Obama: I ‘Welcome’ Putin’s Involvement in Syria — ‘This is Not the Cold War’

President Barack Obama said he welcomes Russian President Vladimir Putin’s involvement with Syria, in an interview that aired Sunday.

“I welcome him being involved,” Obama said on ABC’s “This Week.”

“I welcome him saying, ‘I will take responsibility for pushing my client, the Assad regime, to deal with these chemical weapons,’” he continued. “This is not the Cold War. This is not a contest between the United States and Russia.”

The president, responding to Putin’s op-ed in the New York Times, said he doesn’t “think that Mr. Putin has the same values that we do.”

Obama added that Russian influence in Syria “doesn’t hurt our interests.”

I’ll bet that the Bamster truly feels uncomfortable being characterized as in a cold war with Putin. Bamster has always assured himself and his Marxist buddies that he loves Russia and the former Soviet Union. Its the USA that he has always disliked.

Yeah, what a mess. Recycled elitists with up-and-coming puppets from BIG GOVERNMENT CENTRAL in conjunction with support from RINOs inc.
