They are going to wish that they never heard let alone used the word Russian, before this is over!

Obama and the Russian President at this time didn’t realize that their microphone was still on.

Obama apologizes to the Russian president for not doing more for the Russians. That he would do more after his second election.

Russian president for not doing more for the Russians. That he would do more after his second election.

Let your ears tell you that Obama was a Russian tool! Watch and listen to the video linked below:
