I knew there was something I liked about those old Ruskies.
To: maccaca
Kirill Zagorodnov, 25, one of the graduates. Its a question of trust, how he behaves, how he positions himself, that typical charisma, which in Russia is often parodied. Russians really are not accustomed to it. It is like he is trying to manipulate the public. One Russian who gets it.

I'm sure that they were equally unimpressed by his fashion goddess spouse.

Any Russian speakers out there? I can only imagine the slurs they must utter about those two behind their backs.

"respectful, but hardly enthralled"Would that the Russians could export such sobriety to the United States.

Moscow has greeted Mr. Obama... as if he were just another dignitary passing through.
Obama's visit was a political disaster; it will take much effort and treasury to recover from which. However, for NYT, the real horror is an absence of signs of Obama's cult following among Muscovites?!!"Just another dignitary"?!! How could they!

So the Russkis weren’t impressed with Michelle’s “glamour?”
Damn. The eunuchs in Obama’s “media” said she was going to knock the Russkis socks off. Guess they were wrong again. As usual.

I guess the commie NYT’s can’t understand why their commie thug wasn’t accepted in all places a former commie country. Most likely it’s cause of Pravda’s articles OR they can actually see through the fraud.

The media assumption with Bush was that when people didn’t like him they were picking up that obviously something was wrong with him and his policies.
Whem people don’t like Obama and his policies, the media assumption is that there is something wrong with them.

Russians lived under Socialists like Obama for over 70 years. They have probably had their fill of the likes of him and can sense them from a distance.
