State Duma speaker says Obama lives in world of illusion

MOSCOW. Dec 11 (Interfax) - Russian State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin believes that U.S. President Barack Obama, who claims that he has managed to isolate Russia, lives in a world of illusion.

"Even if some people in the West try to say that Russia is in total isolation today, this is certainly not true. These people include the U.S. president, who in the spring of this year, when addressing students of the Military Academy in West Point, announced with vigor that he had isolated Russia completely," Naryshkin said in the State Duma on Thursday.

"This man lives in a world of illusion. Never mind what he says," he added.
