Fox Analyst: Putin Is Like 'Game Of Thrones,' Obama Is like 'Downton Abbey'

Among the GOP's manifold criticisms directed at Barack Obama for his handling of the situation in Ukraine, one of the most persistent has dealt with the President's "timidity" toward Vladimir Putin.

At least Obama shows class.

Can someone explain to me what there is about Putin's bare chest that portrays a strong and viral man? Looks pretty anemic and entering into old age to me. Certainly not a turn-on.
