Re: Obama Claims "Russia doesn't make anything"
I was trying to think of something smart and witty, but what can a person say when something so stupid is said.
1) he's a politician and politicians are known liars,

1. Most politicians. You'd be hard-pressed to find a politician that doesn't lie often.
Of course they make things, but except for raw materials other countries make into finished products, most of the products are military: AKs, tanks and APCs, jets no one buys and like that.
And every single one of his bullet points is absolute BS.
About the whole thing Russia makes for civilian markets is firearms, easily replicated but reliable and well performing firearms. The only reason they are actually recovering is that they sell natural gas to Europe, but to say they MAKE anything that is irreplaceable is false.
@ Sangfroid:
Well, actually, vast majority of their export is raw materials, agriculture or very low-level industrial goods (such as metal pipes). These 3 categories make up about 80% (last time I checked) of their total exports. Most of their manufactured goods is indeed weaponry - although they do have a pretty big market share, and they are fairly popular on such markets as China, India and Northern Africa.
"I was trying to think of something smart and witty..."
So, much like Curly Howard: "I try thinking, but nothing happens!"
1. Seems to be part of the job description these days. If you're just now figuring that out, then you need to spend a little more time outside of that rock you've been hiding under.
2. I can see how being mentally ill and unable to afford treatment would make one sympathetic to the "lefties," since y'know, they actually want to help them.
3. If you're smarter, why haven't you graduated from Harvard with honors or become president of the US?
4. I thought you people still hated Slavs for being filthy commies. I reckon Russia managed to earn your respect nonetheless by bashing gays enough and sufficiently soiling themselves wallowing in their own belligerency. I'm sure they're very proud of your personal approval. 9_9
