Ah but when one is tough, can one be “flexible”?
Seriously, Mom pants vs. Judo fighter Putin. That’s a sight to envision.

Senators on both sides of the aisle want President Obama to put his foot down and demand a location other than St. Petersburg, Russia, for the upcoming G-20 summit if authorities from that country do not surrender NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, reports the Hill.
Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., have come together to offer a resolution suggesting Obama should exert pressure to have the G-20 summit moved from the planned site if Russia thumbs its nose at the U.S. and allows Snowden to stay in the country.
“On multiple fronts, Russia is becoming one of the bad actors in the world,” Graham said.
“For Russia to grant temporary asylum to Mr. Snowden on top of all this would do serious damage to our relationship.
It is past time we send a strong message to President Putin about Russia’s actions and this resolution will help accomplish that goal.”
Schumer accused Putin of being “too eager to stick a finger in the eye of the United States.”
“Enough is enough,” Schumer said.
