Colbert: Obama Is Losing ‘Arms Race’ to Putin

COLBERT: “I don’t know if you folks have noticed, but one of the things I like to do at the beginning of the show is walk out here. (Laughter) And it’s become a habit. And fun fact — I am not the only one in the world who walks. So does Russian president Vladimir Putin. And this is absolutely true. His walk is so distinctive, that recently a team of neurologists published an article about it, check out Putin’s walk.”

COLBERT (voice-over): “You see, here he is walking. He swings his left arm but his right arm always stays by his side. (Laughter) And they think it’s because of his KGB training, OK.”

COLBERT: “They’re calling Putin’s walk a ‘gunslinger’s gait’. Because his right hand is always in position to pull a gun from his pocket, OK. It’s like this; he just walks like this with one arm by his side, look. (Laughter) This is with no training, I can do this. No training at all. (Laughter) I could have been in the KGB easy. (Cheers and Applause) Here’s the deal; if Putin has got a tough walk, that means President Obama needs an even you have  tougher guy walk. (Laughter) If he doesn’t find something to do with his limbs, we’re going to literally lose the arm’s race.” (Cheers and Applause)
