Putin is probably pissed because Obama made him swim in a cold lake.

Obama books gym at G8 summit...so Putin must swim in an icy lake
BARACK Obama won a âcold warâ victory ahead of the G8 summit after bagging a gym â and leaving Vladimir Putin to exercise in an icy lake.
The US and Russian leaders both bid for exclusive use of the fitness suite at the five-star resort hosting the talks in Northern Ireland.
Neither wanted to back down â or work out together.
But the stand-off was won by the 51-year-old US President as hardman Putin said he would get his fitness fix swimming in the lake surrounding Co Fermanaghâs Lough Erne hotel.
A source told The Sun: âBoth wanted the gym and Obamaâs people requested it first. It could have sparked a bitter battle and ended up a laughable sticking point at the talks â but the Russians backed down.
âThey said it was fine as Putin will go for an early morning swim in the lake instead.â
Former KGB officer Putin, 60, is famed for his macho image and love of outdoor pursuits.
He has been snapped fishing topless with a knife in his belt, demonstrating martial arts and taking dips in freezing Siberian rivers.
The source added: âThe water in Fermanagh will be cold, but it should be no bother to Putin compared to Siberian rivers.
âIn fact heâll probably revel in it, as it could make Obama look weaker in his mind for staying indoors with a trainer.â
Neither the White House nor the hotel commented. The two-day talks start today.
