Obama administration set to "overload" on Moscow

Russian media has been poking fun at US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after she gave her Russian counterpart a "reset" button with an ironic misspelling.

Clinton's gift to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at their meeting in Geneva on Friday evening was meant to underscore the Obama administration's readiness to "to press the reset button" in ties with Moscow.

But instead of the Russian word for "reset" (perezagruzka) it featured a slightly different word meaning "overload" or "overcharged" (peregruzka).

Daily newspaper Kommersant put a prominent picture of the fake red button on its front page and declared: "Sergei Lavrov and Hillary Clinton pushed the wrong button."

A correspondent for NTV television called it a "symbolic mistake," pointing out that US-Russian ties had become overcharged in recent years due to discord over such issues as missile defence and last summer's war in Georgia.

"The friendly US gesture was upturned by a small amusing incident," the news website RBC.ru wrote in an article posted late Friday evening.

"Yet this curious episode did not stop Clinton and Lavrov from pushing the button in front of television cameras."

US Vice-President Joe Biden spoke of pressing the "reset button" on relations between Moscow and Washington during a speech in Germany last month. It has since been repeated in various forms by both US and Russian officials.

Yes we are all so afraid of rush. What we really hope is that all of you wont have him as your leader. That would be the worst thing that could happen to the dems, rush in charge of the repubs. 😱

The ultimate ticket
Rush and Harvey in 2012.:wine:
 
The dumb just get dumber, I can imagine what the leftists would be saying if this had happened to Bush. I guess when Obama was going through the budget line by line he got rid of the Russian translators.



They should have just had Hillary go to Staples and bring and "easy" button.

What's interesting is imagining what a field day the US media would have had if this had happened in the Bush administration. It surely would have been interpreted as a sign of the administration's "cavalier" approach to foreign relations, or to Bush's "Texas idiocy" that apparently trickles down through the ranks.
 
this must have been the result of Biden giving her foreign policy advice. Kudos to Hillary for giving all the late night shows plenty of material to work with 🙂

Maybe the media could be forgiven for noting a few spurious things as evidence of Bush's cavalier attitude and Texas idiocy, considering how many real examples of that there were.

I hope someone at the State Dept. gets fired over the button language fiasco. Talk about a great display of Hillary's arrogance and stupidity.

Fixed for you. If it were me and I knew I what I was doing would be covered by the international press... I would have at least called a Russian professor over at Georgetown before I made an ass of myself.

Or maybe I would have called up Bill. He probably knows a few interns at the Russian embassy in D.C.
