Them Russkies are a'beginin' to look downright wise, . . . and they sure can turn a phrase, or maybe it's jes' the translation.
From Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:
********quote*****
Today America, the American people were humiliated by their own President. Not by international terrorists, not by [the] enemy’s troops. This time Washington was slapped by [its] own master, who has complicated the urgent tasks for the incoming team in the extreme.
The most surprising thing is that having failed to add to the history any achievements at the world stage, the Nobel Prize winner managed to make a big inkblot instead of an elegant mark.
This is it, [the] curtain [has dropped]. The bad performance is over. The whole world, from the front row to the balcony, is watching a devastating blow to America’s prestige and its leadership, dealt by Barack Obama and his semi-literate foreign policy team, which has exposed its main secret to the world – exceptionalism was a masked helplessness.
No enemy of the United States could have done worse.

Looks like Ms. Zakharova really nailed it !
