Rookie of the year

A Putin spokesman says what every single rational American was screaming at the tops of their lungs as November began last year: Obama not fully informed on Russia. Well, we were a little broader in our assessment, we realized that Obama was not fully informed on anything relating to statesmanship, but nobody seemed to care.

Shamelessly lifted from a damn good article (which you should read, and heart click some adverts for them!):

Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, in mildly-expressed comments, said: "I see that he does not possess full information. After visiting Moscow, President Obama will know the realities better."

Judging by these statements it is very good that the meeting with Prime Minister Putin is on President Obama's agenda. I am sure that after the meeting with Putin, President Obama will change his point of view," Peskov added.

I must hand it to the Ruskies, they're very good with their press statements. It's almost like they've had almost a century's worth of experience hand-picking statements to be read to the public or something. This one's just too good to pass up, a real kick in the 'nads:

[Referring to Obama's quote "that Putin had one foot in the old ways of doing business,"] Peskov complained that the United States had kept in place trade restrictions, some of them dating back to the Cold War years. "If that is not a Cold War approach, what is it then?" Peskov said.

Ouchies!
