Putin and Obama

The news people were in agreement that Putin and Obama did not get along but they may have been mistaken. I say that because today Putin got Obama out of a very awkward situation by offering to discuss the placing of Syria’s chemical weapons under the care of an international group. Immediately Obama said that he had previously discussed this action with Putin and that we would not be at this point if he, Obama, had not threatened to use the military against Syria. This is a great example of snapping victory from the mouth of defeat. It is one of Obama’s best political coup’s. The Presidents demeanor immediately reflected his new found way out and I say great. The Syrian foreign minister said he would look into the idea and the United Nations quickly announced a meeting to discuss the proposal.
