Putin Pulls Obama's Strings
Townhall ^ | Sept 10, 2013 | Neal Boortz

Posted on 09/10/2013 12:51:44 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Well, if you’re one of those out there who has thus far failed to see the dominance of Vladimir Putin in the Putin/Obama relationship … the light surely must be shining now. In the last 24 hours our Dear Ruler has managed to show not only America, but the rest of the world, just how weak he is on the world stage.

A bit of a recap here to show you what kind of a bind Obama was in:

· Obama goes off-teleprompter (always a dangerous thing) and comes up with this “red line” gaff. He is then on the record as saying that Assad will be dealt with harshly if he dares to use chemical weapons.

· Assad uses (or at least Obama and Kerry say he used) chemical weapons against his own people.

· Obama realizes how badly he screwed up with his “red line” comment. His credibility, whatever is left of it, is on the line.

· Obama seeks help from Great Britain. For the first time since 1792 the British Parliament refuses to go along with a request from the Prime Minister to use force. Obama is in this on his own.

· Obama needs someone to stand with him on this, so he tells the nation he will seek an approval vote for the Congress. It soon becomes clear the congress is not going along. The Senate…maybe…but not the house. Obama is feeling even more lonely and exposed.

· Obama calls in the campaign team, Plouffe et al. It’s not policy he’s looking for, it’s words. They tell him to tell the world that the red line isn’t really his. Fail.

· Virtually all polls taken of the American people show strong opposition to Obama’s planned attack on Syria.

I didn’t see in the article reports I heard on Fox over lunch today. They were reporting that Russia is now saying that the U.S. has to completely pull the military option off of the table for the agreement to work. In other words, we can’t “wait and see” before removing the option...we must rule it out completely right now.

Putin didn’t have to have a plan

I’m ready to start a “Putin for President” campaign!!!

Hey, O’s already proved one doesn’t need to be a naturalized citizen - and Putin’s far more conservative than most Republicans!

Wait, wait! Putin is a lifelong Communist whose every move has been to marginalize and defeat the United States. We've already GOT one of those as President!

It is the Saudi pipeline that is unseen and unspoken that is part of/causing a fiasco. That together with the gold bullion stored around Africa makes the financial kingpins in places like Frankfurt, Paris, London and Washington D.C. very uneasy. To para phrase the old saying ‘Follow the money(gold) and oil to understand who is orchestrating the situation. Keep in mind Obama’s deep bow to the King of Saudi Arabia.

“Putin is a lifelong Communist..”

Fer sure. That’s why he restarted and supports the Russian Orthodox church.

What has obuma done to help the Christian church here in the US or anywhere in the world?

Guess that explains why the Russian Communist Party hates Putin.
