What is Russian for balderdash and humbug?

Russia Today

We all know it was 0bama that led to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, right?

Does this help?

[LeoWindhorse]

Obama need to be impeached for gross negligence and ineptitude . He is unworthy to lead our country . Let him return to social activism in South side Chicago

[SamuraiScot]

Heilbrunn is a Communist—a die-hard Soviet loyalist from the days of the Red Empire. My guess is that’s why he’s also loyal to Ubama. To unworthily borrow a Gospel phrase, “To whom will we go, Lord?”

Commies hate Putin. Putin is a lot of things, Commie isn't one of them.

My prediction is that there will be one, and only one person who will be found to be able to deal with Putin, and at the same time protect the sovereignty of Ukraine, while simultaneously keeping the world safe for women and children. Yes folks, this orchestrated drama, this crisis in World history, can and only be resolved by the one, the only, bullet dodging, commodities trading, healthcare impressario of every totalitarian left wing dream, that globetrotting great communicator of peace, Hillary Rodham Clinton, The Savior.

[Army Air Corps]

That is some serious spin. I became dizzy just reading the headline.

You know you're preaching to the new Useful Idiots?

[SkyDancer]

Actually all this is very interesting watching 0bama play at being a leader of some sort. Putin in playing chess while 0bama is shooting marbles.

[dfwgator]

More like Obama is playing Tiddlywinks.

[2111USMC]

I think I’m gonna puke.

[Kozak]

“Pravda” and “ Izvestia”...

[SkyDancer]

Ah, but Tidlywinks takes a bit of finesse - some accuracy. I’m still thinking past marbles to him watching an ant farm and taking his cue’s from them.

Living rent-free in Commie heads every day...that “ditz” Palin.

Putin is a lot of things, Commie isn't one of them.

Putin is the former head of the KGB. He knows exactly how to behave as something that is different from what he really is. He has been quite adept at having people to believe that he isn't what he really is.

The peak of the Soviet Empire is what Putin is looking to bring back. That empire was built under the force of communism and tyrannical rule. Putin is still a communist, even if he's managed to convince a lot of the world that he isn't. Obama, on the other hand, has been as adept as Putin about convincing a huge part of a country that he is not a communist either. Both present a persona that is quite different from their real sinister selves.

[dfwgator]

More “Russian Empire” than “Soviet Empire”. The Soviets weren’t Nationalistic, like Putin is.

Jacob Heilbrunn is a writer. People who are writers are generally only that, they have no other apparent skills, avocations, or accomplishments. They write. It seems that Heilbrunn does not even do that very well, except when he uses other people’s words.

I don’t know whose words he is using this time, but no doubt he got them over the transom from the Obama story tellers over at the White House busy spinning another fantasy tale about their dear leader.
