Putin greets Obama with Syria threat
FoxNews.com ^ | 09/05/2013 | Chris Stirewalt

President Obama arrived in Russia today to find the already failing relations with his host in even worse condition. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threat to provide his Syrian allies with a missile shield in the event of U.S. airstrikes further complicates Obama’s flagging effort to win international support for an attack on Damascus. As the Guardian reports, Putin’s warning that an attack without UN backing would provoke military aid from Russia may drive away the handful of international partners for Obama’s proposed attack.

They infest FR.

Really reduce the level of conversation.

Are usually found calling Obama cute names: Obambi, etc.

Also go on and on and on about their grandchildren and what a good president Eisenhower was.

I think Putin genuinely despises Obama.

But that doesn’t mean he won’t use Obama and take advantage of him at every opportunity.

Forget that he’s a Muslim and a Marxist for a moment. This is what you get when you allow a complete incompetent to assume the Presidency of the United States.

Ostumbles is like a recalcitrant child who wants his way no matter what. Note the pic of him on Drudge yesterday with his foot on the Resolute desk. Its just a way of acting out like the pics of him giving the finger and pretending to be rubbing his temple. He’s still a member of the Choom Gang and has the emotional maturity of a 16 year old only now he’s a real danger to us all.

Maybe the Russians will arrest him as a “war Criminal” and turn him over to the Hauge war courts.

Putin has a Love/Hate relationship with Obama.

He LOVES the fact that he has such an incompetent imbecile as his primary opponent in the world.

He HATES wishy washy girly men.

We’re all on the same team, brother...

Elderly kooky types, young firebrands, weathered warriors, seasoned citizens, radical republicans, libertarian lightning rods...(feel free to add to the epithet list)

At the end of the day, it’s US... all of us... against “them” on the other side.

And some of the “elderly” out here - a LOT of them - spent time fighting the ideological allies of the Democrats in Korea and Vietnam... so I think if they want to talk about their grandchildren out here, well, they earned it.

(For the record, I was too young for Ike!!! My first voting Presidential election was Reagan, and he set the bar which NO ONE else has come close to).

I was half-joking.

I, too, cut my political teeth on Reagan’s first campaign.

I was too young to vote but could still perform grunt work.

Obama tells Medvedev he will have more flexibility, and in the next moment due to Syria they are magically at odds. Over what? Syria? Just out of the blue they dislike eachother and not one person can find the reason why they now hate eachother. Something is not right here.

I think Putin is angry that obama drew a red line and did not go into Syria on the timeline they had set. Putin is in with Iran and obama knows this. I believe that they had it set for obama to strike Syria (flexibility) giving Iran and Russia the go ahead to attack and destroy Israel. Glitch, obama found out he didn’t have the flexibility he thought he had now Putin thinks obama is a weakling. Time to reset the agenda and all will be well between the two socialists. Their little farxe will be proven when obama strikes Syria and Russia and Iran hit Israel. Obama hates Netanyahu and Israel so he would be happy if Israel was destroyed.

I hope and pray I’m wrong, but this is a dangerous farce being played out here. I hope Israel will remain safe.

I spent a little time in Ireland last month, and they’re still chuckling about him getting drunk at an international conference, and grabbing a seated Angela Merkel from behind. (She’s not very popular in the UK)

He does love the alcohol- his dad was a raging alcoholic and he may be too. At times he has the disconnected speech and look of a drunk just coming off a major bender - incoherent, angry, overly sensitive to criticism, rightous indignation etc.

I was always suspect of his personality "ticks" and one day I was reading the WH Insider blog about the frequently drunk Obama when I became convinced that the WH Insider may just be the real deal -

I’ve been on FR for a Loooong time.

I don’t care about flak from anonymous internet posters.

As opposed to know-it-all brats who ought to listen and learn from their elders? Those of us who are “elderly kooky types” know what our country used to be, and we want it back! Our country is being lost because people are content with their own little status quo world and refuse to see the bigger picture - that we have been the proverbial frog in the slowly boiling pot.

And, by the way, no one really cares how many degrees a person has, either. All they are is an indication that one can complete a task. It is no indication that knowledge was actually acquired.

I always wonder why those who don’t like it here on FR don’t just leave.

I’ve read in the hostile press that W is actively fighting his addiction.

I hope so, for his sake. Don’t dislike the man.

Don’t dislike Obama, either. He’s just a slick lawyer expertly riding the affirmative action train. Met lots of his type when I used to work corporate.

I always assumed the reason for that is because no one is actually convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt what his real name is. Is is Barack, Barry, Stevie, Dunham, Obama, Soetoro? - Who sent this unqualified, "ex" dope fiend cum Ice Cream scooper cum community rabblerouser cum "Constitutional Law Scholar" cum disbarred Slip and Fall lawyer . . . ?

I love FR.

So many people people take themselves soooo seriously, and get upset when someone says something they don’t agree with.

Fortunately, rational discourse peeks around the corner occasionally and says “Hi!”
