Obama assured of a chilly Russian welcome despite first signs of thaw

BARACK Obama will have few traffic problems getting to the Kremlin for his first summit with Russian president Dmitri Medvedev on Monday – the Obamamania that has swept much of the rest of the world is absent from Moscow; there will be no adoring crowds to greet him. A recent poll by Russia's Levada Centre found only 23 per cent of citizens believe the US president will "do the right thing in world affairs", with many doubting his promise of change will heal antagonisms between Russia and the West.

A long listADVERTISEMENTof issues – from Nato's eastward expansion, to missile defence, to human rights, to the contest for oil and gas in Central Asia – continue to poison relations between the former Cold War superpowers.

Russian news agency Pravda was less than subtle in an editorial summing up the Obama administration, headlined: "Obama: Deceiver, cheat, swindler, liar, fraudster, con-artist."

I love how Pravda described Obama. They see what we see.

Exactly what kind of game is Obama playing and whose side is he really on?

Can’t believe we’ve reached the point where Pravda is far more trustworthy than the American MSM.

I suppose Pravda knows a Commie when it sees one.

You really need to ask?

Oh yeah, he screwed Poland over big time yesterday by announcing that he isn’t going to go forward with Missile Defense.

Poland put up a big risk of pissing off Russia but for what they considered a good idea to help America. Too bad Poland, we are ALL feeling the effects of this sociopathic man.

Now wait a minute! I read that Moscow (and that has to include Putin & Co., LLC) was going to be captivated by that queen of the catwalk, diva of design, and first lady of fashion, our very own Michelle O. What gives?

That was written by some dumb MSM swooning over anything and everything Obama.

I read, Michelle (such a lovely gracious lady)” will flirt with high fashion in Russia.”
I wonder if she will wear the ungly black & red dress that she attair on her body the night of BO’s acceptance speech.
Maybe jeans with her “wedding cake pink tiered top” or the belt holding up her boobs.
makes a person wonder..

I like to see DumbO get beaten around by other world leaders. The Russian leaders are actually leaders, not punks from thugland playing at being biggest bully on the block.

Screw dumbO. I hope they put him in a gulag.

His OWN side — what else? High-ranking Democrats tend to be narcissists, don’t you think?

He wants to remake the US, if not the world, in his own image. He won’t care how much damage he does while he’s at it.

The Russkies are intensely racist against Africans and Obama is after all a kenyan son of a whore.

Too bad we can’t give him the same kind of welcome on his way back!

The world is upside down.

Mo matter what one thinks of the Russians you have to admit that they have an acute sense of the obvious.
