I read this article and can't believe how stupid our Federal government is. I am sure there is someone on the Fed payroll who speaks Russian, why didn't they run it by them first?The Obama administration symbolic “pressing the reset button,” has instead made our country look like idiots.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton greeted Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with a red button with the Russian word “peregruzka” printed on it. Peregruzka means overcharged not reset!
"I would like to present you with a little gift that represents what President Obama and Vice President Biden and I have been saying and that is: 'We want to reset our relationship, and so we will do it together...We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?" - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
“You got it wrong, it should be “perezagruzka” (the Russian word for reset). This says ‘peregruzka,’ which means ‘overcharged.’” - Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reply to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton question.I guess the Obama administration doesn't preview or double check things that are important.
