#1 It's not "unmanly", it's uh... nuanced. Yeah, nuanced.

The poor dog looks mortified.

#2 Among other things the PM is head of the Russian Rocket forces and production and sales of the motors for the ATLAS rockets used to lift quite a few USAF and NRO sats. Just last night one of the Atlas' was expended lofting a new style GPS sat. So without proof of the new motors being shipped - Note the PM's words claiming embargo of new engines for the military... this is not going to ended cleanly.

#6 Psychological warfare. They believe they are hitting his hot buttons, in regards to his narcissism.

#11 I've heard that because Putin is so short he has a Napoleon complex. Out president seems to channeling his inner Pee Wee Herman or that guy that was rejected by the Village People as being too "twee."

#12 Putin with a pet, Obama with lunch?

#13 Well you know when patrons pick out the live lobster they will have at fancy restaurants?

That is what Obama is doing in the picture. Having a picture taken with his 'dinner'.

That translates like "For the fatherland!". Wish America had ministers or even a President who sang that.

#18 I guess Michelle retired Obungle's "Mom Pants" he wore when he muffed the opening game pitch. That is a good thing. Putin seems to be obsessed with projecting his manly image. Do the Russian people really respond to this horsepucky?

#19 JohnQC, yes they certainly do - at least in the short run. But eventually the ever-present slavic cynicism kicks in.

#20 And Americans respond to horsepucky too - Obama and the press are a prime example of how much they engage the American people to fool themselves - some segments far more than others (minorities, progressives, far right, far left)

#22 All photo's of Obama are unmanly. That's because he's a mincing little pooftah.

#23 Psychological warfare. They believe they are hitting his hot buttons, in regards to his narcissism.

Perhaps the Republicans could hire them as campaign consultants.
