desde un principio ha estado al lado del presidente barak obama, ¿cuÁles son sus argumentos?n que ha estado auspiciando reducir nuestras fuerzas armadas en afganistÁn, yo no tomo el uso de fuerza ligeramente, pero en este caso, despuÉs de revisar toda la inteligencia yo creo que el uso de armas quÍmicas, en relaciÓn de la ley internacional, no solamente hay que condenarlo con el uso de fuerza para prevenir de que al-assad vaya a usar esas armas quÍmicas en contra de sus ciudadanos de nuevo, pero para mandar un mensaje mundial de que el uso de armas quÍmicas en violaciÓn de la ley internacional no es aceptable, y tiene consecuencias. >> usted desde luego leyÓ la carta del presidente ruso vladimir putin en el new york times, Él asegura que si estados unidos decide atacar a siria despuÉs podrÍa venir una nueva ola de terrorismo en contra de los estados unidos, uno y dos el presidente putin cree que es muy posible que no haya sido el dictador bashar al-assad si no los opositores quienes usaron armas quÍmicas, ¿cÓmo lo ve usted? >> bueno, imagÍnate, yo lei esa editorial que le ofr

. >> brack obama and vladimir putin's body language when they see each other -- barak obama -- barack obama and vladimir putin's body language when they see each other is clear. relations between the two world powers have not been so tense since the cold war. since putin's returned to the kremlin in 2011, there has been a series of tit-for-tat slights. the kremlin incensed the white house when it refused to extradite former intelligence officer edward snowden, who spent weeks in the transit zone of moscow's international airport. washington want him to stand trial for espionage. instead, putin gave him a passport and granted him asylum for a year. obama retaliated by canceling a planned meeting with putin. >> the president of the united states has signaled his interest in russia is declining. if you are russia, that is not a good thing. it is clearly not a good thing for the united states either. putin is definitely offended by this decision. i think it is unlikely to send a signal to his bureaucracy that they should work better, that they should play nice with the americans. >> and t

"wall street journal" says some 95% of 2009 to 2012 income gains went to the wealthiest 1%. why does president obama dislike the middle class so much? >> i don't know. it's not a good relati

and she is demanding an official apology from barak obama if that doesn't happen she will cancel her planned visit to washington next month moreover we do know already that barack obama is expected to meet the french president francois hollande and he's not meeting the british prime minister david cameron so it is rather warm and peaceful outside the constantine a skip bayless years in petersburg but there are serious doubts that the climate within this walls will be just the same where i do actually we're looking forward to the opening ceremony there let's hear. report from st petersburg where the g. twenty summit is about to start now there is a grim forecast from china's deputy finance minister at the g. twenty well prices will rocket and the global economy will suffer if the united states launches an air strike on syria goes russia's position advising washington to at least wait for an investigation is now bring in professor joseph chang from the political science department at city university and hong kong mr chang thank you so much for joining us here in r.t. to discuss the situ

speaks volumes as to where the priorities lie of moscow and beijing the same cannot be applied to barak obama we do know that there have been no official meetings scheduled between the russian leader and his american counterpart here in st petersburg during the two day summit and in fact barack obama refused to come to moscow ahead of the summit as it was scheduled before saying that russia granted asylum to edward snowden and the u.s. sees it as an acceptable so the meeting was down so obviously there's no love lost between the two leaders and despite that the russian president in his interview ahead of the summit described barack obama as a very good listen there as a very good person to have conversations with they have been on a very rough patch lately as my colleague in washington again education explains. after president obama canceled bilateral talks with president putin of russia's decision to grant edward snowden asylum many thought it couldn't get any worse the two won't even talk to each other but the one house now says there will be an opportunity for the two leaders to meet on th

barak obama also stressed that president assad staying is the head of the syrian state is not an option saying it would create an extremely violent space for extremists to operate and he war activists brian becker believes washington is just looking for a pretext to push through a military solution to the conflicts. but the united states and what france are trying to do at the security council is the bully russia and china in order to get wording into that resolution that would authorize them to carry out military action under the rubric of the united nations but clearly the obama administration says it has the authority to act unilaterally but it would like to have some sort of shield or at least a mask for this sort of unilateral operation chemical weapons in this instance are a pretext for an escalating intervention the obama administration's hand it's been stayed because of global opposition including massive domestic opposition in the united states they're trying to come back but they're in a weakened position right now it's a double standard it's hypocrisy the united states is try

