First Russian Newscaster Gives Obama The Finger, Next President Gets Heckled At Home

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Things for Obama, whose ratings tumble to new record lows with each passing day, are just going from bad to worse...

This is what happened today in New Hampshire...

...And this is what Russians think of our president as of three days ago.

Huh ?

 

And you want us to believe that this is not fake ?

Such gesture is not only silly but utterly unprofessional.

What news presenter who only wants to be taken 30% seriously would do that while being live on air ?

 

Even if you don't agree with OBummer.

I call bullshit.

I'd rather she gave the digitus impudicus to her director behind the glass pane, because she seemed to have problems with her pronounciation and probably got ridiculed for that.

Let's give these OWSr's everything they wish for and see how our society turns out. You don't like the Banks that give you loans to finance the building or purchase of your home then you go build or finance one yourself. You have an issue with greedy corporations than you go create a job for yourself from you own skills. The very ppl the OWSr's abhor (wall street corporations) are the same companies that these OWS'rs want jobs from

And I am supposed to care that some "journalist" who blows Putin every 6 months for her job gives Obama the finger?????

Obama is CEO of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA which is a corporation so it doesn't matter where he was born. The USA went bust in 1788, 1871, and again in 1933, and has been under new management since. The BK in 1788 was a surprise to me.

It would be really too bad if people vented all their rage and impotent fury only at the polls, by voting for whatever bought-and-paid-for sack of shyte was across the ballot from Obama.

Seriously while Obama screwed the pooch, big time, it really didn't matter a whole lot who was in office during this time. The oligarches are still pulling strings and that is going to continue for a while. One election more or less isn't going to change that. Certainly not the one in 2012. If you think anything will be different after that, think again.

Not sure what will change things, actually. But I imagine it has something to do with setting everything on fire, or similar reaction. I really don't think the US Supreme Court -- nor any other branch of government --  is going to listen to anything except conflagration going forward.

Make your plans accordingly.

Well Muslims do kill Muslims and Christians kill Christians. But that doesn't change the fact that Obama is a Christian who kills Muslims.You just dislike Obama (as do I) and you think that Muslim is a dirty word so you use it to incorrectly define him.

This is not about politics or whether you agree or disagree with the policies of  any President. Its about respect for the office of the President of the United States of America. If you are not appalled at this insulting gesture from a Russian broad than you cannot call yourself an American.

This is offensive and unwarranted. And i had the same reaction when Hugo Chavez was insulting President Bush in his speech!

Glorifying such incidents is worse.

Barack Obama is a coincidence that just could not have worked out worse for the American people.

For reasons having nothing to do with the financial crisis, Barack Obama represents the culmination of the hopes and dreams of most of the media. From minute 1 he was for them John Kennedy and Martin Luther King rolled into one.

And yet he came along at the very time when we needed someone diametrically opposite.

We needed an Austrian economic thinker who understood that the bubble must be backed out, debt must be written off, failure must be allowed to fail, and the banking system needs to be torn down, Glass-Steagall reimposed, and a new banking system put in its place WITHOUT THE FEDERAL RESERVE.

Instead what we got was an utter economic illiterate who started yapping from the beginning about how credit needs to get flowing. A bitter, divisive, hyper-partisan, mean-spirited, Wall Street sugar daddy bank bailout assclown.

From him we get the very worst of every kind of “ism.” He is the worst of corporatism, crony capitalism and socialism all rolled into one. The greatest single mismatch for that office in our history.

A disaster of a president, a disaster of a human being, and someone who we will be trying to undo for a generation, if we can ever even undo the damage at all.

what makes obama bashers look stupid is that most of them think there is a real alternative out there. there is no alternative except ron paul but he will suffer a "stroke" or a "heart attack" or a plane crash if he dares comes close to the prize. i will vote for him post humously anyway if it comes to that.

Just asked my wife, who is Russian, what this newscaster is talking about. She's just mentioning that Medvedev is taking the place of Obama at APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation). Sorry to burst your bubble thinking she was giving Obama the finger (although it is well-deserved) but it has nothing at all to do with what she is talking about. Most likely she thought she was off-camera when she did this. Notice that it cuts to the clip of the podium immediately after she does this, within a second or two. Someone was probably prompting her or saying something on the earphone that irritatated her and she gave them the finger. It's funny, but most certainly not directed at Obummer.

Far better would have been the Davis high class approach to their Chancellor - total fucking perp-walk silence. Impressive!

In Russia middle finger has no bad meaning unlike US.

 

You assume cultures are the same all over the world but they're not.

 

Russian sign for middle finger is putting thumb between 1st and 2nd fingers. It's pronounced "figa", means FU.
