Holy Socks Of State

So the Russian President and the American President decide to settle their
differences with a sock mending competition, (stranger things have and will continue to happen.)
The rules of the competition are simple. Each president takes a turn mending a holy sock stuffed with a lightbulb for one minute before relinquishing the sock to the other president for mending.
The American Prez wins the coin toss and begins mending. After sixty seconds the buzzer goes off, all Obama managed to to do during the allotted time was to make the hole larger. With a supercilious note in his voice he hands the sock over to his Russian adversary and says, "your darn Putin."
