Obama has cancelled his scheduled one on one meeting with Putin
So much for ignoring international law
Obama cancels meetings with Putin amid tensions
President Obama is canceling plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow next month a rare diplomatic snub.
The move is retribution for Russia's decision to grant temporary asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. It also reflects growing U.S. frustration with Russia on several other issues, including missile defense and human rights.
A top White House official says Obama still attends to plan the Group of 20 economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, but has no plans to meet with Putin there one-on-one.
Jimmy Carter's ghost stalks Obama White House

Vague terrorist threats shutting down nineteen of our embassies, Russian strongman Putin thumbing his nose at President Obama, Iran jerking our chain the U.S. hasnt looked this cowardly on the world stage since the Jimmy Carter administration.
Here at home, too, weve gone back to the Carter future; unemployment is high, Keynesian economics are all the rage, our professorial president is increasingly whiny and ineffectual; all thats missing is a cardigan sweater and that infernal violin.
Our recent contre-temps with Russia is a throw-back to the weak-kneed Carter era. President Vladimir Putin has granted temporary asylum to NSA leaker and fugitive Edward Snowden, despite frantic efforts by the White House to take the traitor into custody.
Mr. Obama is said to be livid; after all, he has pursued a chummy relationship with Putin for years.
The similarities between Obama and Carter are not confined to foreign fiascos.
At one point his eagerness translated into a seeming breach of faith with his own country, when he was caught on tape promising Putin (via his former number two Dmitri Medvedev) even greater accommodation on missile defense once reelected. Apparently the numerous earlier rebuffs from the Russian bully on Iran, on missile defense, on Syria etc. -- made no impression; Obama is ever hopeful.

As Putin becomes more of a minor player on the global stage.
It's almost like the Cons on this board are rooting for Putin. Obama enrages them so much they are willing to root for a ex KGB, election stealing strongman against the best interest of the US.
If I reacted the way Obama does every time somebody bad-mouths me in public I would never talk to anyone, because I hear it all the time. The key is to not let it bother you. Obama burns so many bridges we are hated more now than when Bush was POTUS.

What hard evidence do you have of that occurring?

Vlad bitch-slapped Obama in public. Our narcissist-in-chief can't handle that anymore than he can handle getting up on the porch with the big dogs. More proof he's an empty suit, faculty lounge Marxist in way too far over his head. Wonderful for America's reputation.
Putin really stepped in shit over this one and doesn't know how to get out of it
Accepting Snowden has created a diplomatic nightmare for Putin with no graceful way to get out of it. He is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't in returning Snowden
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy
