Putin Punks Obama
Although KGB style secrecy and the Kremlin’s careful manipulation of his image make him difficult to read, watching the recent body language between Putin and Obama makes it is clear for all to see that Putin has little respect for Obama.
Whether Putin or any other Soviet/Russian leader likes you or not is irrelevant to a successful foreign policy. Ronald Reagan understood that. George W. Bush understood that. Mikhail Gorbachev respected Ronald Reagan and grew to like him. Putin never openly displayed affection for Bush in the way Gorbachev did for Reagan, but Russia’s relative inaction during Bush’s presidency indicated that Putin respected him. It seems clear that Putin saw, as a result of Bush’s actions, that Bush was ready and willing to promote U.S. interests and power abroad. In Obama, Putin sees the inverse. Putin does not see a partner in Obama. He does not see an adversary in Obama. In Obama, Putin sees a tool, a weakling who can be punked at will. Russia’s military deployment to Syria reinforces that conclusion.
Obama’s insistence on making the world like him the cornerstone of his foreign policy is but one of a multitude of reasons why removing him in November is vital to American interests.

+8Russians have been duping American liberals for over a century now. They call them Potempkin Progressives.
The world doesn't respect him.............let's hope he doesn't get four more years to
give away our world respect and position of leader.
And that quote is one of them.
"Obama’s insistence on making the world like him the cornerstone of his foreign policy" along with the stupidity of making someone who doesn't like him, Secretary of State hasn't worked out too well, has it?
her agreeing with 0bama policies, I keep my sanity by thinking, "if she weren't there
his policies might be even worse." She can't disagree with him in public, but she
can exercise some of that behind closed doors. I know when the 'White House
Insider' wrote about the killing of UBS, it was Hillary, Gates, Panetta and Daley
who gave the OK for the mission.......0bama was paralyzed by chief advisor
Valerie mommy teat Jarrett telling him it the mission failed, it would be bad
for his reelection bid..................

His chum buddies left that up to those 'rich white people' (a quote from his book).
HORSECRAP.
In the real world - pussyfooting around is just that... dillying... dallying... un-equivocation, nothing but apologist fools. NOBODY respects that. Obama gave away Europe with his concessions to Russia - getting NOTHING in return but Russia's disdain.
Laud the Arab Spring and you get Muslim Brotherhood. They hate us. GET THAT? THEY HATE US.
Respecting individuals is one thing - globally? You better carry a big friggin' stick. Not a friggin' flower, peace sign or chanting 'love will find a way'.
Obama has horrible foreign policy, and this, among many many MANY other things, makes it imperative that America votes him out in November.
