10. Somebody needs to shut those two clowns up before they do further damage

Show a little dignity you clowns. Putin already made it clear he's enjoying watching US politicians 'squeal like pigs'.

This is more embarrassing than when Bush was throwing a temper tantrum and demanding the Chinese return our spy jet. And he seems to take pleasure in letting us know just what he thinks of our comportment.


Mr. Obama arrived in office determined to invest in Mr. Medvedev, but he underestimated Mr. Putin’s continuing power. Their first meeting was marked by a nearly hourlong lecture by Mr. Putin about all the ways the United States had offended Moscow. At their second, Mr. Putin kept Mr. Obama waiting 30 minutes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin kept Kerry waiting three hours before their meeting at the Kremlin on Tuesday and continuously fiddled with his pen as the top American diplomat spoke about the ongoing crisis in Syria.

Is it too much to ask our politicians to act with a little bit more dignity?
