How did Putin outmaneuver Obama?

You mean your right wing media brain masters have not told you yet?

Putin is a chess player. Obama plays basketball.

Putin has significant foreign policy experience, Obama is lacking.

Kerry gave Putin the opening to engage and Syria agreed.

Kerry outmaneuvered Obama, but he did so unwittingly.

He didn't. The Syrians are friendly with Russia and not with America Obama started this and Putin found a peaceful way to settle it. Works out fine.

Something is happening and that is no one wants to be bossed around by Obama. The outmaneuvering was easy to do. Once Putin saw Obama floundering, it was an easy task.

Are you sure Obama didn't out maneuver Putin? When the chips are down, if the current plan works and Syria gives up control of their Chemical weapons, it's a win for Obama.

0bama really , really wanted to bomb someone so a peaceful solution never crossed his mind .

Putin on the other hand did not want to see a third world war .

Affirmative action and the self esteem movement have finally borne fruit...

Easily.

Makes me wonder why the Republicans cant.

This is still a fragile and on-going crisis - how can you be so cavalier in your understanding in what is happening? I'll chalk it up to immaturity.

It was a game between chess master and a kindergartener.
