Obama assured of a chilly Russian welcome despite first signs of thaw
The Scotsman ^ | 07/04/2009 | Chris Stephen

Posted on 07/05/2009 5:08:28 AM PDT by autumnraine

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.

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

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?

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.

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

Mine wasn’t split. She was cut out and the whole background painted properly. I have that empty background saved and other things could be inserted.

Lots of detail work to do that

I draw up a storyboard and save various sized sections and then composite them on a black BG and the crop the composite to 980x735

Yes, I do things my old fashound hard way, but it relaxes me and I enjoy it.

I need to find the name of the FReeper who is keeping a webpage of everything Obama does, week by week. Can you recall if it is Nachum?

A friend asked me ‘what all’s going on’, lol, so I need a good source.

That's such BS! Once our new president, Obama, gets over there he will be licking so much butt that they will love it.
