SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine, July 24, 2010 (AFP) - Leaving a cloud of dust in his wake, a black-clad Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin roared into a rally in Ukraine on a Harley Davidson and hailed bikes as a "symbol of freedom".

Putin drove into the rally of bikers on the southern Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea astride a gigantic three-wheeled Lehman trike conversion Harley Davidson motorbike, wearing dark glasses and waving his black gloved hands.

Get your motor running
Head on Highway
Watch Adventure
and everything that comes our way
So cute ‘ go to do so to take the world embrace
of love all your cannons Fire immediately
And explode into space

I like smoke and heavy metal
Thunder lightning racing with wind
And clearly, I am
So cute ‘ to do so to take the world embrace
of love all your cannons Fire immediately
And explode into space

As the true nature of the child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so much I never want to die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Ha ha! Bing translator!

The Obamas need to call in the Dog Whisperer.

They have lost control of the dog, and the dog is in charge. It’s probably symbolic of the way Obama presidents (’presidents’ being a verb).

I think you’re right. Wish he was on our side. It’s scary that the head of Russia is more of a free marketer than the head of the US.

I figured that, but I love the reverse translation because it highlights the differences in the meaning of the respective idioms.

Remember the old Saturday Night Live sketch where Bill Murray played an Hispanic game show host of a show called "Quien Es Mas Macho?" That's what I'm reminded of with this juxtaposition:

Quien Es Mas Macho?

Obama on a Harley would be like Dukakis in that tank a number of years ago.

It would be funny to watch Obama riding a Harley. He is too feminine. No doubt he may try and do it though to look tough.

"It's the boldest, the quickest transport and gives the biker the sweet feeling of freedom," said Putin.

"Without any exaggeration you can say that a bike is a symbol of freedom," added the Russian strongman.

He may be an evil SOB but at least he's a man. He talks like an American too.
What do we have? A friggin' little pussy who talks like Pee Wee Marx. :-(

Putin looks like Yul Brynner. Why is that?

Because both are of Russian heritage?

Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin rides Harley Davidson Lehman Trike as he arrives for the meeting with Russian and Ukrainian motorbikers at their camp near Sevastopol in Ukraine's Crimea Peninsula, Saturday, July 24, 2010. Russian flag is in the background. Putin has lept on a Harley Davidson and roared into a international biker convention in southern Ukraine. Around 5,000 bikers from Europe and beyond are gathered in Sevastopol for the annual festival on Ukraine's Crimea peninsula.
