You know how Obama's "sanctions" fairytale works for Putin propaganda here in Russia? He is happy to use that speech of your stupid president about "torn to pieces" Russian economy as an excuse for his own illiterate internal policy. When people here ask "WTF is going on with ruble?" He says it's because of Obama sanctions - blame him for your troubles. Like it's not because Putin has destroyed Russian economy which now almost fully depends on oil prices only. To sum it up: your useless clown president does a good job for Putin and his brainwashing machine.
