It is nice to know that with all he has on his plate, Obama and team still have time for the really important stuff.

Are the Pussy Riot folks liberals, Democrats, Republicans, or Communists?

I think I would find the one to the left “not guilty”.

Americans seem to care more about Pussy Riot than the Russians do. This was a publicity stunt that didn’t go over well. If the US authorities had stood up to the crap pulled by leftists years ago, the US wouldn’t be in the mess it’s in now...

Never says a word about Christian persecution around the world or the Saudi theocratic government seizing and destroying privately owned Bibles.

...we have concerns about the way these young women were treated by the Russian judicial system.

However, the Zero has no concerns about how conservative women are treated by the American traitor left, how Catholic women in Mexico are treated by narco terrorists using US government supplied weapons, or how the Muslim Brotherhood governments in Algeria, Egypt, and Libya are murdering, raping and stoning Christian and other women.

That's all good, ...and DemoRat.

The understory here is that Russia now has rule of law and the US has rule of protected classes.

If ya want a show trial now, ya need to go to court in America.
