The Russians have years of experience identifying fraudulent fools. Berry O’setaro is nothing but another socialist stooge parading around like he's something special.

We don’t really understand why Obama is such a star,” said Kirill Zagorodnov, 25, one of the graduates.

That's because the Russian aren't infected with the white guilt that infects all too many white Americans and western whites in general. Not only is there nothing special about Obama, he is the least qualified person to ever win a major presidential nomination, let alone the presidency.

Teleprompter reading is about the only talent Obama has displayed so far.

Wonder if they are used to using pay-for-play schemes (otherwise known as Bribes) to get what they want, which is supposedly common in Chicago Politics. Putin OWNS them.

Putin doesn't seem the type to take bribes by Chicago Politicians, sure he might lead barry and shelly on, but that's as far as he'll go. Obama will assume that by disarming the US, he'll get political help with Iran. Putin will barely hint that he'll keep his end of the bribe, but in the short and long run, he'll do whatever he wants. Probably shouldn't attempt to bribe the KGB when it's obvious they aren't comfortable around girly men, or hunky women.

Guns, for the past year (only the past year) is used to people being intimidated by her. Doubt Putin is impressed nor intimidated by Barbie or Guns Obama. But who knows, maybe they are bonding over Russian Vodka and Chicago Style Pizza while disarming the United States of America.

The Russkies did not like 0. The German did not like him much either. Why _____ ?

Because 0 gave his Berlin speech at a location used by Hitler. But the location was infamous as a place of human sacrifice over 2000 years ago:

Coincidence? -- I Do Not Believe in Coincidence !

The deities of human sacrifice were Osiris, Jupiter, Zeus, Apollo. Hence the The Great Eye on the Pyramid or the Great Seal on the U.S. Dollar. In other words the Satanic origins of the NWO or the Illuminati.

First and foremost, he is a diabolical actor. He acts all the time, he works off cue cards, otherwise known as ‘Teleprompter Cards’. A teleprompter is a cue card, as he's an actor. Axelrod and Emmanuel run the White House Shop. Pelosi is a supporting player as well. CIA should have kicked her to the curb for her lies, hopefully they are still going to expose her evil ways. Barry is a celebrity, he loves being a celebrity. He is all about schmoozing. It's his shtick. Basically, he's an actor, salesperson, model who wants everyone to want him sexually. Men and Women. He shines when he's being lusted over.

Michelle feeds off the glory. She will destroy barry’s critics because it's a direct reflection on her and her lust for power, as well as her ability to keep a man from straying. And she expects to have Free ‘Everything’ for the rest of her life. She doesn't want to pay for anything. She wants position, adulation, magazine covers, photo shoots and accolades. She doesn't care about sex with Barry, or so it seems. Their relationship has a more brother/sister vibe. Not even, more a Hillary/Bill vibe. But she doesn't care, she is the most popular woman in the world. Or not, who knows, maybe they just want to spread the wealth, first and foremost to themselves and their friends.

Russians for the most part, are bigots. They do not like black people. So they will not fawn over Obama or Michelle and wonder really why Americans do. There is still some of that “superior race” going on in Putin’s land.

It’s very simple: Russians don’t like weak, wimpy leaders.

"It is like he is trying to manipulate the public"

Ya think??

ZerO's primary talent is manipulating America's government schooled nitwits who only see his media-cultivated rock-star persona but not the empty suit behind it. His 6 months in the White House should have shown anyone with half a brain that among his many disastrous failings he has no clue about fiscal matters, has bankrupted the US far beyond any possibility of recovery, is neutering our national defense establishment, and is hell-bent on turning the US into a fully socialized dictatorship.

Ironically, millions of ordinary Russians can see through his facade all the way to the empty suit, but millions of Americans can't, or won't. Maybe they will by November of 2012, but I expect the incredibly naive GOP primary voters to once again blow any possible opportunity to save the nation from the disaster that zerO is creating by nominating another ho-hum RINO so he can have his "turn" at getting his butt kicked.

With the O everything is pre-plotted. His handlers are more than cognizant of every evil historical aspect prior to instructing their 'anointed one'.

Since World War Two when has a candidate for the presidency ever made a 'European speech' where Adolph ranted & instigated the hordes of frenzied Nazis to total war? Obama was the very first.

'Comrade' Putin can spot an evil swine when he speaks with one. After all he sees one in the Kremlin mirror everyday of the week. Now Putin's puppet is another story, he seems to get along with the O.

Nice to know that Obama is in hiding while plotting his next trashing of our nation while he's in Russia. It's all about photo ops, but the Russians refuse to front that they respect him.

Wouldn't be surprised that this is THE only trip for Obama to Russia. Axelrod is all about PR. This trip is not only a dud, it has once again exposed Obama as a weak man. Axelrod will quickly pivot to ‘whatever’ in order to change the topic from O’s girly man appearances. Wonder why Axelrod wanted O out of the country and away from the Press during this week? Anything scandalous hitting the shelves this week? Emmanuel has met his match, Putin knows all about Emanuel's tactics and he isn't impressed. Bush kept us safe.

Not sure what the point of posting that picture is, since the woman is an Uzbek, not Russian.
