PRAVADA: Printing the stories Americans won't!

Hi Red, I don't trust Obama, but it is not for the reasons in the Pravda article. For one thing you can find his birth certificate online and he was born in Hawaii. It is documented. His education however, is not and he will not release that info along with alot of other stuff. His wife is scary. The reasons I have for not trusting him however, stem from his recent news conferences where he would not tell what he plans to do about certain "fixes" in the economy and the government. He did say that he had made up his mind, but that he would not make any comments until he was in office. He also plans to make up some of the trillion$ debit by making cuts in medicare. Now doesn't that make a lot of sense. Why doesn't he just make it mandatory to knock off folks at say 75 and save money that way. Maybe he is too "young" for the job! Shalom~Adoniah

Thats interesting - I thought the rest of the world was so thrilled that he won! Isn't he going to save the world?

Hello Red, What some seem to be missing is the significance of an international news source reporting that Barack Obama has a lack of credility. As well, the irony of this Pravda story being written about the "Hope" for returning the USA to a position of respect around the world. Ya' know the propoganda, right? Bush was such a (this or that) that the rest of the world hated us, and the only Hope for the USA was to elect the great uniter. Well, I guess that those who bought that line of hoopla, and thus voted accordingly, will now have to recognize that the rest of the world will hate us whether Bush or Obama is at the helm -- makes no difference! I will remind all that Russia is in bed with Venezuela, North Korea, Iran and now China. What does this little story, from Russia's largest news source, tell us about the "Hope" being able to negotiate with the bad guys, given his zero credibility rating??? Hmmmmm?

Ahhhh! But, he is not in charge of Russia, is he. So, no matter waht they say and write about him; it does not affect them. However, he has just been elected President of the US and (like it or not) we are stuck with him for the next 4 years (barring assassination or impeachment). Starting out criticising him before he even has a chance to be sworn in would not help anything. Right now, the American people NEED to believe he can do at least some of the things he campaigned for and that there is at least a CHANCE that things will improve. Right now, the media is giving him a chance to prove himself, one way or the other. If he makes mistakes, they WILL rip him apart; just like they have other presidents in the past.

Yes, they could do the same and should have. They preferred not to.... in fact the press did everything possible to ensure that the 0bamunist was protected and elected. Now we get to live through the results of their crimes and lies. Welcome to the USSA.

The liberal media here will never ever print any truth about him. I applaud the Russians for printing the truth. I believe, if this president-elect was a conservative, they would be printing any and every thing they could get their hands on! They would not show the same acceptance for a conservative as they have for Obama all these months/years.

Hello Red, Permit me to note a tiny correction. It is Pravda, not Pravada. Apart from that I checked the article and I think the quality of the research is no better than the National Enquirer. Did you see the picture and caption next to the article in question? It dealt with a dog that supposedly gave birth to a humanoid creature. As far as the status of Michelle Obama as a practising attorney is concerned it is not unusual to give up that status if you are working for a company since the Errors and Ommissions Insurance is a horrendous cost for practising lawyers. At least here it is. So if she was working for an organization she would have done all the legal research that her job required but if someone had to be represented in court an outside attorney would be hired. As far as Barrack himself is concerned I don't know what to make of the missing birth certificate. Honestly I don't know what to say.

Well, the name Mark S. McGrew does not exactly have a Russian ring to it. The website newsfromrussia.com, appears to have an International designation rather than being a '.co.ru', as one might expect. Hmmm. I thought that you detested Communism, RYBDog, yet here you are quoting a really appalling piece of anti-American hate writing which, you claim, is written and published by a Communist organisation. Why don't you stop clutching at any straw that seems to be blowing your way and start supporting your country and its soon-to-be President?

I don't think that many Americans believe that Obama is a deceiver. If that was the case he would never be the 1st president of the states. Time will prove that American citizens voted for the best.

Main line sources can't do the same because they are driven by interests.

"In depth analysis" you write? Pravda.ru, according to the "About Pravda.Ru" link on its home page, is a publication of the Communist Party, which "takes a pro-Russian approach to forming its policy." The article you point to is deeply lacking in journalistic integrity and substance in my opinion, a rant against Obama that paints him as the equivalent of an agent of Satan because his parents' divorce certificate claims he was born in Kenya. Then the article ends with the anti-American slam that Obama's very existence is the result of a 40-year plot of organized corruption perpetrated by BOTH the Democratic and Republican parties. McGrew is not Russian that I could find. It's more likely Russia is the only country that would publish his article, and it's probably not coincidence that it fits Russia's anti-West political power agenda.
