You are welcome.
2 amazing things happened: Hillary and her staffers did not bother to check with any native language speaker. What America has no shortage of is native speakers of any language, and its hundreds of thousands of Russian speakers in the Boston-DC corridor. Some things just do not translate well. RESET has a wealth of meanings that Russian language - otherwise rich and powerful - simply does not provide in this case.
Second. Media accepted Lavrov’s translation without a fact check, right-wing talk radio including.
All the word-play on overcharge in financial sense was factually wrong.
Hilariously, I have to defend Hillary’s spin of an “overworked” staffer’s mistake as being more true to the “overload”.
“overload”
1st I’ve heard of the overload translation. If that is the case, it sounds like more of a Freudian slip to me then..
Don’t the Alinski - Cloward/Pliven groupies want to overload our system into failure?
See my post #21. I was amazed that Lavrov’s words were not checked. What, he can’t be wrong? Talk radio fell for it as well.
If we are exploring analogies, I think it can be an “eject” button to hit when we overloaded and start to disintegrate. Where would we land?
I don’t think Britain wanted “special treatment”. I think we we wanted to be treated with a bit of respect.
Is this how Obama would treat his enemies?
Maybe, as it is in America it is a de-emphasis on “Proper English” and replaced by a slang term or street language.
Like overloading or overcharging a credit card. Not precise but it gets the point across.
But whether it was overload” or“overcharge”.it definitely wasn't "reset"
Not what one would want representing an country, much less an super power.
It really is Barry Sotero’s Amateur Hour at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. He is incompetent, inept, clumsy and in over his head. All that said I wouldn’t be surprised if our afro-centric muslim in chief sisn’t deliberately snub Brown to prove to his eastern allies that it really is a new day in American - Terror sponsoring state relations.
...”the Obama administration says the president was too tired.”
Yah right, dude... Is the Obama regime referring to the Obama who tirelessly campaigned for months without respite?
Such a lie.
That’s a progressive socialist diplomat.

When friendship really matters, you show it!
Maybe Gordon Brown would have been better served if he would have brought Lord Nazir Ahmed, a Pakastani and Labour member of the House of Lords with him also.

And you deserve to be treated with respect.
Britain has stood by America through thick and thin. The ties between us are ancient, sacred...more so than any short-sighted, dimwit American politician can imagine.
I hope it was not intentional, because I fail to see any good served by it. Stupidity and unprofessionalism are bad enough.
Just wait until he has a meeting with Queen Elizabeth and gives her a DVD's of Mandingo and Guess Who's Coming To Dinner.
Hillary won’t be able to spell “reset”
I'm afraid to say this fatigue issue would not be an issue but for the shock of the rigors of the job. How can this be?
Not saying this just to throw dirt at the President, but all accounts indicate it is true: he has never had to work hard in his life - except perhaps at Harvard. Whether it was the status, a salve for his own insecurity, the fancy house, airplane, and perks, or the mistaken notion he would be a ruler rather than a president of a free constitutional republic -- he clearly underestimated the job.
Close, but no cigar.
:D
