White House: Don't read into Putin's body language

LOS CABOS, Mexico -- The White House urged reporters not to read too much into Vladimir Putin's body language during his public statement after meeting Monday with President Obama, repeatedly stressing that the Russian president is always "businesslike."

"This isn't the first body language-gate we've had with the Russians," deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said at an afternoon press briefing here, noting that there were reports of a tense discussion between Obama and Putin's predecessor, Dmitry Medvedev, though it's widely acknowledged that the two became friends over the course of about 10 meetings in the past three years.

Putin was serious and cold during his brief remarks, and didn't appear particularly receptive to Obama's words.

Because real men with real work to do are often irritated having to meet with sissy, limp-wristed, lazy posers.

Puitn knows Obama is in way over his head, and shows it in his disdain for him.

DISDAIN: a feeling of contempt for someone or something regarded as unworthy or inferior :

Putin is right too Obama is unworthy.

Did Obama forget to bow or to kiss the ring?

"businesslike" means greatly different things to Putin and the pot-head, metrosexual Obama.

Obama is such a light weight thin skin. Oh woe, Putin dissed him! Well Putin, you’re welcome to diss the Kenyan worm all you like, but think twice before you diss us, the USA. We’re not all sheeple here, Putin.

So is Putin a racist, a homophobe, or both?

Earth to White House...we read into the Obamadork’s language, not Vladimir’s. Vladimir is a man.

The Obamadork is a vapid, repulsive imitation of a male.

There is nothing about him that a slime mold can not exceed.

He is the definition of a perfect vacuum.

Nothing is as nothing does.

This is the same White House that said we’d have 6% unemployment right now, right?

Pretty fast damage control efforts by the White Hut.

Their trolls here would have been reporting in that many here were complaining VERY EARLY about that which we’re not supposed to worry.

America used to be the “BSD” of the world - now it looks like (inferiority complexed) Russia has finally found her opening.

I never thought I’d see the day in which I’d be more impressed with the Russian/Soviet leader than his U.S. counterpart.

Like him or not (and I don’t, but I grudgingly admire his steely determination), Putin is a far more serious leader with a love for his country and the willingness to defend it. By contrast, America has as a “leader” a simpering, pampered, effeminate metrosexual whose interests lie in destroying the country that elected him.

Anyone here think Vladimir Putin would give blanket amnesty to 870,000 illegal aliens in HIS country?
