NBC: The Big Chill: A dominant Obama meets a cool Putin at G20 (BARF!)
NBC News ^ | September 5, 2013 | Tracy Connor

President Barack Obama was intent on getting the upper hand as he greeted Russia's Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit on Thursday, according to body language experts who watched the frosty exchange.

From a jacket-buttoning pause to a hard-pumping handshake, Obama displayed tell-tale signs of dominance after he alit from a limo in front of St. Petersburg's Konstantin Palace, where Putin waited to meet him, communication experts said.

There was no outright hostility, but the chill between the two world leaders — at loggerheads over NSA leaker Edward Snowden and a strike against Syria — was evident in clenched-jaw smiles and lack of eye-contact and touching, the experts said.

The things I like about Putin is that you just don’t mess with him. He loves his country.

We don’t have political leadership that can say this anymore, except for a very, very few.

There is a pic of 0bama walking over there. His shoulders indicate that he lost. He LOOKS defeated.

Everything else is theater.

‘Strange how people pop in your life unexpectedly.’
Jury pool. How startling!

I had something similar happen to me over 40 years ago, in another state than where we are now, and at a church, also! Except I had family nearby, milling around - -

It began with a hug - why I was being hugged escapes me now. Circumstances blurry, these years later. I think I thought this was a lonely older guy, and he loved being with people at church - - -
And those years ago, we weren’t hugging with abandon like has been going on for a few years now, with some.

Also, when I was in high school glee club - yes, that’s what it was - this odd guy - also in the chorus - was copping a feel under my chorus robe when we were in line waiting to go on stage. I stayed away from him whenever I could. He was totally opposite of being handsome.

Thinking back, I guess these 2 were desparate, but what a chance to take. And were they doing it to others?
In both instances I began to doubt what I thought happened.
It was fast, to be sure.

We have 5 granddaughters and I wonder what awaits them. Boys, too. Got 6 of them - grandsons. Their parents have to be giving them some prep - -

I remember years ago someone said instead of trying to smooth the rough road ahead for our kids, we’ve got to ‘smooth the kid’ for the rough road.
That has stuck with me.

Putin’s wife is a hottie, while M O looks like she just finished shopping at WalMart.

“Two men enter, one man leaves.”

For that to happen, you’d need two men.

‘Strange how people pop in your life unexpectedly.’
“Jury pool. How startling!”

When I saw the guy in with the other prospective jurors, I tried not to physically react but in my brain explosions were going off due to I knew I had to tell the attorney about this man so he wouldn’t try to pick him when we started the selection. That was sort of embarrassing to tell the attorney but I had to do it.

Your grandchildren are going to face situations we never had to deal with. Like, in school, “Is that person a boy or a girl?” “What is that boy doing in our girl’s restroom?” Plus, they will have a carry a list of words they can’t say or get kicked out of school or arrested for saying one of those words.

I’d put my kids in a private school and talk to those running it before putting my kids in there.

Girls have had to deal with guys doing inappropriate touching probably since life began on this earth. Parents need to talk with their daughters about this so they know what to do.

And, if Hussein wants to stay alive, he’d better not touch Putin anymore, except to shake hands. No putting his hands on Putin’s body anywhere.

.......Imagine President Allen West at this meeting shaking Putin’s hand. First, there would have been a modicum of respect between the two “real” men even IF they hated each other’s guts which West likely would being the student of history that he is. Second, West is not a “game” player which would be obvious to “real” journalist, if there is one still around.

In 2008 Obama went to Cairo and apologized to the world for so called US
neo-colonial militarism. Now Obama wants to be what he apologized for?

What would you like him to be today?

You can fill an empty seat with anything.

Maybe Putin came up with this to try to make Obama look more like a man....

NBC is much loved by elite liberals. They get the leaks that matter... Maybe Putin’s setting up Obama to look like a man... ever wonder about that possibility?

Well that’s my fault...as I didn’t realize if a photo was on a different site then it’s origen you still can’t post it. At least that is my understanding...

In other words, even if I pull a photo from a foreign news site or twitter but it’s origen is Getty, Corsi or AP It still cannot be used no matter what the news site is otherwise. (from all sources)

I believe it was the FSA rebels who did the gassing. I’ve looked at numerous sites and have a collection of photos that indicate they did it. Want to make a slideshow but it’s really bits and pieces from everywhere.

Amazing that we are now more prone to believe Putin than our own ‘P’resident!! But Puten has experience with the Chechen muslims. Remember the 2004 Beslan School Massacre by Chechen Muslim terrorists?
