It is amazing to see how happy and glowing Barack Obama is every time he has talks with Russia. It is nauseating!
America just got over the fact that he took his daughters on a trip of all places to Moscow the first time he step foot there. What kind of American father-in-chief takes his kids on vacation to Russia? What do you tell the kids: Here is Kremlin; some of the worst dictators and mass-murderers in the history of the world walked in these hallways? Did Obama explain this to his kids? They looked pretty happy running in the hallways of Kremlin. Here girls: Daddy always wanted to show you the greatness of… Russia. 
President Obama’s equalizing the World War II with the ‘the Great Patriotic War’ was the latest in the string of weird moments where the US place in the history was downgraded to be equal to the Soviet’s
Those of us who grew up in the USSR know how the Soviets thought the history of the WWII – ‘The Great Patriotic War.’ It was all about the greatness of the Soviets. Every kid was thought how (to quote Obama) ‘the Russian people suffered and sacrificed so much’. It is true. Every family had a loved one who died during the war (some in the war – some in the Stalin’s prisons and labor camps).
The Americans were portrayed in the textbooks like: those imperialists that dropped the nuclear bomb. Obama had a chance to plug in a history lesson for the Russians who tend to distort the history for propaganda purposes. But no – he went to appease them again.

Well, I took my kids to Wrigley Field and local museums when they were old enough to apprecrate the places I thought highly of. So this behavior by Obama does not seem strange to me; just different priorities.
Obama is a weird dude. Plain and simple.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan
“...Here is Kremlin; some of the worst dictators and mass-murderers in the history of the world walked in these hallways? Did Obama explain this to his kids?”
Actually, yes. He told them daddy’s not in their league yet, but give him a couple years when the camps are completed...
Why shouldn’t Obama “bow down to Stalin”? He’s bowed down to everyone else, so why miss this chance to keep his record going?
Did he tell the kids about the Great Patriotic Purges, the Great Patriotic Gulags, the Great Patriotic Famines, and the Great Patriotic Bread Lines?
...well...0bambi hired the “Decembrists” band for a concert during his campaign...
I do not hesitate to give the Russian public and military full credit for their sacrifice. Stalin was just a butcher who occupied the Kremlin at the time.
He is giving intentional messages and signals to our enemies and the rest of the World. This is from the group behind the teleprompter.
Solzhenitsyn says it better then me.
When I was listening to Obama speaking yesterday it felt like I was listening to my high school history teacher in the USSR who of course was the secretary of the school teachers communist organization. It is insulting and ridiculous.
I bet it was not his speech writer, but Obama himself who put the Great Patriotic War in his prepared remarks.
Name another American who called WWII, “The Great Patriotic War”.
Maybe the New york times, but there are no others.
Probably Obama just wants to pass on to his daughters what he was taught as a boy.
The Russian people were valiant and resourceful; their troubled monarchy was eclipsed by marxists rather more easily than our government, no doubt due to our faith, unity and capitalistic burgeoning economy. The Russian Orthodox church didn’t have the fire to withstand the onslaught, yet it survived vestigially.
100 years later, nearly, we face the same music. the engine of economic growth is faltering, the church is a quaint memory for much of the populace. We are now ripe for the harvest.
Maybe what Obama’s hiding is he went to Patrice Lumumba University for all those “missing years”... feels like old home week at the Kremlin?
They took a Stalin statue down today in his hometown.
Maybe they can put an Obama statue up in place of it. ;-)

some of Uncle Joe's old girlfriends milling around the pedestal, asking where he went?
His wife was ashamed of this country until she figured she’d end up in the White House.
Little marxists have got to be taught to hate.