barak obama must go in trial for crimes against humanity believe us president at the u.n. general stanley in new york at a more always blamed his u.s. counterpart for his aggressive foreign policy. spoke to him shortly afterwards and here's what he said. i want to remind that when obama was elected president has said that his aim was to end all wars but during a time of his presidency the number of wars only increased libya for instance the us organized an outrageous military intervention that was followed by the killing of the country's president and after that libya's oil wells are forming under their control they financed rebels with fight against the leaders and don't support imperialism and capitalism on top of that they run a worldwide surveillance network we need to establish a court where world powers and international human rights organizations take the judges we need to file a collective lawsuit aimed at putting an end to this genocide i think that the threat exists for any country with vast natural energy resources. especially when gas i understand this is a dir

place will be as we call it in the margins of these summits despite his recent interview described barak obama as a very good listener and a very good person to have a chat with despite him a seeming obviously very optimistic they have been some very strong statements coming from both sides lately as my call the explains from washington. after president obama canceled bilateral talks with president clinton over. russia's decision to grant edward snowden asylum many thought it couldn't get any worse the two won't even talk to each other but the one house now says there will be an opportunity for the two leaders to meet on the margins of the g. twenty summit so it looks like as much as washington wants to snub moscow president obama and putin will have to talk the u.s. is about to bypass the u.n. security council break international law and attack syria we believe very strongly with high confidence that in fact chemical weapons were used and that mr assad was the source russia says america's we believe is not enough and that if there is credible evidence it has to be presented to the u.n. . the

in fact, former senator barak obama pretty much opposed former president bush at every corner regarding who are actually supporting this democratic president. you talked about clarity and confusion, this president delayed when it came to getting bin laden, delayed when it came to following up on benghazi. now he has delayed on syria. he has gone to congress probably to share the blame if anything blows up in his face. but do you think going to congress was the right thing for him to do and why? >> i think we won't know the answer to that until we see whether or not he provides any leadership in the country to have the american people and the congress understand what it is he wants to do. unless he's going to do something that's worth doing, it seems to me he shouldn't act. if you go to congress and ask for their support, they're going to want to know support for what? now, did he need to go to congress? no. under the constitution and practice, we've seen that we haven't had a declaration of war, for example, since world war ii. presidents, as commander in chief, have authority. but they

it was like barak obama is going to get reelected by promising you a lot of free stuff.re is such a mess that it probably will not have that effect in the end 'cause it will affect so many people adversely that it will end up creating animosity against it. there actually was one entitlement that passed in 1988 that was a catastrophic care bill attached to medicare which everybody assumed would be unrepealable. it was so unpopular, it was repealed the next year in 1989. so i think this will probably happen to obamacare. >> brian: it's called elections. as much as ted cruz is doing an incredible job with great endurance and he's a commercial with for five hour energy, in the end it's about election. if you want to change something, find a strategy, find a message that gets you in office, whether it's the house or the senate. >> elisabeth: sure. essentially create a product and a lot of people bought into it and now want to return it and can't. >> steve: i think what it comes down to is will the government run out of money and will the republicans get tagged with it in the

and that romney pretreat barak obama is it not competent president. he was somebody you to know what to do in the economy. he really didn't know what he was doing as a general matter, but he was a good family man, a good guy, someone who you want to go out to a with. he would say president obama is a good man. if you look at the campaign against that romney however, including people in the obama campaign, mitt romney put dogs on top of his car, had binders full of women and wanted to pitch while back in that romney specifically fired employees and diverse leaders there widespread die of cancer because they didn't have health insurance. he stashed off money while singing because their version america beautiful. the poll showed those. most americans agree with that romney on a lot of issues. there's one issue on which they disagree. when it came to the exit point was that which can be deeply cares more about people like you, 8020. that would include probably a plurality of republicans. barack obama cared more about people like them. that's because if yo

barak about obamacare. listen to what president obama had to say. >> it's been a political i little political this old obamacare thing and so what you've had is an unprecedented effort that you've seen ramp up over the last month or so in which those who have opposed the idea of universal health care in the first place and fought this tooth and nail through congress have been trying to scare and discourage people from getting a good deal. >> the thing about hill, that's what many people feel, isn't it? this is basically another attempt to get rid of president obama. when, actually, a lot of people will benefit from obamacare undisputably. >> that's correct. this will do nothing to help, even the people that agree with ben ferguson, there is no potential political victory in what ted cruz is doing. >> then why are you so nervous? why are you fighting so hard if it's not a big deal. >> ben, hold on. >> i didn't say. ben, let me finish saying before you disagree with it. i'm in the saying it's a big deal. i think it's a huge deal a member of congress is wasteing 30 hours reading green eggs and ham when there are b
