Russia Mocks Obama's 'Lame Duck' Status After New Sanctions
Washington Times ^ | December 29, 2016 | Douglas Ernst

Russia used social media on Thursday to mock President Obama after he expelled diplomats and imposed a new round of sanctions on the nation.

Alleged meddling by Russian intelligence agencies into aspects of the 2016 U.S. president election prompted Mr. Obama to oust 35 Russian suspected spies and hit nine entities and individuals with sanctions. Russia’s U.K. embassy responded by taunting the commander in chief’s “lame duck” status.

“President Obama expels [Russian] 35 diplomats in Cold War deja vu. As everybody, incl [sic] [American] people, will be glad to see the last of this hapless Adm,” the embassy tweeted.

An image of a duck with the words “lame” superimposed over it accompanied the message.

“These actions follow repeated private and public warnings that we have issued to the Russian government, and are a necessary and appropriate response to efforts to harm U.S. interests in violation of established international norms of behavior,” Mr. Obama said in a statement Thursday night.

The Obama administration also shut down two Russian compounds in New York and Maryland that were allegedly used for Russian “intelligence-related purposes.”

The world sees the Liberal Messiah as a joke. Unfortunately, we’ve been the punchline for 8 years.

I’m starting to smell real fear on Obama’s part here. That’s the only thing that explains his (even for him) erratic behavior.

They will have to break an eight year habit in the Kremlin that Putin started, that is, referring to POTUS as “That homo in the White House”

Silly, childish and vindictive are the words used in many countries to describe this administration.

They are going to remove “Russian Intelligence”. BHO has been very successful in removing intelligence, Kerry, Biden, Pelosi and the DNC are proof of that.

Only doing this for political consumption to give credence to the lie concerning Russian Hacking having an effect on the election in favor of Trump. What a POS. We have a real creep in the White House who only uses the WH for political purposes. He must really hate America.

I'm sorry...I know I shouldn't, but damned if I ain't rootin' for Putin in this catfight.

Obama looks like the kid in the sand box that has just had his castle stomped.

The next thing, he'll be crying for mama.

Ball-less, worthless, ignorant piece of shit.

Contrast snowflaked obammed generation to Russian men Russian Men Most Russian families prepare their boys to become future men in early childhood. Parents encourage their sons to play with toy guns and rejoice when boys can stand up for themselves. Every Russian man internalizes such principles as not letting others to hurt himself or his family, being able to physically challenge an attacker, protecting the weak, and always resisting an urge to cry. Behind the brick wall ... most Russian males strongly believe that their calling in life is to protect and provide for their family, support their parents, children and wife. Russians even have a saying to describe men - как за каменной стеной which means "as if behind the stone wall". The saying is used in the sense that a man is strong and reliable like a solid wall behind which a woman can hide and forget all her fears and worries.
