Russian President Vladimir Putin holds a Persian leopard cub at a breeding and rehabilitation center in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. Perhaps the most important vote in Russia's public selection of a new Olympic mascot was cast when Putin said he wanted a funky leopard to represent the 2014 Sochi Winter Games.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Russian-based federation says Vladimir Putin gets eighth-degree belt in Kyokushin-kan discipline
• Putin, 62, is quite the sportsman and already has highest rank in taekwondo
• No protective gear is worn in Kyokushin-kan

(CNN) -- That Vladimir Putin, he's a baaad man.
The muscle-bound Russian President rides horses while shirtless. He catches massive fish and gives them a kiss. He tranquilizes tigers.
He also is apparently pretty good on the mat.
Putin, 62, has been awarded a karate black belt, the Russian Kyokushin-kan Karate-do Federation said Friday.
In a letter to Putin, the federation said the Kyokushin-kan International Honbu decided to award him an eighth-dan, or eighth-degree, black belt for his "contribution in promoting Kyokushin-kan karate in Russia."
Putin, known also for his judo skills, had already been awarded a fifth-degree black belt in 2001, according to the federation.
Kyokushin-kan is a full contact form of karate in which no protective gear is worn and in which striking an opponent in the head with hands is not permitted.
Putin in 2013 also received the highest rank in taekwondo, the ninth-dan ranking, giving him honorary grandmaster status, according to Russian state news agency Itar-Tass.

He should probably spend less time on his black belt and more time on his collapsing ruble and the blow to his economy from plummeting oil prices.

Obama Golfs With Jeter In Vegas [Community Organizer Plays "At The Nicest Golf Resort In Las Vegas"]

CNN ^

Obama has traded GOP rancor and late-fall temperatures in Washington for a golf outing with Derek Jeter at the nicest golf resort in Las Vegas. Obama, the retired New York Yankees shortstop and two Las Vegas businessmen were playing golf at Shadow Creek, which describes itself as a "masterpiece" course "sculpted from the Nevada desert by renowned architect Tom Fazio."

Unlike Obola who has economists like Gruber LYING to the American people, Putin has real economists working on that! The Deal with China is just the start, but Obola has to sink that PUTT!

He looks pretty good at that. I wish he'd taken that up as a career instead of devastating our country.

At least Putin has the balls to be honest about being a communist. Obama has to use deception, sending out others to do his dirty work, then throwing them under the bus when they become a liability.

Not to defend obama because there is no defense but one can severely injure a black belt in karate with a golf club.
