Crimean Prime Minister Sergey Aksyonov mocked President Barack Obama on Twitter Monday by tweeting a photoshopped picture of him in a Russian military outfit. “Interestingly, after the success of the company in returning Crimea, Barack is getting the rank of colonel?” wrote Aksyonov.

commercial mocks Obama's TSA. It couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch. Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday that he and Cuban ally Fidel Castro risk being more conservative than U.S. President Barack Obama as Washington prepares to take control of General Motors Corp.
During one of Chavez's customary lectures on the "curse" of capitalism and the bonanzas of socialism, the Venezuelan leader made reference to GM's bankruptcy filing, which is expected to give the U.S. government a 60 percent stake in the 100-year-old former symbol of American might.
"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," Chavez joked on a live television broadcast.
During a decade in government, Chavez has nationalized most of Venezuela's key economic sectors, including multibillion dollar oil projects, often via joint ventures with the private sector that give the state a 60 percent controlling stake.
