Medvedev Takes a Page From Obama's Socialist Playbook

Taking his cue from President Obama, who - last year - had asked Rick Wagoner, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, to resign, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday called for officials in charge of preparing Russian athletes for the Winter Olympics to resign after the country suffered its worst-ever performance in Vancouver.

"Those in charge of preparation for the Olympics must take responsibility right now. The responsible persons should take the courageous decision and submit their resignation," Medvedev said in televised remarks.

"If they cannot do it we will help them," he added, speaking at a meeting with leaders of the ruling United Russia party.

Vyacheslav Bykov, coach of the Russian Hockey team, directed his ire toward the players [last week], saying:

"Let’s put up a bunch of guillotines and gallows. We have 35 people on the hockey team. Let’s go to Red Square and dispatch with them all.”

Medvedev, in his critique of the Russian Olympic Federations, borrowed a term commonly used by President Obama: "Fat Cats".

"We need to think about how to change the system of preparing athletes. Its main focus needs to be the athlete himself, not the federations, which seem sometimes like fat cats," Medvedev said.

The Russian President also lamented the loss of the 'old Soviet school'.

“For a long time we were riding on Soviet-era potential [in the Olympics]," he said. "At some point it ran out. We’ve already lost the old Soviet school; it shouldn’t be idealized, but it’s gone, and we haven’t created our own school.”

Russia is hosting the 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi, a resort on the Black Sea coast, and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party is taking “special control” of preparations for the Sochi games, according to Boris Gryzlov, chairman of the party and speaker of Russia’s lower house of parliament.

Clearly, President Obama, in his takeover of GM and the banking industry, has struck a chord with both Putin and Medvedev - who are now following in the footsteps of their beloved Comrade and Socialist mentor.

  2. Everybody[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/oral+sex+porno.html]oral sex porno[/url] heard rumours [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+hardcore+burg+christina.html]porno hardcore burg christina[/url] about women[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/you+old+porno.html]you old porno[/url] faking orgasms. Is that true? The majority of women have [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free++porno+hub.html]free porno hub[/url] faked at least one orgasm, yet some fake almost all of them. Why do they do that? There[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/sex+porno.html]sex porno[/url] are many reasons and the case is that there's [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+sex+porno+tube.html]free sex porno tube[/url] no one to blame.
    The most [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/young+fantasy+porno+tubes.html]young fantasy porno tubes[/url] common are two [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+videos+free.html]porno videos free[/url] reasons: they[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+young+porno.html]free young porno[/url] don't want to make their partners feel bad [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/teen+xxx+porno.html]teen xxx porno[/url] or they are tired and just want to end sex. Most females say that their partners ar[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/sylvester+stallone+gay+porno.html]sylvester stallone gay porno[/url] e not satisfied until the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/home+movies+porno.html]home movies porno[/url] girls feels orgasm, there's only one way to make them feel happy and stop the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/download+free+porno+movies.html]download free porno movies[/url] exhausting procedure - fake.
    Another [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+porno+video+that+you+can+watch+on+the+internet.html]free porno video that you can watch on the internet[/url] reason is that a[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/brazilian+porno+video+tubes.html]brazilian porno video tubes[/url] typical female [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+tube+brasil.html]porno tube brasil[/url] doesn't seek for orgasm; she desires a sexual [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/naked+porno+stars.html]naked porno stars[/url] relationship only because she wants intimacy. Still, such an attitude may make her partner feel bad. [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/sex+with+the+plummer+porno+tube.html]sex with the plummer porno tube[/url] The only way out is to [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+gay+male+porno.html]free gay male porno[/url] fake it out.
    [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/indian+porno+film.html]indian porno film[/url] Some women never really experience orgasm while making sex, but they want their partner to feel good about himself and her. Men usually expect women to have pleasure, that's why females have no other choice. They have to fake to have a good relationship.
    Loss of interest, having sex only because the partner wants to, also makes women to fake. Most females talk to their friends about such things and while they know other women act it, they do so too, because it's an easier way to have a good relationship.

    gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
