An overwhelming percentage of Russians said the reelection of US President Barack Obama would better serve Russia's national interests as opposed to the presidential challenger, Mitt Romney...
Anyone surprised by this poll reaction? I didn't think so. Let's remember the episode caught on video with Obama telling Russia's Medvedev that he would be more "flexible" in a second term.
...In a nationwide poll that tracked Russians’ political attitudes, a whopping 41 per cent of respondents said they want to see President Obama voted back into the White House, while just 8 per cent expressed preference for Republican challenger Mitt Romney...
Why wouldn't 41% of Russians want to see Obama reelected? They already know how weak he is. Russians actually see Obama as a useful tool to be used and manipulated to advance their own national interests. Russians aren't particularly stupid. They have seen and heard Romney's remark that Russia was the United States' greatest geopolitical foe.
...The Russian public’s extremely negative attitude towards Mitt Romney comes as little surprise since most Russians are familiar with the Republican contender only from his “anti-Russian” comments.
Earlier this year, Romney called Russia “America’s number one geopolitical foe.” For those who thought that may have been a misinformed slip of the tongue, he said at a later appearance that he would show more “backbone” with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Russian leader, however, said he was “thankful” for Romney’s candor...
Translation from Putin: Thanks for the heads up. Now I have to go to the internet to make a donation to the Obama campaign again. Hey, they accept money from anyone, anywhere, any time.
