Vladimir Putin’s press secretary has blasted Mitt Romney’s anti-Russian statements and said relations between the countries must not become hostage to the politician’s election battle.

Dmitry Peskov was asked to comment on Romney saying he was not going to be as flexible in relations with Russia as his opponent President Barak Obama.

“As the head of the state [Vladimir Putin] has repeatedly stressed, Russia always has been and in future always will be interested in the further development of bilateral Russian-American relations,” Peskov told reporters.

He added that senior officials from both countries have stressed that bilateral relations shouldn’t be sacrificed for the sake of an election.

“We are sure that this is wrong. We know the official Washington point of view,” Putin’s spokesman added.

On Thursday, in his acceptance speech delivered at the US Republican Party convention, presidential candidate Mitt Romney vowed to toughen Washington’s stance on Russia if he makes it to the White House.

“Under my administration, our friends will see more loyalty, and Mr. Putin will see a little less flexibility and more backbone,” Romney stated.

Listen to these stupid imbecil Americans bad mouthing their president Obama, a man who has been trying to do good things for them and this is how much respect they have. Shame on them. They should be counting their blessing rather than curing a man who is not responsible for the failures of their congress. It is their congress who have refused to do their job and now blame it on their president.

Americans are shoddy and not worth the space they take up. The world would be a better place without them.

Of course Vladimir, ak.a. "the impaler"? Might be considering he sees Obama as a puke, a US president, so consumend with his own anti-American agenda in his own country; that he (Vlad Putin) can if possible and will if possible, blow smoke up Obama's rear end on a missile defense program and have want he wants. Don't forget the open mike gaff that was overheard as Obama pleaded with Medeved to give him time, so he could be more flexible on missile defense. More to the point, Obama was saying, I'll do what I can to weaken this bad, bad USA which I need to punish, and give you the nuclear superiority you need to annihalate us here! And oh, can I be in Iran, Cuba or Venezuela, or even N. Korea when you do it?

Feed me yum-yum Fed Note Cash (unregistered) 03.09.2012 01:07

Maybe it's just a Jew Ego thing.

What if OWS got down on their knees in front of the NY Federal Reserve Building and bowed down and worshiped Ben Bernanke as their almighty God, 
and begged him to release more Federal Reserve Notes (Cash) into the economy, 
over and above the Treasury Debt Obligations Face Value 
(Paying a xx% premium for T-Bonds to the gov't)?

Do you think that might solve the unemployment problem?

Is it really that hard to lick the boots of one bearded academic Jew Banker?
He's the only guy with the unlimited wallet to open and money to spend.

Oh, PLEASE oh PLEASE Ben; print up some Fed Note Cash, so I can feed my little baby girl some Gerber yum-yums, okay?
