Obama and Putin - two "kids" as world leaders

Yesterday Barack Obama was quick to downplay his decision to cancel a meeting with the corrupt Russian dictator Vladimir Putin:

At a White House news conference on Friday, Obama insisted that he does not have bad personal relations with Putin. The two men had a testy meeting in June in Northern Ireland and from the photos of them at the time, it looked as if they would both rather have been somewhere else.
"I know the press likes to focus on body language, and he's got that kind of slouch, looking like the bored kid in the back of the classroom. But the truth is that when we're in conversations together, oftentimes it's very productive," Obama said

And Obama is the clueless kid ordered to sit in the front row by the teacher.
