Russia dismisses Obama as lame duck after US sanctions
NY Post ^ | December 29, 2016 | David K. Li

Russia dismissed President Obama as a “lame duck” Thursday in a biting tweet sent in response to his expulsion of dozens of diplomats from the US.

“President Obama expels 35 (Russian flag) diplomats in Cold War deja vu. As everybody, incl (American flag) people, will be glad to see the last of this hapless Adm,” Russia’s UK embassy tweeted.

The snarky words came with a picture of a duckling and the word “LAME” across in.

Obummer, almost, as useless as, his golf score card.

Wonder if Obama will try something more provocative. And will the military obey it.

Actually, I think everyone at the inauguration should salute our outgoing preezie...a middle finger salute, of course.

Considering how lame 0duckless is the Russians were being very diplomatic.
Charitable even.

I note that the Russian Embassy felt the need to only use the truth in their response.

Just keep telling yourself that this is just a “bad movie”; it’ll help us all get through the next 22 days. :-)

LAME? The duck is still attempting to crawl. Putin would do well to just laugh at him, knowing that he is only a target straw man used to the purple-lipped boy’s advantage.

It is less expensive, and risky, to keep Obama on vacation until January 20. It may be prudent for the competent authorities to question all his orders going forward.

Putin is a thug, but damn... you have to hand it to him for being the adult in the room next to Osama’s juvenile tantrum throwing. HiTech, you called it right the other day: he’s not a lame duck, he’s a SHOT DOWN duck!

And THAT is what's SO funny! LOL

There's a rather old saying: FIRST IT'S TRAGEDY, THEN, WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, IT'S FARCE.

This is really just a bad remake movie, combining DR. STRANGELOVE, THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, THE BEST MAN, and a few TWILIGHT ZONE episodes, with one from the original STAR TREK.
