Russia Mocks Obama

Well known for their lively sense of humor, Russians haven't been slow to scorn and mock President Obama, comparing him unfavorably to Vladmir Putin.

Lately, this has spread to Syria, where a popular Russian phrase, Obama is a Schmoe, appeared on the runway at Latakkia.

But that's not all. The US President has also appeared on cutting boards as part of a family of monkeys, and even featured in one town's drive for greater cleanliness, in a poster accusing Obama of being an "unwashed chimney sweep."

One Russian company even dedicated a line of ice cream to the US Commander in Chief, "Chocolate and Vanilla." With rainbows.

Is this simple racism on Russia's part? Or is there something about Barack that doesn't inspire respect.

Surely not. That would be, you know, inconceivable.

Rainbow Messiah or Monkey?

Thanks to the Associated Press, all the world knows that President Obama was greeted by a rainbow on the 12th day of his vacation in Hawaii.

"Obama started a sunny and breezy morning with a workout at a gym on a Marine Corps base near the oceanfront home he's renting. A faint rainbow appeared in the sky along the route to the base from Obama's rental home in the small town of Kailua outside Honolulu."

A faint rainbow. How very lovely.

The rainbow loving leader of the free world has been called a monkey by the North Koreans. "Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest," said an unidentified spokesman from North Korea's National Defense Commission.

Russians aren't convinced by Obama's rainbow rhetoric either, and beamed a laser image of the Commander-in-Chief onto the American Embassy in Moscow. The image shows Obama wearing a party hat and eating a banana. Foreign policy experts believe that this was an attempt by the Russians to portray Barack Obama as a monkey.

So what's it to be? Rainbow Messiah, or Monkey? The vote is out.

You, the reader, be the judge.
