The President gave one of his many speeches to a graduating class in Moscow and discussed changes in the world and the changes that have taken place in Russia for the better. I'll admit it is slightly better but the political situation hasn't really changed one stinking bit. Putin ran the country like a dictator and then hand picked Medvedev to make things look like Russia has embraced a new democratic style of government. He even mentioned in one speech that Mr. Medvedev won by 70% a similar number to Amadinejad's margin in Iran and the world knows how much on the up and up that fiasco was. The media is state controlled and the talking heads are told what they can say, ah yes freedom. The KGB has just changed it's name and the government Nationalizes any essential business that they don't already have a piece of, sounds a little like the direction a certain country that uses the letters USA as an identifier is going in.
During the speech he specifically mentioned his African ancestry in relation to opportunities available to minorities and others in a free society, but, why is it he never mentions his white ancestry, in fact he goes out of his way to avoid discussing any connection to white people. He's half white you know and was raised by his white grandparents. I'm not saying this made him any better or worse but by his own admission his father was less than a stand up guy. Now I can say I'm not ashamed of my ancestry at all, maybe a little of the Irish but not at all by the German and Russian Jewish parts.
He went on to say that Russia and the US were not destined to be antagonists, that's OK but after his meeting with the real boss Putin, the Russian leader came out and said"On areas that we disagree like Georgia, I don't anticipate a meeting of the minds anytime soon", directness is one of the few likable attributes that Putin possesses. If the Prez wants to forge a lasting partnership with the Russians, it will take China turning on the rest of the world to have that happen and then it will last about as long as the alliance lasted during and after WWII.
We have to deal with the Russians but we should deal with extreme caution. Earlier today some liberal mush brain was sounding off about the wisdom of the US destroying it's entire nuclear arsenal and if this was accomplished the rest of the world would follow, sure they would, after they enslaved us all and or extorted every concession that could be wrung from neutered society by an enemy. I hope Mr. Obama woke up to the smell of some really strong Russian coffee while they were there and came to his senses a little, but I don't think so.
