So you got nothing. Just hero worship for Obama.
I didn't see nervous, I saw the look of a man that had no respect for Obama and didn't want to be seen in public with the man, but was forced to.
Sort of like when the town scumbag tries to strike up a conversation with you in the middle of the street. You make any excuse possible to get the hell out of there.

Factually, in your brief video, Putin did look at Obama in between looking around.
Factually, we cannot see where Obama's eyes are looking.
Factually, Obama has flip flopped on Russia not being a geo-political adversary as he has asked for more military resources in Europe specifically because of what Russia is doing.
In your opinion, how was Obama promising Putin more flexibility until after the election not a mistake?

Factually, you're pole vaulting over sand grains.

Opinion, rather than fact.

In my opinion, holding to hard and fast statements in a fluid situation would be the height of stupidity. It's good that the president is able to think (and act) as the dynamics change. In my opinion, clueless critics prefer to nitpick over minute details of statements that are no longer applicable.
Putin acts and looks like that around everybody, not just Obama, so I don't think one should read too much into that encounter.

That's all well and good and I oppose making promises that cannot be kept, but the same reasoning applies just as much before an election as after one. Why would he be more able to think and act as the dynamics change after an election than he was before? After all, it's the same office with the same powers throughout.
In what way have I expressed any admiration for Putin?
My disdain for Obama is shared by many and is more than earned. I detest all unabashed liars.
Now why would or should Putin be nervous because of Obama? You made the claim in the OP.
Putin didn't say much to Prince Charles apparently, although he was heard to mumble the words big eared dork and make a rather rude gesture with his fingers.
