Putin taunts Obama ahead of G-20 summit
NY Post ^ | 9/4/13 | Andy Soltis

Posted on 09/05/2013 5:58:01 AM PDT by jimbo123

Vladimir Putin is making a sport of lashing out at President Obama, again taunting him about the Edward Snowden fiasco while accusing his administration of lying about Syria — on the eve of what will be a contentious showdown in St. Petersburg.

The Russian president ridiculed the Obama administration’s claim that Syrian rebels are not dominated by al Qaeda-linked terrorists.

“They lie beautifully, of course,” Putin said in a wide-ranging interview just before he and Obama meet face to face at the G-20 summit.

He called Secretary of State John Kerry’s testimony about the rebels before a Senate committee on Tuesday “unpleasant and surprising for me.”

“We proceed from the assumption that they are decent people,” Putin said. “But he is lying and knows he is lying. It’s sad.”

Of course Putin doesn't give of "rat's arse" about America -- everyone knows that. He's just enjoying -- relishing actually -- showing his disdain and lack of respect to obama (on both a personal as well as political level) on the world stage.

I think Putin would not so openly disrespect the president of the United States if the president acted in a way that commanded respect rather than in a way that demanded attention.

Do I understand correctly that he is NOT going to meet with Putin at this summit?

If that’s the case, then barry is very afraid of this man.

The Soviet Union is dead......Today’s Russia is not the Soviet Union...there is no reason for us to be enemies with Russia.

Rather, we need to come together to fight our common threat, Islam.

So you stand behind one enemy of this country over another? I’m embarrassed to call you a fellow countryman.

What would you have called a similar person during the Bush Administration?

The American public voted for this administration, in large part due to the apathy of some of you “patriots” had to the alternative. It is what it is now. But I will NEVER encourage an adversary of MY country no matter how unpopular OUR leader is.

Once again, Sunshine Patriot, get your farking priorities straight.

Who tried to warn us about the Tsarnaevs?

Is that the act of an “enemy”?

No one respects Obama, not even his “wife” and children.

I didn't, and I have no respect for him.

President Obama arrived in Russia today to find the already failing relations with his host in even worse condition. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threat to provide his Syrian allies with a missile shield in the event of U.S. airstrikes further complicates Obama’s flagging effort to win international support for an attack on Damascus. As the Guardian reports, Putin’s warning that an attack without UN backing would provoke military aid from Russia may drive away the handful of international partners for Obama’s proposed attack.

Once again, I am totally comfortable with my priorities as they are.
If you choose to judge, and name call, so be it.
You certainly have that right - at least for now.

He’s not mine, either. He’s a blight upon this country.

This whole Democrat war push reminds me of the “Freedonia’s Going to war” Number in the old Marx Brother’s Movie ‘Duck Soup’ -— I don’t like the whole feel of this—its a bit like his rush to pass Obamacare. We are going to get nothing but hurt over this. What if Putin sends Migs to Syria—with Russian pilots? What if a single Russian sub (one of the newer good ones) to shadow our ships. When the rockets get fired they fire off a spread of torpedos? Or a flood of missles from the cruiser Moscow they have off Syria? Are we ready for a naval war—even a limited one? Will England help or sit on their hands? What will France do? Turkey? Etc... Without UN approval we will be doing an act of war—and Russia can defend their ally as they see fit.

Obama is not my president. He doesn’t represent my America. He represents the depraved cesspool that constitutes Homo-America, which seeks the destruction of everything in the country that I value.

Those are my enemies. Not Putin.

I hope Putin grabs Obama by the collar and slaps the snot out of him.

I thought Obama moved on abruptly but after looking at others being greeted some of them are just as brief. Apologies for my preconceived notion.
