While the incessant propaganda being levelled at Russia and Russian
President Vladmir Putin from the West continues, it is nonetheless
understood that the UN summit that took place only a few days ago was a
public relations defeat for the United States and Barack Obama. Whatever

Obama’s on every front and the United States left the event with yet
another black eye on the reputation and credibility of a country that
could have been the envy of the world, but is now viewed by the rest of
the world as a petulant, albeit, very dangerous child.
Although Obama’s oratory skills (at least when a working teleprompter is
present) are known far and wide, Putin’s classic slouch and steady
speech proved to be too much for the Nobel Prize winner to overcome.
Indeed, it was not Obama’s oratory that failed at the UN summit, it was
what Obama represents. In other words, it was the U.S. reputation and
credibility that collapsed in New York. Although Obama himself
