Not mad at all. Just willing to call a spade a spade.

Obama has absolutely nothing to do with the drop in oil prices. Nothing. Not one thing!
In fact he's done everything in his power to attain the opposite effect. Outside of sheer luck, he has been owned by Putin at every intersection. Every one. Hell, even with the plummet of oil and the ruble, Putin is controlling the Eastern Ukraine situation. Crimea is off the table.

The ignorance of Obama apologists notwithstanding, BHO has been pathetic.

I misread your original statement as "Russian Economy" not "Russian Market". There were actually 5 US companies more valuable than the Russian market as of the end of the year. I haven't kept up since, though.

The drop in oil prices has been the chief contributor to the weakening of Russia's Papier-mâché economy, but external pressures and sanctions have exacerbated the effects. I'll be the last one to say that "Obama took Putin" down or anything else so asinine. But the fact remains that with the exception of bullying weaker nations within Russia's historical sphere of influence, Putin must be regarded as a failure. All the claims that he was flexing this and that, doing what's best for his people, reviving the Russian Empire, and basically having his way with the west (all well documented claims on this board) were and are a joke. The OP was a joke. Putin is a shitty, intemperate leader who rightly calculated that no one was going to blows over an historic part of the old Russian block. And he outplayed us in Syria in a move that ultimately worked out best for our interests.

That's it. He's nothing special.

You honestly posted the gif of an actress who was stunned her account got hacked after she had protected it with a password which happened to be her nickname? Really?
Then I guess as GeniusJenn says . . . . . "Okay"



Instead of stroking your man Obama, or posting JLaw gifs, how about Reading Something?

WTF are you talking about? Are you aware of the financial troubles? Easiest way to collapse the USSR. It worked once and it will work again.

ETA: N/M I will leave my ignorant post up for all to witness my hasty response to a bump from many months ago.

It's early, let the taunting commence.

It happens to the best of us.


Amen.

Obama had no hand in the Saudi oil prices that are threatening Russia's economy. I'm not sure how anyone could call it anything but luck.

Also, the Crimea situation isn't better. Nothing has changed on that front. If anything this should make Russia more desperate to gain access to that region.

Correct.

You have something to say regarding the Obama Administration's efforts to drop the price of oil?

False.

Well honestly, Obama has overseen the slowest economic recovery in the history of the country. Insofar as that probably diminishes demand, I guess one could claim he had a "hand" in oil prices.

Putin has helped destroy his currency.

He knows what he is doing? I wouldn't be so sure as Russia is now going into a tailspin with oil under $50 a barrel. Everyone is ditching rubles for dollars in Russia. I'm sure that's what Putin wants?
