G20 ENDS ABRUPTLY AS OBAMA CALLS PUTIN A JACKASS

POSTED BY ANDY BOROWITZ





ST. PETERSBURG (The Borowitz Report)—Hopes for a positive G20 summit crumbled today as President Obama blurted to Russia’s Vladimir Putin at a joint press appearance, “Everyone here thinks you’re a jackass.”

The press corps appeared stunned by the uncharacteristic outburst from Mr. Obama, who then unleashed a ten-minute tirade at the stone-faced Russian President.

“Look, I’m not just talking about Snowden and Syria,” Mr. Obama said. “What about Pussy Riot? What about your anti-gay laws? Total jackass moves, my friend.”

As Mr. Putin narrowed his eyes in frosty silence, Mr. Obama seemed to warm to his topic.

“If you think I’m the only one who feels this way, you’re kidding yourself,” Mr. Obama said, jabbing his finger in the direction of the Russian President’s face. “Ask Angela Merkel. Ask David Cameron. Ask the Turkish guy. Every last one of them thinks you’re a dick.”

Shortly after Mr. Obama’s volcanic performance, Mr. Putin released a terse official statement, reading, “I should be afraid of this skinny man? I wrestle bears.”

After one day of meetings, the G20 nations voted unanimously on a resolution that said maybe everyone should just go home.

'Bama is showing the stress of having such a large percentage of the American people be against his surgical strike fantasy.

The only dick in this disgraceful scene is 'Bama. In approximately 55 years of paying attention to politics, I've never even heard of anything like this before. This guy is not only a cynical liar, he's an embarrassment to the American people.

Americans first in this magnificent country

I assumed the story was satire when I read it. Am I right?

You are correct, Mayday. Over the top for me, though. Too many people are wanting to believe it and have!

SATIRE--a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn; a way of using humor to show that someone or something is foolish, weak, bad, etc. ; humor that shows the weaknesses or bad qualities of a person, government, society, etc.

Decades ago, the world laughed when USSR Premier Kruskchev banged his shoe on the desk during a UN forum. The shoe [ preserving the metaphor] is now on the other foot. THe American President has embarrassed himself ..

It's all about doing the Israeli bidding on Syria.

The congressional vote on attacking Syria comes up soon. Obama, McCain, Linsey Graham, and Boehner [with the backing of Sheldon Adelson, AIPAC, and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations] are all for war. Most Americans aren't.
