Obama: It's Putin's "schtick" to look like tough guy
CBS News ^ | Feb 7, 2014 | CBS/AP

President Obama says part of Russian President Vladimir Putin's "shtick" is to look like the tough guy in Russia.

"I think that’s where some of these perceptions come up," Mr. Obama said. "My sense is that’s part of his shtick back home politically as wanting to look like the tough guy. U.S. politicians have a different style. We tend to smile once in a while. ..."

...""There is no doubt we wanted to make it very clear that we do not abide by discrimination in anything, including discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation,..."

As with all progs O speaks out of his own mouth, words that express the structure in his mind. He only knows phony so everyone is phony. He only knows conceit so everyone is conceited. Bush knows Putin is no wuss. The Russian spymaster is the source of much of the evil in the world. Bush understood this. Obama does not.

“What is this “white separatist” cr*p you are trying to blame on Putin and FR??!!!”

Not the first time this racist accusation has been leveled at FR by FReepers. Saw the same tactic on another thread the other day. I think the DU and Soros sleeper trolls here on FR are unmasking themselves. Their tactic is to hit once with an inflammatory post and then disappear. Then they can run back to their media/Soros handlers and claim that FReepers are white separatists and racists.

It helps to read a post before you comment. I never said FR is a white separatist website. It is also not a libertarian website. It is a CONSERVATIVE website. Conservatism is antithetical to racism and calls for equal treatment for all under law. However, it is evident from reading non-leftist or non-liberal websites, whether conservative or otherwise, Putin has a lot of fans because of some of his public statements. That does not make the posters on non racist sites bigots any more than it makes them fans of borscht or vodka.

Sensible people draw conclusions from the evidence. Pathetic people make rash statements based on faulty or no evidence.

Obama and his puppies of the media will never admit that the Russian law is not about banning homosexuality per se, but about homosexual propaganda! If they did, the sheeple might get the wrong idea.

Read my reply above. As a 15 year member of FR with over 6,000 posts, I am hardly a Soros or DU troll. However, I must wonder about the motivation of those who flame unreasonably and without cause.

Yeh, I agree with you. Your posting history shows no inclination toward calling FReepers white supremacists which is why I found your post so out of character. Fashion your posts more carefully.

I will never praise Putin because we don’t have a good man in the White House. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
