. . . the Russian media, that is.
It turns out that "Obama Schmoe" is quite the pop culture expression among Russians - it was even painted in giant letters on a runway in Syrian Latakia.

After reading the story, I realized . . . The Russian media treats Obama the same way American media treated Bush . . . or Trump . . . or just about any Republican.

That's awful. Where can I get that calendar?

Its refreshing when get an article from a media source and can't find anything untrue in it.

I don't trust Russia or Putin even a bit.
The fact they hate Obama actually is about the only positive thing one can say about Obama.

I'm having a hard time finding the negative side of a massively nationalist country ridiculing a rival's obviously weak, clownish leader.
Good on RT.
The only difference between them and our troops doing it, would probably involve a largish dong along with the insult.

Russia is not a "good guy".
Putin is KGB to the core, otherwise known as the enemy.
*expletive deleted*ck Putin

Never said Putin was any sort of good guy. It's still no surprise when a country actually gives a *expletive deleted*it about itself (except maybe here). Given the last 30 odd years of Russian history, can you blame them? I'd compare it to Hitler's ascendance, but I hate using Godwin for comparison. You don't just kick a proud people while they're down and expect them to take it when they rebound.
