Now, this is just getting embarrassing. According to Hillary Clinton, the Russian reset was a success. According to President Obama, we are not entering a second Cold War. But according to the Kremlin, U.S. President Barack Obama is a poodle-holding weakling compared to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Russia is turning to Twitter to drop a sissy bomb on President Obama, using photos to challenge the manliness of America’s commander in chief, while pumping up their main man, President Vladimir Putin.
The post by Russia’s deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin included side-by-side images of the two presidents. In one, Putin is confidently holding a majestic leopard. In the other, a notably younger Obama is holding a small, fluffy dog.
The caption: “We have different values and allies.”
Ouch.

The White House said Obama again spoke with Putin on Friday to discuss the situation in Ukraine.
“The President reiterated his deep concerns about Russia’s increased support for the separatists in Ukraine,” the White House said. “The President reinforced his preference for a diplomatic solution to the crisis in Ukraine, and the two leaders agreed to keep open their channels of communication.”
Of course, they left out any discussion regarding the mockery the Kremlin is making of Obama on the world stage.

I like the poodle too. It’s out of line to make that kind of comparison on the basis of our animal friends.
