Girlyman needs a lackey
to open the door for him before he can get out of the vehicle? He’s got all the charisma of a mafia don.
That's a little too simplistic. Maybe Obama was going out of his way to look "dominant" because he was intimidated. Maybe Putin felt the awkwardness of the situation, and Obama was oblivious.
We should be striking Mexico.
