President Laughingstock: Russian mockery has taken a bizarre turn. Hilarious, if it weren't so sad.

Russian mockery of President Obama has taken a bizarre turn. The newly elected Prime Minister of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, has tweeted (in Russian) a photoshopped image of Barack Obama in a Russian military uniform, implying that our president’s behavior can be explained by his purported status as a deep cover Russian agent.
Интересно, после проведения успешной компании по возвращению Крыма, Барак получит полковника?

Oleg Atbashian of The People’s Cube, a former Soviet propagandist who fled to the West, has a fascinating post explaining what is going on here.
Such a jab could have easily come from conservative jokesters in the U.S., as a way to vent their bitterness over Obama's inept handling of international affairs and squandering America's standing in the world. It could have also come from those Russians and Ukrainians who are opposed to Putin's imperial policies. But why would a pro-Russian separatist with a shady past, who is himself very likely working on orders from Moscow, out his alleged "colleague"?
As someone who frequents the Russian-language side of the blogosphere, let me explain.
The Crimean PM's question wasn't a standalone joke, but rather a punch line to an earlier anonymous joke with a Photoshopped picture of Barack Obama, seen on various Russian websites and forums since he first became president.
The picture was a mock-up of a KGB personnel file with a photo of Obama wearing the uniform of a KGB lieutenant with three stars on blue epaulettes. The name on the card is listed as Boris Huseinovich Obamov, a spy and saboteur, born in Uzbekistan and of Uzbek ethnicity, a member of United Russia Party, recruited by Vladimir Putin

I do to. Even if the premise were true, the commie lady would not openly brag about it in the company of capitalists. She’d keep her mouth shut. Iron discipline of the Party and all that.

Marxist. Kenyan born, gay, Muslim Marxist. Not socialist.

Apocryphal story or not, I certainly believe this part: ...[he] has been raised from the cradle to be an atheist and a Communist.

After almost six years of obama you find it hard to believe? What else makes more sence as far as it’s history is concerned?

Boris Huseinovich Obamov Now that's funny right there.
And also wrong. If you're going to fake a Russian name, at least do it the right way: given name, patronymic, family name, so something like:
Barack Barackovitch Husseinov
Or, if you prefer,
Barack Frankovich Marshallov

Yup, if it talks like a Marxist, has its closest advisors who are Marxists, and acts like a Marxist, it is probably a Marxist.

Geez, this is probably closer to the truth than to humor.
If Hussein was a Communist agent, what would he be doing differently?

Probably when Obama looks like he’s actually gonna do something to hurt Putin...which hasn’t been an issue so far.

I find that entire hing hard to believe. I'll tell you what I find hard to believe. That the most empty of all empty suits, without ever holding a real full time job, without ever having any professional, political or academic record of accomplishment, was elected as President of the United States without the help of an anti-American cabal. Communist, muslim or both.

Boris Huseinovich Obamov misses the old C.C.C.P. but found a new place for it here.

Obama whispers that he will have more flexibility after he is reelected.
Putin responds: So will I.

I really wish Putin would release everything that the Russians have on Obama, but I think they would hold off for a better time. No reason to... Barky is just being "flexible," as he promised Medvedev.
