Sarah Palin has hit out at President Obama, saying that he is a weak leader who is known for wearing mom jeans, while comparing him to "bear-wrestling" Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The former Governor of Alaska said on Fox News that people are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil and they look at Obama as one who equivocates and bloviates, Politico reported.
Palin continued saying that America is not a country that the rest of the world wants to emulate because of Obama's weak leadership and his failure to understand "peace through strength."
Anybody who carries the common-sense gene knows that Putin doesn't change his stripes, she added.
Palin made the comments just days after photos of Obama wearing jeans in the Oval Office during a 90-minute phone call with Putin surfaced.
