Max Fisher: Obama had a pretty sick burn mocking Putin’s “leadership”
President Obama, during an oddly confrontational 60 minutes interview on Syria, managed to slip in a pretty good jab at Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He was responding to a question from interviewer Steve Kroft. Much of the DC punditry has hailed Putin's military intervention in Syria as brilliant and bold, complaining that Putin's predilection for action — even when that action is self-defeating — makes him a better leader than Obama.
