re: What are the odds Putin starts openly mocking Obama?

Maybe if Obama talked like a dumb cowboy and posed for shirtless pics he could get the same kind of hero worship by the right.

Bizarre.
You honestly think this is a matter of appearances?

It is about Obama's motto: Speak loudly and carry no stick.
If someone talks trash and cannot back it up, it doesn't matter whether he uses cowboy vernacular while posing shirtless, or he wears mom jeans while riding a girlbike. If a POTUS draws a "red-line" with no intent of enforcing it, then he is a buffoon.

Obama has drawn several "red-lines" with no intent of enforcing them.
