I’m a bit surprised Dingy hasn’t accused Putin of being racist against Obama.

Via The Hill:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (R-Nev.) said he is “not a big fan” of Vladimir Putin, describing the Russian president as cold and calculating.

Reid complimented former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, and then offered critical remarks of Russia’s leader.

“I thought he was great,” Reid said of Medvedev in an interview published Sunday in the Reno Gazette-Journal.  “Putin appears to me to be a cold, calculating guy. I have never met him, but I met his predecessor. So I am not a big fan of Putin’s.”

U.S. relations with Russia soured after the country granted temporary asylum to Edward Snowden, who leaked information about secret National Security Administration surveillance programs.
