Obama: I’d Save Putin From Drowning

From Russian state media:

American President Barack Obama said he would “absolutely” save Russian President Vladimir Putin if he were drowning. He added that in spite of recent disagreements between Washington and Moscow, there were still areas they could cooperate. Echoing the Russian president’s answer to the same question during an extended press conference last week, Obama said he would save Putin from a watery grave. “I’d like to think if anyone were out there drowning, I’d save them,” Obama said in response to a question at a news conference in South Korea. “I used to be a pretty good swimmer, I grew up in Hawaii.”
