Trickle Down Bumbling… Hillary Goofs On Russian Gift Exchange (Video)

Trickle down bumbling…
Hillary Tells Russian Diplomat She Wants to ‘Overcharge’ Ties.
Smart.

She thought she was giving him a “restart” button.
Instead it was an “overcharge” button.”

Nice work.
This must be what they call “smart power.”
Fox News reported:

Note to self: When trying to improve ties with a former Cold War-era foe, check a dictionary.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton learned that lesson the hard way Friday when she presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with a gift bearing an incorrect translation — one that implied hostility, rather than peacemaking.

Clinton presented Lavrov with a gift-wrapped red button, which said “Reset” in English and “Peregruzka” in Russian. The problem was, “peregruzka” doesn’t mean reset. It means overcharged, or overloaded.

And Lavrov called her out on it.

“We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?” Clinton asked Lavrov.

“You got it wrong,” Lavrov said. “This says ‘peregruzka,’ which means overcharged.”

Ouch. You just know Hillary dropped a few f-bombs she’s famous for back stage after that gift bombed.
