Schumer calls Putin a 'school-yard bully'
Politico ^ | August 4, 2013 | Scott Wong

Russian President Vladimir Putin is nothing more than a “school-yard bully” and President Barack Obama should cancel their meeting in Moscow next month, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D.N.Y.) said Sunday.

Last week, Putin granted National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden temporary political asylum in Russia, prompting outrage from many U.S. officials, including Schumer.

“The relationship between the United States and Russia is more poisonous than any time since the Cold War because of all of this,” Schumer said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.”

“Putin’s behaving like a school-yard bully,” he added. “Unless you stand up to that bully, they ask for more and more and more. Always going out of his way, Mr. Putin is, to poke us in the eye with Iran and Syria, now with Snowden.

Boo hoo, baby.

Putin's got BO's number.

Putin sees the scandals which already make BO weak and takes the opportunity to pile on by giving Snowden a one year sanctuary.

Putin smelled blood so he piled in, too.

I kinda' see Putin's point. Obama thinks a lot of himself and he's pretty pushy himself. Maybe, internationally, people want to take him down a notch or two.

No, I mean panties.

Depends implies old and infirm, an age issue. Panties says he is a pussy, a character issue. Which is more accurate.

Maybe Obama could sic the IRS on Russia and Putin and have him audited! I bet Putin knows what happened in Bengahzi! If Obama says a word it will become public knowledge. Putin has Obama by the short hairs so nothing will be done.

"Shumer wouldn’t dare say that to Vlad’s face. Putin looks (and acts) like the sort of guy who’s killed people with his bare hands."

Shumer is kind of like 'Eddie Haskell' from "Leave it to Beaver".

Very snarky.

"President Barack Obama should cancel their meeting in Moscow next month, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D.N.Y.) said Sunday."

For once I agree with "Chuck E. Cheese" Schumer. They won't get anything accomplished at the meeting, and what better way for Obama to prove to the world that he's just a thin-skinned, petulant dweeb who's so in so far over his head that BP would need to drill a well so he can see daylight?

Shumer must have been something else through high school. I bet even the homos and the girls picked on him. He epitomizes the “human loser” we all know...and love.

I was just thinking that you could put Schumer in the ring with a pair of loaded .45’s, already cocked, and Putin would still kick his @$$, bare handed.

Schumer has no power over Putin....which REALLY angers the hack senator from New York.

“Schumer would know best. I’m sure that he lost a lot of lunch money to boys like Putin, and if he met him, Schumer would probably hand over his lunch money today.”

The above contains a minor error which I suggest fixing as follows:
“Schumer would know best. I’m sure that he lost a lot of lunch money to boys like Putin, and if he met him, Schumer would probably hand over all our money today, and our descendant’s money as well.”

0bama and Schumer are greater threats to the liberties of Americans than Putin will ever be. Good luck to Vlad. As they say, the enemy of my enemy...

Schumer calls Putin a 'school-yard bully'

In a related story, Putin calls Schumer a stupid schmuck.

I’ll bet NY has anti-bullying laws.

That will take care of Putin.

“Russian President Vladimir Putin is nothing more than a “school-yard bully” and President Barack Obama should cancel their meeting in Moscow next month, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D.N.Y.) said Sunday.”

Funny, as that’s how I’ve always thought of Schumer. Loud, belligerent, and willing to push around weaker folks (ask an airline attendant or two that’s had to deal with Shmuck.)
