Russia not passing gas...but raising big stink!

MOSCOW: In the face of mounting economic troubles, Russia cut off deliveries of natural gas to Ukraine on Thursday after Ukraine rejected the Kremlin's demands for a sharp increase in gas prices.

A similar reduction in supplies to Ukraine in 2006 caused a drop in pressure throughout Europe's integrated natural gas pipeline system and led to shortages in countries as far away as Italy and France.

Well, let's hope that the Magic Negro is up to this...but then, what have we got to fear about electing a jive-talking, smooth dressing neophyte community organizer--it couldn't be as bad as Boosh? Could it?
