Pretty Sure We'll Take It--And Like It

President Obama's pre-election pledge to President Putin of Russia that he'd have more "flexibility" after the election are being made moot by Putin's ability to bend our president any which way Putin wants.

Whether it is Snowden, Iran, or Syria, Russia doesn't seem to care much about what we want:

With the Snowden situation, Vladimir Putin seems intent not only defying America but embarrassing her. It turns out that an irresolute amateur like Barack Obama was the best thing that the brutal but determined Putin could have hoped for.

Putin prefers malleability to flexibility, anyway. Good grief, don't let Putin get Kerry in a room alone--Kerry will be Gumby-fied.
