tweeted a shot of Russian President Putin petting a leopard, next to a posed portrait of Obama with a poodle.
“We have different values and allies,” the caption said.
Putin, a retired KGB officer, has a history of flaunting his manliness in staged photos that show him baring his chest while riding horseback through the wilderness, sitting next to a polar bear and even fending off an attack from a tiger.
But Obama’s academic aura has failed to impress and conservatives have already piled on the criticism, questioning Obama’s grit.
“People are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil. They look at our president as one who wears mom jeans and equivocates and bloviates,” Sarah Palin said in on
FOX News in March about Obama, after the Russian invasion of Crimea.
“He’s not alpha dog enough,” NBC journalist Chuck Todd said on “
Meet The Press” in April, about GOP frustration with the President
“His rhetoric isn’t tough enough.”
New York Times columnist David Brooks also agreed that Obama had a “manhood problem” when it came to his global affairs dealings.
“Is he tough enough to stand up to somebody like Assad, somebody like Putin?” Brooks added, speaking on “Meet the Press.”
