Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine who is under consideration as a possible running mate for Barack Obama gave the Senator credit for the Russian ceasefire in Georgia.
From ABC News' Jake Tapper.
"The Senator's goal was to be tough and smart," Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine said of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, "and so when the action (in Georgia) happened on Thursday, he immediately called for a ceasefire, condemned the unwarranted use of force by Russia. It was a bad crisis for the world. It required tough words, but also a smart approach to call on the international community to step in -- and I'm very, very happy that the senator's request for a ceasefire has been complied with by President Medvedev.”
Yeah, right.

BODS (Barack Obama Derangement Syndrome)
A syndrome that causes sufferers to attribute positive events and "changes" to Barack Obama, when they have absolutely nothing to do with him. Sufferers also tend to show obsession with words "hope" and "change" and tend to be extremely thin skinned towards criticism.

With the snap of the fingers, Obama can solve anything. And, he’s dreamy too.

Uh, the Obamessiah might want to rain down fire and brimstone on Vlad the Inhaler since the Russian leadership has apparently decided to follow the guidance of the man down below.

Tim Kaine who is under consideration as a possible running mate for Barack Obama gave the Senator credit for the Russian ceasefire in Georgia.Is he also giving him the blame since Russia apparently hasn't actually ceased firing?
No, of course he won't.

The only reason that this isn’t funny is becase of the Georgians that Russia is STILL killing.
What an idiot on many levels. I certainly hope Kaine is the DNC VP nominee.

I’ve been LMAO since I first heard these comments from Kaine.
Delusional was the only thing that really seemed to fit.

Oh yeah?
I talked about a ceasefire before both you and Obama did, so I, and I alone, am the one who deserves the credit!!!

Hey - it’s the opposite of “Bush’s Fault!”
Bad - Bush’s Fault
Good - Obama’s Accomplishment
Maybe Obama can surf eBay for some geopolitical clout. I hear you can pick up damn near anything on that site.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure that in the Kremlin they hang on Obambi's every word......
AIDE TO PUTIN: "Comrade Putin, come quick!! Obama has called for a ceasefire, I'm certain we dare not fail to comply!"
PUTIN: "Мы мертвы"** Obama the Tough Guy is on the case - I am cowering, let us surrender quickly!
** "we are dead"
