- MacroDaemon, on 07/07/2009, -2/+24First China preaching about the free market, now Russia's going to preach about democracy.
I guess we can expect North Korea becoming more active on the human rights propagation front. - hasslinthehoff, on 07/07/2009, -5/+26Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. That is, unless they turn into friends later on, but Obama's got the right idea anyways.
- Zomgondo, on 07/07/2009, -10/+30Obligatory "Obama is a socialist" comment.
- milkmit, on 07/07/2009, -2/+17Yes, because cutting all relations with a nation we don't agree 100% with has worked so damn well in the past (and present), hasn't it?
That ***** is and has always been childish, and it flat out DOESN'T WORK. There's adults in the White House now, so get used to it. If you want to solve problems in relationships (be it personal romantic, or political), the very first step it to talk with the other party and find common ground, NOT push them away or increase hostilities. - scoottie, on 07/07/2009, -2/+17All we need now is a Russian Czar .....
- Shogun213, on 07/07/2009, -8/+23Vladimir Putin is a badass.

- KahRahTay, on 07/07/2009, -3/+13hey you ***** butthurt retard,
he's still the Prime Minister of Russia, which is officially the second most powerful office in that country. - GrammerPants, on 07/07/2009, -0/+9You mean "what visit?"
- itsmikey, on 07/07/2009, -1/+10And unofficially, with Putin as the incumbent, the most powerful office in Russia.
Putin still runs the show. - ramiro, on 07/07/2009, -1/+9In Soviet Russia, the head of the KGB preaches democracy and free markets to US presidents.
- Beylan, on 07/07/2009, -1/+8Obama making offer to Putin:
Hey man, want to buy some US Treasury Bonds? They are the best man. Absolute primo quality. - MacParrot, on 07/07/2009, -0/+6AND CALL JENNY! 867-5309!
- TheInformer, on 07/07/2009, -5/+11China and Russia are heading towards free markets, while the United States heads to Statist Control. This sure ain't the 1950s.
- Ymeg, on 07/07/2009, -1/+6Vladimir Putin also warned the US about government intervention.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123317069332125243 ... - 3The3Dude3, on 07/07/2009, -1/+6I suspect that Putin is still "the guy" and does the bulk of the talking with the White House which led to the error. At least we didn't show up demanding that they push a button for overcharging us this time.
- Kate1240, on 07/07/2009, -1/+6"The U.S. president had upset Putin before traveling to Moscow by describing him in an interview as a man with one foot planted in the old ways of doing things. But he went out of his way on Tuesday to praise Putin's extraordinary work."
This quote from article was interesting.. - inactive, on 07/07/2009, -1/+6Nice to see one last place on earth where people aren't worshipping the ground Obama walks on. Russians are pretty skeptical about personality cults.
- paperclipsNsoup, on 07/07/2009, -4/+8*sniff *sniff
Smell that?
Yep, thats a troll. - shylove, on 07/07/2009, -1/+5prosperity...hmmm we aren't so prosperous lately....democracy....like a President who can create a war for no good reason at all except for ridding nonexistent WMD's and bringing democracy via gunpoint...and rule of law such as the Geneva Conventions flounted and the torture, extraordinary renditions, and secret CIA programs in the US...
Avoid mentioning graft and corruption might be a good idea with cost plus contracts for friendly corporations in Iraq such as the one Cheney used to head, and Bernie Madoff, Enron and the entire subprime and derivative market meltdown which bankrupted some countries...I suppose we could preach the virtues of vulture capitalism but....Obama is trying but the American ego still sticks out a bit... - angryfirelord, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3Would you like to play a nice game of chess?
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -1/+3...and possibly the richest man in Europe. Rumor says that the Kremlin/Putin quietly owns a piece of every Russian enterprise that went from state to private ownership.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1573354/ ... - DarthVolta, on 07/07/2009, -1/+3/s?
please? - overridemymind, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2A strange game.... the only winning move is not to play.
- treehugger87, on 07/07/2009, -2/+4I love this quote from one of Obama's speeches. I'm still not convinced he's the peace-loving savior I want him to be, but the beats the ***** out of Bush's trumped up rhetoric.
