Obama is hiding, talking climate change.
It might be a stretch to suggest he’s bing blackmailed by the Russians. It could be that the rest of the world is smarter than he gives them credit for, and understands that he is dishonest and incompetent (at best).
I don’t think the Russkies have to blackmail him, although that’s their M.O. I think 0bama is just a craven narcissistic coward. An empty suit. A puppet who thinks he’s the puppet master. Putin is humiliating 0bama for one simple reason.
Because he can.
Putin’s puppet
I thought it was bad graduating into JimmahLand, and it was, especially in farm country.
But we've got nothing on this generation. And besides, for us, along came Reagan and up, up and away we went!
This time, we got round two. "And if you thought the first was bad..."
Obama jets around the world treating himself like the Sun King on the taxpayer dime.
Well said, libstripper. Personally, I have suspected that the Snowden incident was by design. From my understanding, Snowden did vote for Zero, and Zero does have an obvious disdain for the US. It’s seems to me this is what Zero wants: A weakened, humiliated US in par (supposedly) with the rest of the world.
I would argue that Jimmy Carter’s turning point was the “malaise” speech of July 15, 1979, in which he stated that a “crisis of confidence” that strikes at “the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will” is manifest in “the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our nation.” Carter had spent a week at Camp David with his top aides hoping to come up with a barn burner of an address that would recharge his administration, but the somber and pessimistic speech that they finally came up with had the opposite effect.
He is not done and fallen until the media says he is. The low information voters follow the media narrative.

Well if “doing nothing right” is the criteria, then Obama hit it about 5 years ago
” just look to Moscow. “
I don’t buy conspiracy theories often, but that raises a very interesting point. If anyone knows Obamas secrets outside the US government, it would logically be the KGB, or a similar state-level intelligence network. Putin’s attitude certainly conveys a sense of absolute control and untouchability.
That point came in mid January 2009. Disaster then, disaster now.
Russia has asked that George Soros be extradicted. Trade?
Jimma Carter has to be the happiest exPOTUS in the world knowing how Barry Hussein Soetoro has arrived.
President Vladimir Putin confirmed on Tuesday a former U.S. spy agency contractor sought by the United States was in the transit area of a Moscow airport but ruled out handing him over to Washington, dismissing U.S. criticisms as “ravings and rubbish.”
In his first public comments since the fugitive flew in on Sunday, he appeared to make light of the affair around Edward Snowden, whose flight from U.S. authorities is becoming an increasing embarassment for President Barack Obama. Asked by a journalist about the affair, he smiled fleetingly.
“I myself would prefer not to deal with these issues. It's like giving a baby pig a haircut: there's a lot of squealing, but there's little wool,” he told a news conference in Finland.
His refusal to hand back Snowden risked deepening a rift with the United States that has also sucked in China and threatens relations between countries that may be essential in settling global conflicts including the Syrian war.
Putin said the 30-year-old American was in the transit area of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport and, not having gone through passport control, was free to leave.
“The sooner he chooses his final destination, the better it would be for us and for himself,” Putin said.
Snowden has applied for asylum in Ecuador but Quito has said it is still considering the application and the United States is trying to persuade the governments of countries where he might head to hand him over. His plans remain unclear.
“He has not crossed the state's border, and therefore does not need a visa. And any accusations against Russia (of aiding him) are ravings and rubbish,” Putin said in response to a question at a news conference during a visit to Finland.
Washington has gone to great lengths to try to ensure Snowden has nowhere to go to seek refuge. But Putin said Russia had no extradition treaty with the United States and suggested Moscow would expel Snowden only if he were a criminal.
“Thank God, Mr Snowden committed no crimes on the territory of the Russian Federation,” Putin said in the garden of a presidential residence, with Finnish President Sauli Niinisto beside him.
The turning point for President Reagan was March 30, 1981. I just watched “Saving Ronald Reagan” on the Military Channel. President Reagan thought that his near-run survival from the assassin’s bullet was God’s will. It supercharged his administration early on, and it was all uphill to greatness from there.
Zero thought he was doubling down with climate policy, but instead he just jumped the whale.
Just more proof that the fringe is on the left side of the spectra.
