Regardless of personal views world leaders might have of his tactics, Russia’s Putin is now seen as the single most influential player in the war on Islamic terror and the Obama White House was desperate to try make itself appear equally worthy of the fear and respect the world has for Putin’s determination to wipe ISIS off the face of the planet.
The Obama White House is said to have reached out to Putin staffers wanting to have a quick sit-down moment just prior to the beginning of the G20 Summit hosted this week by Muslim Brotherhood advocate and Turkish Dictator President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. It was a blatant attempt at a photo-op said to have been suggested and strongly pushed for by longtime Senior White House Adviser, Valerie Jarrett.
When images of Barack Obama shaking hands with President-host Erdogan flashed across one of the many monitors placed throughout the G20 summit it proved further fodder for rebuke by the Russian strongman, who then pointed to a monitor while shaking his head at the sight of the widely smiling and seemingly passive American president..- “He’s a child…he’s a child!”
It appears that for Barack Obama, the war against ISIS is an inconvenient political matter that runs counter to his longtime support of the Muslim world, whereby for Vladimir Putin, it is a far more serious affair requiring strong and direct intervention. The world is looking to Putin and dismissing Barack Obama.
Mr. Putin’s attitude toward ISIS is no laughing matter, though. He remains intent on that group’s ultimate destruction and has set out to do just that, waging an air war that has already dwarfed anything the Obama policy has undertaken over the last eighteen months since the president declared his intent to “contain” the ISIS threat.
And where is the evidence for the claim that the Russian air war against ISIS has "dwarfed" what the U.S. coalition is doing? They aren't even operating in the east where the main IS territory is.

They're bombing terrorists, I mean insurgents, I mean moderates, I mean good terrorists.
These aren't the droids you are looking for…

Obama is a clown. His administration caused, trained and supplied ISIS. He should be in jail. Putin is a REAL leader. And he WILL take care of ISIS.

Its not just Putin...everyone is laughing at this clown. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the world community, we are all worthy of ridicule for voting this moron into office....twice...and they would be correct in thinking so.

I wish there was a way to flag a response, because if there was I'd give this one 1,000 flags!!
The truth and stark reality of your statement should be shouted from every hilltop, every building; it should blaze across every screen and broadcast on every radio...in every language!!
I would only change one minor thing...I would instead say "...we are all worthy of ridicule for allowing this moron to be voted into office...twice...
...because I know I sure as hell didn't vote for this moron!!
