According to PRAVADA, Barack Obama and his family come to Moscow just as foreign tourists.

Of course, if you go to the next article down in Pravda, it’s entitled “Obama comes to Moscow to throw loop on Russia’s neck”:

And, for the Russian take on Presidential accommodations, try “Barack Obama to stay at 13,0000-dollar luxury suite at Moscow’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel”: http://english.pravda.ru/russia/politics/03-07-2009/107941-obama_moscow-0

4:15 AM: OBAMA SAYS FUTURE DOES NOT BELONG TO THOSE WHO GATHER ARMIES OR PLANT MISSILES…

7:45 AM: Suspected US missiles hit militants…

I haven’t laughed in years at anything as outrageous as this.

Better: The future does not belong to those who fail to properly defend themselves and their allies from their enemies.

“Yes, I trust President Medvedev.”

My sources that will remain fictional told me that PrezBo elaborated, saying, “I also believe in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny.”

Yes on our dime. That sounds about right, lets just hope he leaves, before doing long term damage to our Troops safety in the future.

And that’s the ones we know about.

If the current treaty stipulates a maximum number of and we have warheads and russia has over 2550 and we 2202, why would any sane/rational/smart person thing that when we lower this to 1500 the russians will honor the agreement?

Unless your real goal is to neuter the defense capability of your own country.

Putin to Medvedev: “Vant to bet I can git Token to kiss my ringding-a-ling?”

Med to Putin: ” I know, vat a dork, he makes Carter look scary”.

FIFY

I am so glad our POTUS went it Ivy League schools…

Puttering professor mutter’s “what kind of logic are they teaching in those schools now days”.

Why just a couple of weeks ago, when he was in Pock-e-ston, Barry expressed his love for the great Urdu poets and his ability to cook up Eastern dishes like keema and dal.

This week, the Moscow Times is reporting that Barry knows and loves the work of the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. I bet’cha he reads it in Cyrillic…to his daughters, when he tucks them in at night.

AND, as a bonus, just like Barry, Pushkin has African roots! His grandfather, Gannibal, came from Ethiopia.

See? How can the Russians not adore him? It’s a match made in heaven I tell ya.

“Yes, I trust President Medvedev.”

Well, if you can’t trust the sock puppet of a Russian despot, then who can you trust?

Why not just have Soros meet directly with Putin?

Wine_N_Dine on July 7, 2009 at 9:50 AM

Perhaps that’s already occurred, explaining the Pravda headline. Obama simply signs on the dotted line what Soros has arranged, gets to meet his comrades and sight see.

Somebody should photoshop Obama handing Medved
the infamous ’HilRod Resent Button’, now that
would be a hoot!!:)

Upon Hillary’s presentation, the Russians clarified immediately the “overcharge” at our expense that Obama has now accepted to pay.

teaser headline

heh

Precision!

Ben Feller of the Associated Press asked Obama whether he feels he has “full trust” in Medvedev and whether he feels certain about who is in charge in Russia, President Medvedev or Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

Obama responded, “Yes, I trust President Medvedev.”

Excellent point, Ed:

Well, those who are ignorant of history (Carter’s kiss on Brezhnev’s cheek, Bush’s look into Putin’s eyes) are doomed to repeat it.

I doubt, however, that Obama is unaware of those political moments. Instead, Obama’s perpetuation of this adoration for Russian authoritarians is the point to note. Obama would never acknowledge anyone’s superiority unless he actually THINKS he and the US are inferior. (He falls far short of meeting Ghaddafi’s advice.) Hence, his bow to the Muslim King for his favor, his absolute yet unearned trust in Medvedev for his favor, and his bumbling over titles with Putin for his favor. Measure all that in context of snubbing Europeans and US allies. It wouldn’t necessarily result from overt calculation, though that’s absolutely the case behind the scenes, but certainly is subconscious, all the more revealing on stage.

We can be sure that the KGB had Obama’s number as a “useful idiot” from the time the tool-in-chief was a pie-eyed student.

Oh, and could some one check to see if Maureen Dowd is still ovulating?

Rovin on July 7, 2009 at 9:14 AM

The childless barren one does not ovulate–her ovaries were smart enough to rot away in order to stop producing eggs for this b*tch long ago.
