Obama is basically calling Putin gay.

Obama is scared.

The last time leaders wanted toughness as domestic consumption, they lashed out A WORLD WAR.

Obama is a fool

It's Barry's schtick to look like a straight guy.

"We do not have a ban on non-traditional sexual relationships," said Putin in comments reported by Russian agencies. "We have a ban on the propaganda of homosexuality and paedophilia. I want to underline this. Propaganda among children. These are absolutely different things – a ban on something or a ban on the propaganda of that thing."

The left wants to paint Putin as an extremest on this issue. He's not - he's a live and let live type. BUT he doesn't want children indoctrinated. Russians understand 'indoctrination' better than most - having lived under that crap for decades with Lenin, Stalin, et al...

Obama is using Putin as a foil to energize the gay rights crowd for the 2014 mid term election. Obama realizes that if the Democrats suffer severe enough losses, not only will Obamacare be in jeopardy, but Obama’s legacy and the quality of his post-Presidency career will also be much diminished.

No downside there!

>> Also, don´t forget when BHO was first elected, he made a personal trip to sell the IOC into having Chicago host the games and was rejected...

True, that.

I loved the joke that was circulating at the time:

Q: What’s the difference between Obama and Hitler?
A: Hitler actually SUCCEEDED in getting the Olympics for Germany in ‘36.

Too much Oxycontin or a Psychotherapeutic drug, obviously.

Wrong, they were awarded before Hitler took power....Hitler was not a fan, but reluctantly went along with it.

Did you know that Tokyo was scheduled for the 1940 Games, but because of the war, they were cancelled.

No, I confess I didn’t know that. Interesting.

Having a tough guy schtick is a lot better than having a girly-man one.

Tokyo was scheduled for the 1940 Summer Olympics. Sapporo, Japan, was scheduled for the 1940 Winter Olympics. Neither one worked out.

I guess back then the same country got both the Winter and Summer Games, because the 36 Winter Olympics were also held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

Putin is a thug. But am I the only one enjoys the idea of putting Putin and Barry in a room together and watching what happens if Barry accuses Putin of “tough guy schtick”?

I’m not sure Putin could take the Wookie, but Barry? Bwahahahaha!!!!!

Russians and many Americans like Putin’s shtick. We don’t like 0bammas pro gay shtick. It’s repulsive while Putin’s public persona is good to excellent. Like petting the Persian leopard cub yesterday.

Totally apart from what I think of Putins policies
