Alexey Pushkov

Alexey Pushkov, a Russian government official, exploited the murder of innocents in America to mock the notion of "American exceptionalism."

The jerk took to Twitter to gloat. This is really sick stuff.

From the Washington Times:

A Russian official blasted “American exceptionalism” in a tweet Monday morning, saying the deadly shooting at Washington’s Navy Yard confirms the worst about the U.S.

“A new shootout at Navy headquarters in Washington — a lone gunman and 7 corpses. Nobody’s even surprised anymore,” tweeted Alexey Pushkov, a member of the Russian parliamentary foreign affairs committee.

“A clear confirmation of American exceptionalism,” he added, according to multiple translations of the original Russian tweet.

Mr. Pushkov went on in English to say that American exceptionalism “contradicts the principles of equal rights and smells of political racism.”

I think Pushkov is speaking on behalf of Vladimir Putin.

These Russians are enjoying mocking the U.S. There seems to be no concern about poisoning relations between the countries.

They know Obama is weak. We have a weak, incompetent president, at home and on the world stage. Obama is screwing up America. The Russians are loving that.

Obama needs to man up.

Navy Yard Attack, Obama's Attack on Republicans

Shortly after Aaron Alexis committed mass murder at the Washington Navy Yard, Obama chose to carry out an attack of his own.

Rather than postpone his bitter partisan rant, just hours after the bloodshed, Obama decided to make a few perfunctory remarks about the killings before he tore into the Republicans.

Completely classless.

From FOX News:

President Obama planned to give an economic pep talk Monday to mark the five-year anniversary of the financial crisis.

But as reports emerged of the deadly shooting nearby at the Washington Navy Yard, the president found himself juggling two sharply different topics -- addressing the tragic mass shooting, before launching into a blistering assault on congressional Republicans for their budgetary demands.

"I cannot remember a time when one faction of one party promises economic chaos if it can't get 100 percent of what it wants. That's never happened before. But that's what's happening right now," Obama said.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was later peppered with questions on the tone of the president's remarks. While Obama opened his address by calling the victims of the mass shooting "patriots" and vowing to get to the bottom of what happened, he quickly pivoted to his remarks about congressional Republicans.

Carney defended the president's remarks, saying that with Washington facing some looming deadlines, "Congress needs to act."

Carney defends Obama's inappropriate remarks by insisting "Congress needs to act"? Really?

When is Obama going to act like the president of the United States and display some respect and dignity, instead of acting like a cold, ruthless, political warrior at a time of great sorrow?

Obama is a disgrace.

Here's video of Obama's brief acknowledgement of the shootings before launching into his disgusting tirade:
