Russia Responds To Obama Snub

Zero Hedge ^ | 8-7-13 | Tyler Durden

[Mogger]

This is all a smokescreen to make Zero look tough with the Russians.

Meanwhile, in the background Zero is spending 700 million dollars buying helicopters from the Russians to give to Afghanistan.

While giving helicopters to ANY Muslim nation is stupid, at least he could give them American built ones.

That would be over 60 American built engines plus spares.

A certain Fortune 500 turbine engine manufacturer in the US has been asking for volunteers in the helicopter engine dept. to transfer to other areas as business is slow.

[Raebie]

Hey Barack. How do your precious Muslim countries treat gays? Got a problem with *that*?

[NFHale]

“...Sorry about that!...”

No need, brother. Sickoflibs has a well-honed sense of sarcasm.

We’re all on the same side. One Team, One Fight.

[NFHale]

Yeah, I figured as much. There’s always more going on than just what’s on the face of things.

“..to make Zero look tough...”

That’s difficult in ANY situation. A joke, at best

[stephenjohnbanker]

LMAO!

Putin is making a fool out of Obama. And Putin hates homos, so he will doubtless tweak Obama even harder now : )

[stephenjohnbanker]

I was hoping SOL would catch a few more fish with this, but alas : )

[NFHale]

“...I was hoping SOL would catch a few more fish with this...”

Yeah, well, get this - I saw the “we need to get behind Obama” at a glance and it made me look for duct tape to wrap my head in before I read the full context of it... hahah!!

I thought “Ol’ Sick is losing it...they finally got to him”... For about a second, that is...

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

THE PRESIDENT: Well, the truth is, is that when we have meetings we can have some pretty blunt exchanges and animated exchanges. But he’s got — that seems to be his preferred style during press conferences, is sitting back and not looking too excited. (Laughter.) Now, part of it is he’s not accustomed to having press conferences where you’ve got a bunch of reporters yelling questions at you.

” I thought “Ol’ Sick is losing it...they finally got to him”... For about a second, that is...”

I have been around here long enough to spot an SOL scam immediately : )

[stephenjohnbanker]

[NFHale]

“...been around here long enough ...”

He still catches me off-guard now and then, the li’l scamp...

[USS Johnston]

0blama: "Now, part of it is [Putin's] not accustomed to having press conferences where you’ve got a bunch of reporters yelling questions at you."

Unmitigated bullsh*t and insult to anyone's IQ over 60. Not that any reporters "yell," nor questions actually answered. And if a few are answered, his answer to his hand-picked shills is a half hour's worth of uhhh...um....uhh...um...er...umm..."

5+ years later and 0blama has YET to answer the "bunch" of serious questions other than revealing his favorite ice cream flavor...and "If I had a son..."

Jake Tapper, the late witch, Helen Thomas, and Ed Henry are the ONLY reporters I can ever recall asking multiple questions at once that befuddled this horse-sh*t artist. And that was looong ago.

OBAMA HAS BEEN HIDING FROM THE PRESS SINCE DAY ONE

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

I agree, O and Putin both control their press events with an iron hand, but in case O accidentally gets in a tight spot he wiggles out of it or leaves.

[USS Johnston]

0BAMA HAS BEEN HIDING FROM THE PRESS SINCE DAY ONE

True dat...

Softball questions, non-answers, nerfball questions, horse-crap answers..the entire Presser for 5 straight years has been a charade. He's not sufficiently answered ONE serious question and the Press has not followed up on 1001 issues and questions AT ALL.

To witness this farce is a a Twilight Zone tragic-comedy. The WWII German Press and Pravda in the USSR demanded more than our shills and paid Stepford Press Corp.

[USS Johnston]

In case O accidentally gets in a tight spot he wiggles out of it or leaves.

Yup. And the Press either giggles or immediately shut up like a bunch of Quaalude-ingested 1st graders obediently reacting to their Principal.

Contrast that to their relentless doggedness in the case of either W Bush or Reagan.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” Softball questions, non-answers, nerfball questions, horse-crap answers..the entire Presser for 5 straight years has been a charade.”

And 90+ percent of the press is on his side. He can’t even face THEM.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I quit reading American newspapers a few years ago. The UK papers often tell the truth, whereas ours almost never do.

[USS Johnston]

And 90+ percent of the press is on his side. He can’t even face THEM

Another great observation...

All he does is send out Jay "Art" Carney to babble infantile nonsense and fairy tales to his 90% sycophant press, NEVER EVER answering the 1001 charges of defending scandal after scandal. Moreover, NEVER does are Press curious enough as to why Gangsta-0 never answers them personally. And never do the Pubbie "Leadership" pose the SAME question.)
