The Obama administration offered to work on Sochi Olympics security issues with Russia after a pair of bombings in Volgograd killed at least 31 people.

President Vladimir Putin gave instructions to the National Anti-Terrorism Committee “to step up security measures across all of Russia and specifically in Volgograd region,” the Kremlin said Monday. “The president will receive daily reports from the NAC on the measures being taken along with regular situation reports.”

Putin had not emerged to make a personal statement on the bombings, which occurred at a train station and on a bus.

The train station bomber was reportedly Pavel Pechyonkin, a former paramedic who converted to Islam and joined militants in Dagestan. In March, Pechyonkin’s parents videotaped a plea to their son to drop his arms and come home. “I don’t believe that Allah has ever said that one must kill people,” his mother said. “…Imagine that somebody were to kill your parents, how would that make you feel? Why are you turning children into orphans?”

Pechyonkin taped his own video response. “Why should we follow those Christian commandments, when Allah, may he be glorified, urges us to fight those kafirs. Why shouldn’t we leave their children orphaned?” he said. “…I am not inventing anything from the Koran, I am reading.”

National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement today that “the United States condemns the terrorist attacks that struck the Russian city of Volgograd and sends deepest condolences to the families of the victims with hopes for the rapid healing of those wounded.”

I think Obama uses “folks” to designate people he despises. It’s one of many oblique signals he sends his people—they’re people, not folks.

Have you ever heard him say “legislation for those gay and transgender folks?”

24 Russians murdered by muslim terrorists is “mischief” and 4 Americans killed in Benghazi is a bump in the road.

we can’t even protect against people we got warned about, no one will take us seriously, we would be over there searching old ladies and kids in wheel chairs while the terrorists waltzed by

Are these the same folks responsible for security at the Mexican border?

And I don’t think it’s possible for me to hate a human being any more than I do Obama. I loathe, despise, abhor, detest him.

Many in the News business refer to terrorists and murderers, pedophiles as “gentlemen” too.

It always disgusts me. Those people are not gentlemen.

“And I don’t think it’s possible for me to hate a human being any more than I do Obama. I loathe, despise, abhor, detest him.”..

Ya beat me to it.

[ilovesarah2012]

I’m always open to new words. Those are all I could think of on by first cup of coffee.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I don't think it is possible to sound more stupid.

Folksy talking down to Putin is going to go over real well.
