"Negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon knocks over all the pieces on the board and then struts around like it won the game." ~ Vladimir Putin ( conspiracy )

Sounds like he has a pretty good handle on the situation. Thank god Putin knows what he is dealing with. If he didn't know that our "leaders" were that dumb, WWIII would have started at least a year ago.

But Obama once he's out of office will still be treated better that 95% of America and will earn far more that most of you. I still say where's Obama's lee Oswald.

The thing with internet quotes is that it is difficult to verify them. --Harry S. Truman

Putin never said that

I hate that this describes my president accurately. He just puts on an act of confidence and superiority so that all the weak minded fools fall for it, but upon close examination he's done an incredibly poor job. Kind of reminds me of how in Star Wars the weak minded were susceptible to the power of suggestion via "the force." Darth Obama

This is quite ironic for voat to think this is bad negotiation. Trumps #1 rule of negotiation is be willing to walk away, number 2 is to be able to do something bad when you walk away. Litterally the capacity to wreck the negotiation and strut around like you've won is the first step to getting something good out of a deal.

It doesn't mean do it, it means have the capacity. This does mean exactly that will have to happen every now and again.

Also, of course the quote is fake.

And when did google become the Ministry of Truth? Or did L. Ron Hubbard anoint them?

Actually the quote came from a Russian Newspaper off a twitter post. If I was going to make something up, I am much more creative than that. Makes the pigeon quote seem a little boring.

Schlomodude

Try it in Russian.

Did not know he said that, but sounds right on the money to me.

Reggie000

He didn't.

ilikeskittles

It's a good analogy though.

Don't forget the part where he shits all over you.

Schlomodude

Over me. Wrong. Over everything and everyone. Except a toilet.

mig2k

And the part where he picks up said shit and flings it around.

Schlomodude

Going straight for the monkey inference. Or that is what I got out of the pooh flinging reference. Subtle, and yet still over the top racist humor at the same time. You did leave out the queer factor and the fact his wife is probably a tranny, but over all I was pleasantly surprised. 8 out of 10 stars and an up vote for you. Nicely done.

mig2k

I would never infer that. Dat be rasiss.

Schlomodude

Well what ever intention you have when you say something, does not mean the person hearing it perceives it such. Meaning regardless of intention, perception is everything.

Like for instance, when I stated the blacks had an unfair advantage on the Spartan Race in the spear toss event, some people took that as racist or said "WTF?" But sure enough, they hit the target every time. Like I told them, its not like I said the Asians were going to dominate the driving competition.

mig2k

True enough good sir. Blacks indeed are literally born with a 6 pack, can run marathons without sweating, and have weiners the size of ham hocks, yet unable to add 1+1, spell "cat" or figure out where "dey money at" from the welfare office.

Schlomodude

Stereotypes even though racially based usually have some truth to them. There are exceptions. I look to the humor in them rather than the malicious intentions. To quote Carlos Mencia, race makes things funny.

The fact that when I was watching the Spartan Race with a buddy, seen they were on the spear toss and told him, "watch, the black guys are going to dominate in this event". Then we both laughed every time they hit the target and didn't miss.

mig2k

I do the same thing, except it's more like "watch the black guy steal that bike" on funny YouTube vids.
