1. Putin/Obama
Arturo   (02.07.14)
Never thought that I would like and trust a Ruskies Commie KGB guy more than the president of the USA... strange times we live in.
2. Obama's relationships with nearly every country on earth has
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.07.14)
turned icy. This is sad, for both America and its allies. But, this is what could and should have been expected when America elects a community organizer to deal with international affairs, and to do so based on the theories of the likes of the Rev. J. Wright and Prof. E. Said. Now we all pay for this error.
3. #1 Arturo - not strange, understandable
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (02.07.14)
Humans tend to respect someone that shows inner strength, self-confidence and conviction in his beliefs. I feel (hope) that we humans have disrespect for wishy washy people - those that say one thing and then change their positions on the matter - or say one thing and do another (hypocrites).
4. Obama fails again
David   (02.07.14)
So Obama tries to "reach out" by insulting people again. No wonder American foreign policy is flailing. His ego is just too big. Obama hasn't gotten over the fact that Putin humiliated him on Syria. The faster Obama can be kicked out of the WH the better, the damage has been enormous to America's standing in the world.
5. Obama's shtick
C   (02.07.14)
obama loves autocrats and dictators. he would very much love to be one himself. his governing style is certainly that of a dictator.
6. #3 not wishy washy
(02.07.14)
Putin called Obama "a monkey with a grenade" and he was right. Obama destroyed Libya and killed thousands of civilians for no real reason. Obama became so addicted to droning Afghan weddings that he gloated "I am really good at killing". He was about to launch a disastrous attack on Syria that would achieve nothing but destruction of Christians in Syria and Lebanon, and install an Al Qaeda regime when Putin saved him from himself.
7. You err !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (02.07.14)
I Quote - The American president denied in an interview with NBC that there is an icy relationship between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that "he just wants to look like the tough guy." Comment - ' Bouth You and the World will soon se that- He Is A Though Guy !. Arn.Sweden.
8. Obama
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (02.07.14)
When somebody feels the need to explain every second word........it means he is a liar!
9. And Hussein's shtick is
Mira ,   Vienna   (02.07.14)
to look like a narcistic fool!
10. Obama , deluded, not as smart as he thinks he is
(02.07.14)
11. Vu bist du, Obama?
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (02.07.14)
Did he actually say, "schtick?" Gottenyu! A Yiddishe bocher!
12. ... and Obama's shtick ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.07.14)
... is to look stupid and act even dumber. Except it isn't an act. Can anyone spell "lame duck?" Time for the "president" to hit the golf links. It's not as if he has an important role to play.
13. My schtick : I think Obama has a crush on Putin
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (02.07.14)
14. Sarkozy, Putin and Merkel each described Obama as naive
mea   (02.07.14)
Putin has out played Obama at every turn. Frankly, I am fatigued with Obama's handling of his failed relationships with Putin with lame remarks and tainting. Act like a president not a teenage girl trying to hurt her rival.
15. #13 Noodles: How perceptive !! Truth will out!
