Live on MSNBC.

Dude! Kick Putin's ass!

I don't have a pic from the AF1 jog yet, but here he is heading for Marine One.





Ok, this one is at Air Force One, but right after the jogging.



He and I are late baby boomers. I still run up stairs from time to time too!

10. You'd never know it around here

I mean, Vlad's running circles around Obama while high-fiving Snowden, right?

11. Yeah, the Putin underground faction

at DU is swarmy.. but, maybe Putin isn't such hot shit after all..

From your link..

"Syria crisis: Vladimir Putin under growing pressure..

Russian president to be urged at G20 summit to come closer to accepting that Bashar al-Assad has to stand aside"

snip//

"Vladimir Putin is to be confronted at the G20 summit of world leaders in St Petersburg this week with an array of western intelligence including damning new French evidence directly linking Syrian government forces with a massive and co-ordinated chemical attack on 21 August that led to hundreds of civilian deaths.

The Russian president will also be urged to show a new diplomatic flexibility and come closer to accepting that the Syrian leader, Bashar al-Assad, has to stand aside.

A nine-page declassified French intelligence report was released on Monday which claimed to show Assad forces had launched an attack on Damascus suburbs held by opposition units using a combination of conventional weapons and "the massive use of chemical weapons."

4. I can imagine the conversation. :-)

"Vlad, how you doing?"

"Doing well, O, but you don't want to go into Syria. By the way, Snowden says he will not release those tapes on you for a while..."

"Yeah, you got me pretty good with Snowden... That's why I'm going to kick your ass in Syria."

"But you're still coming to our Olympics, aren't you?"

"Well, I don't know. Maybe you can talk your boy, Assad, into turning over his chemical weapons?"

"They got those from your friend, Great Britain, you know?"

"Well, if we can make some kind of deal on Snowden, I might hold the fire on Assad? What do you say?"

"Wait until you hear the tapes where the NSA was spying on you? It's going to burn your ass, big time...."

9. Only a handful of the G20 would support the US attacking Syria unilaterally.

Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, European Union, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States

Mexico and Brazil may be a little sensitive right now.
