Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin opened Thursday’s government session with a vicious tongue-lashing against his own cabinet.
“What good did you do to the Russian people this week?” the Prime Minister asked first thing after taking his place at the chairman’s seat.
Not getting an answer, Putin continued his rant: “Why are you silent? Are you even working? What are you getting your money for?”
After another brief pause he continued the session addressing the issues on the agenda.
This vicious attack comes less than a week after Putin’s virtually arm-twisting billionaire Oleg Deripaska and authorities of the town of Pikalevo into signing a contract.

I only wish we could for once have a real leader like Mr. Putin here in the U.S. Now, we have a president keeps showing how little he knows about and cares about us, the real people.
i don't see how anyone can compare Putin and Obama. They are complete opposites. If Putin wants a table painted red on tuesday, it will be painted red on tuesday. If Obama wants a table painted red on tuesday, he will give 10 speeches on why it should be painted red, he will give his best speech to Congress, who will vote against the proposal, and at the end of the day, it will not be painted at all.
Oops! P. M. Putin did it again. If you are Russian "keep Rootin For Putin".
