Is Putin Challenging President Obama?

Real Clear Politics: Obama Pushes Back: "In What Way" Is Putin Challenging Me?

In an interview which will air in its entirety tonight on CBS's "60 Minutes," President Barack Obama pushes back against the idea that Russian President Vladimir Putin is "challenging" America's leadership in the world. While Obama tries to justify himself, "60 Minutes" host Steve Kroft inturrupts the president three times in less that two minutes: "He's challenging your leadership, Mr. President. He's challenging your leadership."

"In what way?" replies an angry president.
