Obama Dines In, to Some Russians' Distaste
New York Times ^ | July 7, 2009 | PETER BAKER

Posted on 07/07/2009 11:29:17 AM PDT by FocusNexus

After passing on dinner with the French president to take a date in the City of Light with his wife last month, President Obama took leave of his Russian hosts on Tuesday night to seclude himself in his Moscow hotel with Michelle and their daughters.

The decision to brush off the Russians on one of his two nights here miffed some in the Moscow government who did not understand why he would not devote the scarce time to his hosts.

Mr. Obama has seemed tired here, several times fumbling the pronunciation of Mr. Medvedev’s name and Mr. Putin’s title. Beginning a speech here, he mistakenly said he first met his wife in school instead of at the law firm where they actually met. And he misstated his youngest daughter’s age.

How are we supposed to know anything about our Resident if he himself doesn't know anything about himself???!!!

Yesterday I spoke with my mom :)

She said that zero would have no problems communicating in Russia because he studied Russian in school and should be fluent. She also said that he met mooshelle in Russian class. Thus they both speak ruskie

To this, I said "hmmmmmmmmmm... I thought he met her in a law firm.

Maybe she was a mail order bride, they met in the back of the classified ads ROFL

His popularity is tanking. Pretty soon he’ll be talking to the pictures on the walls of the White House.

But, to be fair, “Myed vye dyev” ain’t easy to pronounce.

Had a funny thought...

say he DID meet one of his girlfriends at school,
and Michelle knows about it...

Yep, he’s in the doghouse.

How does someone make a mistake like this?

He must've been thinking of his girlfriend...not his wife.

Yeah, I like the bra straps and big, fat, ass she has.

Nothing says “class” like a crusty bra strap.

Read Jerome Corsi’s book, Obama Nation.

BHO was very clear and very precise. He wants to scrap our ballistic missile defense program. He’s in Moscow right now trading it away.

We would be fools to underestimate BHO. He has already achieved much of his agenda. With Franken now in the Senate they now have filibuster proof majorities.

I only wish BHO was a bumbling liberal idiot like Jimmy Carter. BHO is a dedicated Marxist whose every waking hour is spent thinking of ways into turning this nation into a socialist monstrosity.

It will be VERY difficult to reverse all the damage he has already accomplished. and just wait until Cap and Trade become law and we have national healthcare. It will all be very difficult to undue.

My fellow FREEPERS: DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, so we not only have to foot the bill for the girls but granny as well? And instead of at least sightseeing and learning about Moscow, they’re holed up in the hotel with granny “maybe” making dolls??? If nothing else take them to that huge ferris wheel they can see out their window. What the heck was the reason for taking them over in the first place???

Yes.

He is a neo-nomenklatura.

Obama is very aloof, and he seems the classic introvert.

I think while some introverted leaders force themselves to experience the personal discomfort of social environments for the good of the organization they lead, I believe Obama's selfishness, narcissism, and naivete prevent him from putting forth the effort needed to do his job.

They really should get a smaller, portable version of TOTUS for him. It could be called POTOTUS.

Oh, wait. He has a Blackberry. Same diff....
