US President Barack Obama said on Monday he was considering whether or not to meet his Filipino counterpart, Rodrigo Duterte, this week, amid alarm over the latter’s campaign against illegal drugs in which thousands of people have died.

Speaking at a G20 meeting in China, and before travelling to Laos for a summit where he was due to hold talks with Duterte, Obama said he had asked his team to find out if “constructive, productive conversations” were possible.

“Obviously the Filipino people are some of our closest friends and allies and the Philippines is a treaty ally of ours. But I always want to make sure that if I’m having a meeting that it’s actually productive and we’re getting something done,” he told reporters in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou.

Translation: Obama fears another public ass kicking. This time by the Philippino

So he slyly insults the leader of a country?

[Rashputin]

The only thing obvious is that Barry has treated half the world’s leaders as if they’re little, ignorant, children, who should be thankful he lowers himself to lecture them on how they should run their own nations.

[Ann Archy]

Could it be because he called Obama “a son of a whore”?

[ClearCase_guy]

This guy gave Obama a public beatdown and Obama responded in the wimpiest way possible.

I expect Obama to run away.

Nothing to get cranked-up about.

But I always want to make sure that if I’m having a meeting that it’s actually productive and we’re getting something done,”................translation, only if the leader I am meeting is down with sharia and tyrany we can get something done. Biocth slap. LOL.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Always leave a meeting looking good.
That’s got to limit the number of meetings you have.

It is a Democrat tradition. Yelstsin called Clinton so in Turkey using the Turk laguage, Sukisin or something like that

[COUNTrecount]

Right, ask Netanyahu about those "productive" meetings.

[Organic Panic]

I’m sure the Duterte is upset.

Translation from the political CYA Bafflegab: Obama is scared silly he's gonna get another public ass-kicking like he did in China.

This time by the Philippino guy who already called him a son of a whore.....IOw, a bastard.

“Could it be because he called Obama “a son of a whore”?”

Duarte meant that as a compliment.

[Delta 21]

Obama be whining like a lil bitch.

[Zeppo]

Obama: "Obviously the Filipino people are some of our closest friends and allies and the Philippines is a treaty ally of ours. But..."

Isn't that always what Obama says about America's close allies just before he stabs them in the back?

We've seen this before. Again and again.

And yet again.

I bet Trump goes to the Philippines before long.:)
