Original title: "Russia Responds To Obama Snub: "We Are Disappointed... But The Snowden Situation Wasn't Created By Us" (had to be truncated)
Earlier we reported that in an act of embarassing political ineptitude not to mention detente reminiscent of the Cold War's worst days, the US president did his best Freudian transferrance attempt today by blaming Putin for his ever escalating headaches caused by one 30 year old NSA whistleblower, and cancelling bilateral talks with the Russian president. And can anyone blame him: with the US increasingly slighted by both superascedent eastern powers, Russia and China, the US finds itself in a position in which it has never been - where foreign nations get to simply say "no." Here is what else Russia is saying in the aftermath of Obama's childish response.
From BBC:
The Kremlin says it is "disappointed" the US cancelled bilateral talks in September, after Russia granted asylum to intelligence leaker Edward Snowden.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's foreign affairs adviser said the move showed the US could not develop ties with Russia on an "equal basis".
Russian foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said on Wednesday Russia was not to blame over the Snowden affair.
"This decision is clearly linked to the situation with former agent of US special services [Edward] Snowden, which hasn't been created by us," he said during a phone conference with the press.
"For many years, the Americans have avoided signing an extradition agreement," Mr Ushakov said, "And they have invariably responded negatively to our requests for extradition of people who committed crimes on the territory of Russia, pointing at the absence of such agreement."
But he added the invitation for the bilateral summit was still open.
"Russian representatives are ready to continue working together with American partners on all key issues on the bilateral and multilateral agenda," Mr Ushakov said.
It's sad when Russia makes more sense than the American president. And speaking of the American president, here is his official stance for the reason he escalated:
The decision to cancel the US-Russia summit comes the day after Mr Obama appeared on an evening chat show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, in which he condemned a newly enacted anti-gay law in Russia.
"I have no patience for countries that try to treat gays or lesbians or transgender persons in ways that intimidate them or are harmful to them," Mr Obama said.
So... it's all about the homosexuals?
Then again, as always happens in politics, it is likely all just for show...
Russia will just quietly and PROFESSIONALLY continue to build up her empire and undermine the USA at every opportunity. Meanwhile, the Teleprompter and Chief will appear on shows like Leno and sound effeminate.
You know we have crossed the tipping point when it’s easy to have more respect for Russia’s position than the US Government’s.
Breaking: In a bold move by President Obama, he blocked Vladamir Putin from his Facebook “friends” list.
Isn’t it sad that it’s come to that? We root for Russia over our own president?
“...... not allowing our people to participate in the Winter Olympics”
But Mooooochelle will be there......on vacay
Obama chickens out again. I believe he is too scared to sit across from Putin again. He made the Won look like a child last time they were together.
You forgot the /s tag.
I love it when Obama makes absolutely no sense.
Um... I’m gonna vote NO on that, k?
I never would have believed I would have more respect for the leader of Russia than an American president, but I rather Putin be my president than Dumbo.
I loathe Obama more every day.
“Isn’t it sad that it’s come to that? We root for Russia over our own president?”
Funny my wife said that last evening. I told her I distinguish between my country and the obomination in the oval office. I now know how some Germans felt on the run up to 1939.
One thing I am concerned about is this jerk here is unstaple. I can see him doing something now at the far end of the extreme over reach. Domestically it could be anything but if it is on the international stage, we better be prepared for a serious negative result to us.
That picture is awesome.
I’d rather have Bill Clinton as president with all his fornication and treason. It is a sad day.
-—— they have invariably responded negatively to our requests for extradition of people who committed crimes on the territory of Russia-——
That is, urban liberal AG’s protect Russian mafia hidden under various urban rocks but indicted in Russia for all sorts of crime. They have good souls and will die if extradited. The AG can not be a party to a criminal death and insure the person remains under the rock with no probable cause for crime here.
This chicken has come home to roost. Live by utopian ideology, die by utopian ideology
“...Its time for us to pull together as Americans and stand behind Obama and America. Do it for the Children,..”
Oh, yeah. I’m on it.
“SIEG H...” err, ohh,...uh... Ooops... Never mind. There goes that damned arm again... Had a Dr Strangelove moment...
Sorry, I separate NObama and my country. I didn’t feel this way about Clinton even though he was a buffoon, he was our buffoon. As far as I am concerned NObama is on his own. He hates us, so he does not get my support.
I will paraphrase our loser president, “I have no patience for countries that try to treat gays or lesbians or transgender persons in ways that elevate them above other citizens or accept their deviant behavior as normal,” Mr. Resolute Conservative said.
We can follow McCain and Grahmnesty’s leads.
You gotta be kidding me! You're referencing the need to stand behind that POS 0dumb0, the greatest traitor in the history of our country? And that we should follow the leads of cowardly, pandering, appeasing, capitulating McCain & Grahamnesty? That's 3 strikes against you right there!
I wouldn't stand behind that POS 0dumb0 no matter what. I hope that Putin rubs 0dumbo's nose in the snub, and humiliates him every day. I love it! 0dumb0 is not my president and he is destroying the America we once lived in. Go Putin!
“..He hates us, so he does not get my support....”
Just remember: Hillary told us “Dissent is Patriotic!” we heard that for 8 years under Dubya, every day.
So I say we show this clown all the love, support, devotion and loyalty that the libtards showed Dubya for eight years by being as “patriotic” as we can, every day.
It’s about “fairness” and “social justice” and “giving something BACK” after all...
“...You gotta be kidding me!...”
He was.
Sometimes, the /sarc tag doesn’t need to be shown.
Ok... thanks. Sometimes I spout off too quickly. I need to relax & take some deep breaths! Sorry about that!
