C’mon, you know your friends wife is just one of those rich Russians. The White Russians I guess... Probably voted for a living relative of the Czar in the last election. </sarcasm>
“...if you wanted a car for your kid you had to order it when he was born so it would be delivered in time for his 18th birthday.”
And the dad wanted to know if the delivery would be in the morning or afternoon because he was expecting the plumber to come in the morning?
Well, considering the amount of money he spent corresponding with her over the internet, the money he spent traveling there to meet her, then the money spent on getting her released from the Ukraine and flying her to the U.S., you could say he "bought" her..........LOL! She's a lovely gal for my buddy......
I do too and you are right. As a side note, there is an elderly Russian greeter at my local Meijer's store with the same accent.......perfect english but the accent.
OMG, you want to set my buddy's wife off on a broken English tirade, just mention Muslims and cover your ears...........LOL!
Close, she was the red-headed stepchild..... :)
I have worked with a lot of Russians. Sounds normal to me.
Putin: Obama Idiot For Adopting Socialism
MOSCOW (SR) Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has warned the Obama administration against adopting further socialism, saying Russian history clearly proves it is a recipe for failure.
Any fourth grade history student knows socialism has failed in every country, at every time in history, said Putin. President Obama and his fellow Democrats are either idiots or deliberately trying to destroy their own economy.
Economists say Putins comments serve to illustrate how worldwide markets have made even economic adversaries dependent on each others financial stability.
An Obama spokesman dismissed Putins claim, saying, Were going to do socialism better.

Even Putin sees Obamas Socialism. Wealth is not the Problem. Poverty is the problem. Wealth is the solution.
Its hard to take a break when so much is happeningespecially when so much of it is destroying our freedom and our ability to improve our lives through wealth creation.
Here is an article I just learned about. It was posted February 11th and is reporting on a speech by Putin given January 28th.
Putin Warns US About Socialism
In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the states role absolute, Putin said during a speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.*
Why has this not made more headlines?
Why does a Communist from Russia need to warn the President of the United States about the dangers of central planning?
What is going on here?
Where is the outrage?