"I think it's very important that I come before you with some humility," he told opposition leaders. "I think in the past there's been a tendency for the United States to lecture rather than to listen. And we obviously still have much work to do with our own democracy." - asami21, on 07/07/2009, -2/+40bama offered Putin a blow job.
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -1/+3from Palin?
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2Good thing they're not proposing going nuke free then, eh? It's an arms reduction, not an elimination.
- BotchaMcCoola, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2Just because he likes to give our wealth to losers and damage the Middle class, and exert central government control of the economy...Wait, I guess you are right.
- BotchaMcCoola, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2Communism used to be scary to us when most people lived within their means. Now it doesn't look so bad when most people and states are debtors.
- hasslinthehoff, on 07/07/2009, -1/+3We have? Putin basically clocked Bush in about five seconds for what he was... an idiot. After that, it wasn't much of a relationship.
- treehugger87, on 07/07/2009, -1/+3they bury the funniest comment on Digg.
- 5urr3al5am, on 07/07/2009, -3/+5Obama is so out of his league. What's he going to do gather up people and march through the russian town squares in protest?
- drewc1138, on 07/07/2009, -1/+3I wish I could digg you up one million times, milkmit.
- drjekelmrhyde, on 07/07/2009, -4/+5Anti-Christ
/Ends wharrgarbl - CocoCrisp42, on 11/06/2009, -0/+1Obama tell us how you really feel!
- SemiSarcastic, on 07/07/2009, -3/+4I don't care what people are saying about this visit now, I care about what people will be saying about it ten years from now.
- endisnighe, on 07/11/2009, -0/+1Our sock puppets usually are idiots, remember any vids of Obama w/o a telepromtor. He thinks as well on his feet as a certain beauty contestant I could mention. Ever see the video of Obama reading the Prime Minister of Scotland or Ireland, he read the others speech. Oh I forgot the MSM or should I say the propaganda wing buried that video.
- endisnighe, on 07/11/2009, -0/+1Yeah he's the puppetmaster in russia, with Obama being the sockpuppet who has their hand up his ass LOL
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -1/+2@hasslinthehoff, Bush and Putin were quite chummy with another, and their relationship dissolved what could have been a foreign policy disaster with the South Ossetia war last year, yet here Putin barely even looked Obama in the face.
- treehugger87, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1Is that the new right wing propaganda you people are about to start spreading, that Bush was really a librul? It never fails to astound me the lows that you are willing to go to in order to brainwash the masses.
- BotchaMcCoola, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1I'll bet Putin said "show us the money". Word may have gotten around about how many hundreds of billions of US wealth are being given away to the "coaliton of the willing" countries, Pakistan, Iraqis, Afghans, Saudis, UAE, Israel, ...etc.
- alanocu, on 07/08/2009, -2/+2Obama did all of that on training wheels? Was anything critical accomplished? Like Russia's assistance in stopping Iran's rush for the bomb? No? Well did he manage to get a nice cup of tea or coffee while in Russia?
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -9/+9Who's sad John McCain and his "Russia iz evul" rhetoric aren't running the white house right now?
- peaceofpie, on 07/08/2009, -1/+1At the end this article states that Russia and Poland have 36 billion dollars of trade? What do they trade that creates 36 billion dollars between them in trade? That is a lot of sausage.
- cbootman, on 07/09/2009, -0/+0Hey have you guys seen these things yet?
www.obamaflyswatter.com - DextramPennae, on 07/07/2009, -23/+23The mobsters from Russia ought to get along grandly with the criminals from Chicago.
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -5/+5They already did.
- BotchaMcCoola, on 07/10/2009, -1/+1You can't be serious. Don't you realize how much of our wealth Bush lost. If he was not a liberal what the hell would call him? Did you not see him get up with as angry a face as he could and say he is giving 50 billion to Africa. It would be fine if that was his money and favorite charity. But I'll damned if some Federal politican tells me how to spend my charity money. How about that half trillion Ag bill he signed without the slightest argument. I don't know what you call that kind of immoral SOB but he was way too liberal for me. And that doesn't even count giving all the money to the MIC and making us think 911 was some kind of military attack. Then on top of it he made Obama possible.
