Russia has become the Progressive Movement’s new bogey man. Obama jumping on the anti-Russian fervor griping the Left shows his immature side and mocks Vladimir Putin’s appearance.
During Friday’s news conference, President Obama described Russian President Vladmir Putin as having a “slouch…looking like that bored schoolboy in the back of the classroom.”
Perhaps the president was trying to infer something about Putin’s intentions or public posturing based on his — well, actual posture. Something about Putin seems to invite scrutiny of his physiology by U.S. presidents trying to divine his inner workings (remember how former President George W. Bush looked into his eyes and saw his tender soul?).
Obama will soon discover that Russian Rightwingers like Putin are not the same type of Rightwing pushovers like the GOP. He personally insulted the leader of a major power that has nuclear weapons. This mocking will set back Russian-American relations to levels not seen since the height of the Coldwar. Obama will find out his insulting demeanor towards Putin will backfire, to the detriment to this nation.
Obama is not a man, he’s spoiled child.
