Snowden - Putin - Flexibility

Snowden steals highly classified documents and exposes NSA for spying on everyone.  He gives some of the documents to a London journalist and to WikiLeaks.  Snowden runs to Hong Kong and hides, then to Russia where Putin gives him refuge.  In the meantime Putin thumbs his nose at Obama.  So what is Obama doing about it?  He dawdles, plays golf and goes to parties.

Whatever happened to, "I'll have more flexibility after the election" whispered in the ear of a Russian diplomat through an open microphone?  So how is this flexibility working out for you, Mr. President, as Putin thumps his bare chest and dares you to do anything about it?

Gives a whole new meaning to the word "flexibility", doesn't it?

After thought:  It's amazing to see the body language when Obama and Putin are together.  It reeks with Putin's disdain, and Obama is oblivious.  And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the state of the world.
