In a recent interview with The Atlantic, US President Barack Obama expressed his thoughts on his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. According to Obama, Putin was "scrupulously polite, very frank" at their "very businesslike" meetings. "The truth is, actually, Putin, in all of our meetings, is scrupulously polite, very frank. Our meetings are very businesslike," Obama told The Atlantic. "He never keeps me waiting two hours like he does a bunch of these other folks," Obama said, Sputnik news agency reports.

Real power means you can get what you want without having to exert violence," Obama said. Interestingly, Obama stated that Kiev was Moscow's, rather than Washington's interests.

Real power means you can get what you want without having to exert violence," Obama said. Interestingly

From the guy who has unleashed as much violence to no useful end as anyone in the last 20 years.

“O” is in no position to call ANYONE ‘stupid’...and least of all Vlad.

What ever you think of Vlad, you have to admit he ain’t stupid.

Now, “O”, on the other hand.... :)

He is an idiot, but that statement happens to be right. You shouldn’t have to “exert violence” if you have a credible threat of overwhelming violence. Of course, the idiot doesn’t understand that point.

He didn't keep the people of Ukraine...or the passengers on MH17...waiting either.

Punctuality...you've gotta respect that in a Marxist psychopath.
