Putin Mocks Obama: If He Wants to Judge Russia, ‘Why Doesn’t He Get a Job on a Court? (VIDEO)
Mediaite ^ | May 23 2014 | Noah Rothman

In an interview broadcast live on CNBC on Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin mocked President Barack Obama for criticizing Russia’s role in the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Putin drew laughs from the audience when he dismissed Obama’s criticism, saying that Obama should “get a job on court somewhere” if he intends to judge Russia.

Putin was asked to respond to Obama’s accusation that Putin had been telling “untruths” when he denies Russia’s involvement in instigating the bloody crisis in Ukraine. “Who is he to judge?” Putin asked. “He wants to judge people, why doesn’t he get a job on a court somewhere?”

After some more jocularity, Putin insisted that Russia would respect the outcome of a May 25 presidential election in Ukraine. While he criticized the interim government in Kiev, Putin insisted that Moscow “will have every respect for the choice the Ukrainian people will make.”

Aww geeze, don’t say that Puttie. The left will want to do exactly that. Besides, Obama is too stupid to recognize his own double standards anyway.

Does America really have to suck this bad before we hit rock bottom?

This morning, on CNBC TV, Economist Steve Leasman was asked to comment on this same speech by Putin, and went on to comment about Putin as follows:

“A despot has a way of defining his own World, and then living entirely within it.”

IMHO, that comment was a PERFECT description of Obama, the golfing Nobel Peace Prize Winner, and Father of Obamanation.

“A despot has a way of defining his own World, and then living entirely within it.”

That definitely fits Obama and nearly every other dictator throughout history. It fits Putin as well. Unfortunately Putin has the benefit of recognizing that the rest of the world as reality full of unrealistic idiots like Obama and he uses it.

A better understanding of US politics would say that obama appoints many judges just like his a-hole self.
