It’s Offically Time To Reevaluate Obama
Obama, the Community Organizer, is no match for Putin. Think about it… While Barry was smoking pot with the “Choom Gang”, Putin was cutting his teeth in the KGB.
‘Fats’ Putin Sings ‘Blueberry Hill’ With Bonus Piano Solo
Is there anything this KGB commie bastard can’t do? The rhythm, the voice, the pronunciation… Priceless.
Video Description:
Full video of Vladimir Putin playing the piano and singing “Blueberry Hill”. The Russian prime minister is used to taking to the stage, but this time it was not for one of his speeches. Vladimir Putin made his audience sit up and take note, as he sang at a charity fundraiser. The reception at an ice stadium in St. Petersburg was dedicated to fighting children’s cancer. International celebrities including Kevin Costner, Gerard Depardieu, Mickey Rourke, Sharon Stone, Kurt Russell, Vincent Cassel, Monica Belucci, Ornella Muti, Goldie Hawn and many others attended the benefit concert. Many of the stars are actively involved in charity work which draws needed attention to children’s oncological and ophthalmological diseases. When the hostess approached Putin’s table and asked him to sing for the audience, his immediate reaction was “are you kidding me?” But the hostess was determined to get the prime minister on the mic and reminded him about the songs he sang with the Russian sleeper agents extradited from the US last summer. Putin attempted to evade the proposal by saying that the singing she was referring to had come from the heart. However, after seeing the pictures of ill children shown to the audience on the big screen, he took to the stage. “Like the majority of people I cannot — but do like to sing and to play — so you’ll have to rough it,” he warned as he sat at the piano and played the beginning of Blueberry Hill. The tune was immediately caught by Maceo Parker’s jazz band. The prime minister then took the mic and sang it in English himself. Putin returned to the piano to sing in Russian “From What the Homeland Starts” — the song he sang with the exposed Russian agents. The audience loved his performance and showed their appreciation with a standing ovation and applause. Many recorded the one man show on their mobile phones. On December 1, Putin confessed to US chat show host Larry King that he does study some songs in English with his language tutor. When the concert was over Putin took Sharon Stone by the arm and together with other guests they went on stage to sing a Russian song about cosmonauts, “Grass Near Home”.
Photo Shows Putin in Disguise During Reagan Visit
I have my doubts that is Putin in disguise. For one thing the guy is taller than the 10 year old boy.
A picture has emerged apparently showing Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in his former days as a KGB officer.
The 20-year old photo depicts two world leaders – US President Ronald Reagan and the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev – in Moscow.
But, according to the man who took the photo, it also captures Mr Putin disguised as a tourist.Pete Souza, now President Obama’s official photographer, captured the moment when he worked for President Reagan during the political thaw that soon ended the Cold War.
Mr Reagan took a stroll around Red Square accompanied by the Russian leader, who then introduced him to a group of tourists.In an interview, Mr Souza recounted being surprised at the “pointed” questions these supposed tourists asked the US leader.
They included searching enquiries on the state of human rights in the US.
The identity of the man on the left of the photo – complete with camera round his neck – was later revealed and “verified” to Mr Souza as none other than Mr Putin.
The planting of KGB officers as bystanders was a common practice in Soviet times.
During the tense stand-off of the Cold War, they would be used to challenge foreign leaders during visits to Russia.But, while acknowledging this practice, a Russian political analyst and author of books on Vladimir Putin dismissed Mr Souza’s claims as “nonsense”.
“Vladimir Putin was a major serving in Dresden and he wasn’t important enough at that time to be brought to Moscow”, said Andrey Piontkovsky.
Mr Putin served as a KGB officer in the East German city of Dresden.
He was stationed there from 1985 until the fall of the Berlin Wall. He was later called back to Russia.Not a huge amount is known about his work there, but it is widely believed he was a middle-ranking agent on his first and only foreign posting.
