RUSSIA BRUSHES OFF OBAMA: NO 'HAGGLING'
Drudge Report ^ | 3 Mar 2009 | Drudge

Posted on 03/03/2009 6:20:49 AM PST by edpc

Russian President Dmitri Medvedev on Tuesday showed willingness to discuss the US-planned missile defence system opposed by Moscow, but without 'haggling' linking it to Iran.

Medvedev was commenting during a visit to Spain on an alleged offer by US President Barack Obama to halt the defence system if Iran could be convinced to give up nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero in Madrid, Medvedev welcomed the 'positive signals' coming from the Obama administration with which he hoped to reach 'agreements.'

That’s quite a definition of “haggling,” taking our co-offer right off the table. 0 is in way over his head, I hope he doesn’t give away too much of the farm. (But he probably will.)

“Putin is going to play the kid like a fiddle. Just damn.”

Yep - we all knew it would happen because Joe BIden told us so! Remember, “Nobody messes with Joe!”

It is amateur hour at the White House. Unfortunately for the country this stand up routine will last 4 years...

An unforced concession is no way to open a negotiation - what a Maroon!

America is losing political influence in the world daily with this idiot novice in the White House. It also emboldens our enemies daily as well.

Kruschev merely toyed with JFK compared to what Putin can do with 0 if he has a mind to.

Putin doesn't have to play Obama. Obama is playing Europe. Obama does not want to protect Europe and he doesn't really care if Iran bombs our European allies. Obama wants the whole world to bow to his One World government. The threat of Iranian nuclear bombs hitting Europe might be just the thing to get Europe to remember how much they depend on the US.

Obama is doing the same thing to Israel by supporting the Palestian state.

In a way, this is refreshing: Obama gets a lesson that he is not worshiped abroad by other national leaders.

If only huge chunks of the American people could learn the lesson: Obama does not equal Messiah.

He's not going to like it when he walks in the room and they're not all on their feet cheering him on.

I think Putin sees an unstable, broken America is bad for Russia. That would be smart. His best play is to make Obama continue to look like the high-functioning-autistic spiteful fool he is. Autism is a state of being, it was Obama’s choice to play it into spite and jealousy, it could have been played into great goodness, now it has become destruction.

OBambi is so far in over his head that you can barely see his butt.
