The leadership of the Russian Communist Party was 'absolutely right' in the assessment that the USA is “not a trustworthy' financial leader of the world”, Mr Putin said. - October 9, 2008

Putin: A KGB thug in a former communist hell-hole, who has ruined his nation’s economy and stock market by his outrageous thefts and the lack of rule of law.

USA has been gravely damaged to the point of death by having leaders, who are trying to follow the UN. The UN wants to turn us into a third world country, taking first , all of our jobs, now all of our finances. This is hopeless. Both Bush and Obama are globalists.

Oil prices are crashing and Vladi’s stash of hard currency is crashing with it.

The sterling Russian economy sure does set the standard for affluence and success, doesn’t it, Vlad?

And Vlad's own stock markets have had a few halts recently to stem the losses.

Putin may be auditioning for Katie Couric’s job, Putin is a good democrat, he knows all the talking points.

“Putin: US image damaged forever over economy woes”

Guess that’s like the idea that Soviet Union will exist FOREVER.

Gee, and Mr Putin had been so committed to a positive image for the U.S.

He must be crestfallen.

Putin's remarks during a Communist Party meeting were the latest Russian attack singling out the U.S. as the chief culprit in the global financial turmoil.

"Trust in the United States as the leader of the free world and the free economy, and confidence in Wall Street as the center of that trust, has been damaged, I believe, forever," Putin said. "There will be no return to the previous situation."

We haven't seen much of Pelosi, Frank, Dodd, Soros, Ayers, Dohrn, and Michelle Obama lately. I wonder if they were in attendance at that meeting of their comrades?

This from a man who orders the cold-blooded murders of journalists and dissidents both within his own country and also outside of it. Putin lacks the credibility of toad.

"Trust in the United States as the leader of the free world and the free economy,"

Since he has never admitted the leadership of the United States over his gulag, he is then admitting that his nation and his economy are NOT free, but rather subject to supreme authority---just as Obamunism advocates.

“Oil prices are crashing and Vladi’s stash of hard currency is crashing with it.”

Very interesting unintended consequence of our economic downturn will be falling oil prices. This will hurt Putin and especially Hugo Chavez, who has been buying the loyalty of the masses through the oil wealth.
