This admin is more upset that he would look weak. Not a care in the world about the killing of Christians by Isis though.

.... Well .... I'm guessing that when Obama tells Putin the reason he wanted to meet was to discuss LGBT issues .... he won't exactly come off looking like a great conquering hero ......

Will Obama Look Weak If He Meets With Putin? Putin will bend Obama over and hump his rear. Obama is nothing but a little b*tch P***y compared to Putin.

The “Community Organizer” IS weak and should be kept from Putin in order that the United States can be kept safe until we elect a grown up intelligent administration.
