Russian president totally disses Bush

[prolesunited]

If there was any doubt world leaders were relieved at having to deal with Obama rather than another Bush type. Can't imagine this being said about Palin.

STEPHANOPOULOS: You've now met with President Obama many times. At least 15 meetings and phone calls.

MEDVEDEV: Sixteen times.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Sixteen. Okay, I knew it was 15. I wasn't sure about the 16. What do you make of Barack Obama the man?

MEDVEDEV: He's very comfortable partner, it's very interesting to be with him. The most important thing that distinguishes him from many other people – I won't name anyone by name – he's a thinker, he thinks when he speaks. Which is already pretty good.

STEPHANOPOULOS: You had somebody in your mind, I think. (LAUGHS)

MEDVEDEV: Obviously I do have someone on my mind. I don't want to offend anyone. He's eager to listen to his partner, which is a pretty good quality for a politician. Because any politician is to a certain degree a mentor. They preach something. And the ability to listen to their partner is very important for the politician. And he is pretty deeply emerged in the subject, so he has a good knowledge of what he's talking about. There was no instance in our meetings with Mr. Obama where he wasn't well prepared for the questions. This is very good. And after all, he's simply a very pleasant man with whom it's a pleasure to deal with.

1. I'll bet snuffy was disappointed in rave reviews for Obama....LOL....n/t

[Arkana]

2. Counting down until Sarah Palin goes on a half-cocked Facebook rant

about "Soviet Premier Dmitry Medvedev".

[Kdillard]

3. Interesting and confirms what others have said about dealing with him.

[Phx_Dem]

4. It's Spring and love is in the air . . .

:hug:

I'm teasing. That's a very nice compliment coming from a Russian President.

[bobburgster]

5. Any chance we can forward rhis to Sarah and her gang?

[prolesunited]

6. Post it on her FB page?

Somebody needs to post it for the Freepers as well.

[BlueIdaho]

7. And George Stephanopoulos Laughed his ass off...

It was beautiful.

[political_Dem]

8. Why Lie? Bush was not a mental giant. His Administration represented a dark time history.

Any leader would be elated not to have dealt with him.

[prolesunited]

11. Remember when he gave Germany's leader

that creepy back rub. You could just see her cringing.

[political_Dem]

13. Yes, I remember.

And knowing that Bush might have been drunk when he did it, makes your skin crawl. :scared:

Other than that, Bush has never been one to show manners. In fact, he demonstrates that money does not breed class.

[jgraz]

9. Ooh, that's gonna get Junior reaching for the Wild Turkey.

We need a DU pool on how quickly he's going to drink himself to death.

[nilram]

14. I'm already surprised he's not in rehab or divorced or both

But that's me.

[eppur_se_muova]

10. But but but ... Bu**sh** looked deep into Putin's eyes! He read his soul!

Has Obama done that? Don't sound like it to me.

[Cha]

12. I'm so proud of our President..

Obama tries his best at all times.

[wroberts189]

15. I cringed every time w left the country ..he never failed to fail..knr/nt

[prolesunited]

16. I can't imagine what world leaders thought of a country

so ignorant to put him in office. I generally dislike Republicans, but couldn't they have found one with more manners and charm?

[never cry wolf]

17. Of course the Red Commie Ruskie loves him!

He's one of them.








:sarcasm:

18. If it were Sarah Palin rather than Obama

in office we would be ISOLATED. That dummy could never, never, ever pull something like this off. Bush would have had a better chance (and his chances would have been slim to none).

"... And the ability to listen to their partner is very important for the politician. And he is pretty deeply emerged in the subject, so he has a good knowledge of what he's talking about.

Can you possibly even begin to IMAGINE this being said about Sarah??? NO F**KING WAY!!!! (Or even John McCain???)
