Politico’s fake “hard questions” could have asked Barack Obama why he’s planning to visit Russia and a bunch of other countries while he still has no plans to visit Israel. Their fake “hard questions” could have needled Obama about the “flexibility” that he promised the Russians he would use to give them stuff they want in a second term.
I’m laughing about all this, in a morose sort of way.
“US President Barack Obama has confirmed plans to visit Russia at the invitation of his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, the Russian president’s spokesman said on Tuesday,” the Russian outlet reports. “Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Obama made the statement when Putin called a second time to congratulate the US president on his reelection.”
RIA Novosti quotes Putin’s spokesman as saying, “Obama thanked [Putin] for the congratulations and the invitation and confirmed his readiness to come to Russia at a date to be agreed by the two sides. … Putin wished his US counterpart success in forming his new team,” he said, adding that the two presidents confirmed their interest in “progressive development of bilateral relations in all spheres, including the economy.”
Interesting that we’re finding out what the American president is doing from the Russian oligarchs, no?
Unless Obama’s “flexibility” bit was some sort of promise to join Putin in a yoga class, the American people really should get some answers as to what Obama has in mind. But good luck getting those answers. It’s not gonna happen. Obama cobbled his majority together through a combination of locking in the hard left, who don’t care what he does as long as he’s not a Republican, attracting the idiocracy vote that watches cable re-runs all day and have no idea what they really voted for, and who therefore don’t care what he does, some cheating here and there in those precincts that didn’t deliver Romney a single vote, buying votes paid for from the public treasury, and a media that also doesn’t really care what he does as long as he’s not a competent Republican who actually has the skills needed to turn the economy around.
Obama could go to Russia and give them Alaska while announcing his decision to disband the entire US military, and the media would either ignore it or applaud his peacemaking wisdom and visionary leadership.
Of course we will get no answers. Cultural imperium of the Left, and all.
I wish Putin well in getting what he wants. Why bother fighting it? America belongs to everybody but the Americans whose ancestors built it.
Possible explanation:
Putin heard about the generals being purged, rushed to send Obama shirtless appreciation photos in the email account where they save draft emails (hotline phones are for enemies, joint email for political lovebirds) and from there he didn’t even need to wait for the reply. Their relationship is going to a whole new level. Putin knew the trip would be set in motion from that point on and he just prematurely announced it.
And 60 millions Americans would clap their hands. And elect Michelle president in 2016.
My prediction – whatever Obama has on his mind, it ain’t gonna end up being good for the US.
Betrayal won’t be uncovered by those who willingly advance it.
The small c communist is going to visit the big c communist. Tyranny two step.
And the concubines of tyranny in academia, Hollywood and mass media strap on their kneepads while providing their fellatious (is that how you spell that?) coverups and distortions.
I don’t have any problem with Obama going to Russia. I’m just afraid he’ll come back.
Well, now that he has that “flexibility” he was touting to Medvedev, ol’ Vlad will be waiting with open arms. The only consolation in this most horrible electoral debacle is that the morons and frauds who got this clown puppet re-elected will also be on the receiving end of his tyrannical reign. Hillary is waiting in the wings for 2016.
Don’t you worry, Sly, about the “morons and frauds”. The Fraud in Chief will have to keep buying them off, and he will — for so long as there is anything left to squeeze out of the rest of us. After all, it won’t be Hillary to worry about in 2016! It will be that woman already in the West Wing, you know, the one who “hated America” — and probably still does. The one who thinks we are all of us “too fat”, and need to have our rations cut, aka Moochelle. Depending on how the 2014 elections go, the MSM and DNC may well conclude that she could be “electable”, and start to push for that. Given our current state of affairs, and our dim immediate future, all bets are off concerning how that might pan out. Beware!
