Meeting with Russian PM Turns into a Lecture on the Cold War, and Concessions
prometheus clarion ^ | July 8, 2009 | Gerard Group

As predicted in our exclusive Gerard Group interview with Konstantin Preobrezhensky , a naïve and submissive President Obama allowed himself to be manipulated and manhandled by Vladimir Putin during his first visit to the Russian Republic.

Obama's meeting with Prime Minister Putin revealed an American president unprepared to face the Russian bear.

Instead of the intended discussion of issues, including Iran, North Korea, war in Georgia , etc., Putin launched into a rambling monologue about the history of the Cold War.

The Russian Prime Minister's lecture took a full hour to conclude, after which there was precious little of the allotted time left for President Obama to apologize sufficiently for American transgressions during the Cold War era and the intervening years leading up to his presidency.

When asked about Obama's obvious abasement at the hands of Prime Minister Putin, Michael McFaul, the president’s Russia adviser responded; “I dare you to think of a summit that was so substantive.”

To better appreciate the Russian mentality and the reasons President Obama's Kremlin visit ended as a squandered opportunity, don't miss Gerard Group's exclusive interview series with former KGB Lt. Colonel Konstantin Preobrezhensky.

"Obama himself is responsible for this situation, first with his reference to the need to "reset" relations and then with his eagerness to please his hosts in Moscow by speaking about a U.S. evaluation of whether a proposed anti-missile shield based in Eastern Europe would actually work," Visiting Scholar at the School of Advanced International Studies under the Johns Hopkins University Satter said.

The mirror opposite of Ronald Reagan.

With the mirror opposite results, eventually.

What a unaccomplished, dissembling, Marxist clown.

Long legged Mack Daddy??

Buffoon?

“We’re all livin’ in Daley Town now”!

Until now I never cared how other people saw the United States. For once in my life...I am ashamed of my country. Or at least how Obama represents us.

0 is a man that cannot, innately, see the wrong in communism. Therefore he cannot, innately, see the evil of the Soviet Empire and accordingly is a fish out of water discussing the Cold War.

I would say that Ronald Reagan getting out of the car in Reykjavik and telling Gorby to shove it, leaving him alone, angry, and dumbfounded, was much more substantive. LOL

Typical sycophant blather.

It’s a good thing Obortion’s skin is the color of human excrement so it’s not so obvious where his nose has been every time he’s in the company of other commie megalomaniacs.

Obama got tossed around by Putin like a rag doll.

Remember that the KGB has files on William Ayers and other radicals that Obama associated with.
