[lbo-talk] Obamachev

General Secretary Obamachev of the USSA (United States of Securitized
Assets) takes time out of his busy schedule of appointing Wall Street
apparatchiks to leech a creaking, diseased economy and cheerleading the
gloriously irresistible march of revolutionary democratization, a.k.a. the
USSA's eight-year occupation of Afghanistan, to hector Putin on the eve of
the upcoming meeting with one of the USSA's leading creditors:

"...but Prime Minister Putin still has a great deal of sway in Russia...
and I think it's important that even as we move forward with President
Medvedev, that Putin understands that the old Cold War approaches to
US-Russian relations is outdated, it's time to move forward in a different
direction. Medvedev understands that, I think Putin has one foot in the
old ways of doing business and one foot in the new."

In the old days, US power elites indulged in Kremlinology as a way of
sneering at Soviet incompetence. Nowadays, it's turned into the
increasingly pathetic attempt at finding a creditor willing to buy US
T-bills.
