Obama cancels meeting with Putin amid Snowden tensions
Fox News ^ | August 7, 2013

Posted on 08/07/2013 6:20:39 AM PDT by don-o

n a rare diplomatic snub, President Obama is canceling plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow next month.

The decision reflects both U.S. anger over Russia's harboring of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden and growing frustration within the Obama administration over what it sees as Moscow's stubbornness on other key issues, including missile defense and human rights.

Obama will still attend the Group of 20 economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, but a top White House official said the president had no plans to hold one-on-one talks with Putin while there. Instead of visiting Putin in Moscow, the president will add a stop in Sweden to his early September travel itinerary.

There are primarily tools of the left, NOT the average American.

I am convinced that a big reason we have legalized child murder is that too many know it is a horrible thing, but can visualize the day when they really need to do it.

The line between good and evil runs through every human heart.

How do you say the ‘’N’’ word in Russian?

Putin and his friends are probably repeating it, safe in the knowledge that Russia is a free country where its citizens can indulge in schoolyard epithets without being convicted of hate crimes.

He’s such a little nancy. How did the Presidency devolve from the likes of a he-man like Washington to a limp wristed manboy like Reggie Love’s sprinkle catcher.

...what it sees as Moscow's stubbornness on other key issues, including missile defense and human rights...

"Human rights" wouldn't happen to include protecting children from sodomite propaganda, would it?

I'll bet the gay factor has more to do with this snub than Snowden. Russia’s just passed new laws on homosexuality and the leftists in NY protested just this past week. They say the boycott of Russian Vodka is global. hmmmm....
