration will go down in history as one of the most weak and unprofessional with no affinity for etiquette and good manners.

This guy is so out of touch with reality. I thought our guys and gal handled the moderators just fine. Obama is the guy who in vindictive and can’t handle the press esp conservative one.

[Twinkie]

Ha! These smart-aleck remarks from a character who, for the
most part, got questions such as, “Mr. Obama, what IS your
favorite food?” from a mostly Democrat Media prior to
both elections.

The look on his face! Priceless!!!!

Imagine the deficit if we had normal 2% interest rates.

Obama lives in a glass house. Putin's spanking him like a little child.

[dforest]

That is a classic funny.

[Know et al]

The man is a pathological, mendacious, immoral, sinister, Machiavellian megalomaniac misanthrope. and those are his good sides.

Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel. LOL

Michelle is even lower than me, Sparky.

Interesting, after the queen DID pickup her glass for the toast (after the music finished ?) she did NOT drink from it “she did NOT drink with Obola” but merely raised it towards both sides of the table. And then set it back down.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

In a recent war game—The 5th Fleet was matched up against Spain—and they won! Spain! How would we fare against Germany? Poland? dare I say it Russia? If Putin comes for us he will not come alone—he will have an Axis of Evil behind him—China, North Korea, Iran, Sudan, maybe Cuba and others. Weakness breeds adventurism on the part of our enemies.

[laplata]

Yep.

In the end, his advisors convinced him he should but it took 5 days.

And it took 60 minutes to light up our White House with the rainbow colors of God Almighty after the supreme court decision of homo marriage.

224 dead Russians = 224 white people dead. Why should Obama care? At that point it wasn’t clear if it might be a terrorist action so he couldn’t praise ISIS for striking a blow against white privilege.

[Safetgiver]

No reply, Sparky?
