Clearly you know nothing of the culture of the middle east...

Oh, and that reference about our Dear Leader being on his hands and knees... I hope that is not a thinly veiled reference about the rumors of our Dear Leader's membership at the gay bathhouse in Chicago.

Obama is seen by many around the world as our weakest President ever. How did he prevent us from going bankrupt? He doubled our debt in 6 years. He had no resistance for his first 2 years in office and yet the economy still struggles. The race card-really??? Obama has refused to work with Speaker Boehner. Does he hate him cause he is white?

And what fine country do you hail from that allows you to be such an authority on US events?

hello! FLAG!

Well you know how it is for the one guy to stop off on a hunting trip to admire that cat and then the other to have a photo-shop during one of his golf outings. Where's my caddie?

You mean forceful statements like some of these beauts?

"The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment - this was the time - when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America."

After almost 6 years of our Dear Leader, none of those sentences have stood the test of time.

What the metrosexual-in-charge fails to understand is that without a forceful statement of purpose or moral declaration, his pronouncements have little weight. He spent so much time denigrating American character that he's robbed himself of the role of our spokesman, and is nothing more than a self-absorbed political hack.

It isn't just testosterone that cows international bullies, as Maggie Thatcher and Golda Meir had their enemies shaking in their boots. Elected heads of state, whether you regard them as leaders or not, should be the persona that present the image of the people they serve. Thatcher and Meir, and Netanyahu today, present an image of strength, determination, and strong purpose. Obama, with his waffling, indecisiveness, and destructive, divisive actions, represents only himself.

It is hard to respect anyone who does not respect himself enough to tell the truth about something in his own life. If he walked in and said he was gay, okay, but to hide his lifetime membership in Chicago gay bath house? If he had a real marriage, not some sham set up by Rev. Wright with who knows what. Not even his kids are reportedly his.If he had admitted he was a Marxist, let Marxists elect him, don't sham the voters. He let himself be promoted as a genius, when his IQ is about 117, even Bush didn't do that! He projected himself as Black, conned the Black voters, then did not do squat fore them, except to use them. He conveniently fails to mention his 50% white side, or his total communist background. Worst of all, he is Valarie Jarrett's lapdog, who can respect that, she does not.

The tweet shows off a very Russian attitude. Don't bother with issues, especially when you're in the wrong, but divert attention with a non-relevant issue -- much like a slight of hand performer. However, Obama gives them so much in the way of fertile diversions that he devolves from a president into a clown.

Now, there's a picture in my head I can't unsee... Vallery, Vallery, Vallery...

Absolutely. He doesn’t take shit from anyone, including our dear leader.

just accept the fact the 0 is NOT the leader of the usa let a lone the free world. actually it is impossible to describe nothing.

Is it soooo wrong for me to say that I agree with Putin? I think this is a wonderfully amusing ploy in a one-upmanship game. (If all international disagreements were with 'dueling photos' we would be living in a different world.)

I have two thoughts. First, if one wants to be respected he need only do things that are respectable. Most Tyrants settle for fear if they can't command respect.

My second thought is we have elected the Manchurian candidate. You can either imagine this guy is so inept at what he does that all of this apologizing, dithering, and leading from behind are unintended consequences of an idealog not up to the job, or you could conclude all is just as he planned, he really is a genius.
The beauty of the American system is there is just so much damage the executive can do before he is replaced. BTW, when I was young "leading from behind" was commonly called following!

From your lips to GOD's ears!

Anyone have a picture of Teddy Roosevelt petting a Grizzly with the great white fleet in the background?

I would take no leader over anyone. We need to learn to rely on ourselves and voluntary cooperation over people who would dictate our lives to us.

Sad, very sad, I never thought for one moment that I'd ever see the day that the US was perceived as having it's tail between it's legs. I just hope we survive until November and then again until November 2016. It may take decades to recover from where we are today.

And I would take PM Netanyahu....

I would like to dismiss these photos as political gamesmanship. However, I feel the poodle was, in all likelihood, ashamed of our President as well.

The only person that I need the respect of is ... myself. Having the respect of fellow Atlantis citizens is an added bonus.

Both animals in the picture on the right have been neutered.
