The United States President Barack Obama is found to be "not too firm" in implementing foreign policy. The Republicans feel that the Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees with the idea of Obama having a "weak" image relating to foreign affairs, but they are mistaken, according to the Examiner. Putin does not think of Obama as 'weak'.

While Russia has supported the Assad regime in Syria, that has made it tougher for the US to attack the Islamic State terrorist group, and it has created a problem between the two Presidents.

In an interview with CBS, Charlie Rose asked Putin if he believes that Obama is weak.

"I don't think so at all," Putin answered. "You see, here's the thing. In any country - and in the United States I believe this happens even more often than in any other country - foreign political factors are used for domestic political battles."

"There is a presidential campaign coming up, so they're playing either the Russian card or something else."

Even the leading candidates of the GOP do not like the manner in which Obama has handled foreign policies, boosting global tensions, according to HNGN.

"When we look at conflict, the president will certainly be focused on the situation in Syria and Iraq, and he'll be focused on the situation in Ukraine," Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor for the White House said, according to the Hill.
