Really? That must have been some scene. Though from what we know about Obama, he probably agreed with Putin´s version of the Cold War. You remember what he said after Danny Ortega of Nicarague had attacked the US for about 50 minutes: "I'm grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for the things that occurred when I was three months old." Some way to stand up for the country he represents.

He sure loved lecturing Obama on the cold war for the first hour of their meeting this morning. Major Garrett on Fox said that he was told Obama didn't get to say a word, but had to just sit there and listen to what the cold war was REALLY about for an entire hour. I love the idea of Obama being schooled by Putin. That cracks me up. Putin knows he's got a smart-mouthed, idealogical, and unrealistic star child on his hands.

No, what you really are is an overwriter who thinks she is a wordsmith and psychologist, but is neither.

Go act.

I think Vladimir Putin is longing for the days when he had a real United States president, a real capitalist president, to spar with. Deep down, I bet he has more affection for the USA than Obama does.

The main problem is that a huge percentage of the electorate will hear the Lapdog Media blame the Republicans and believe that they somehow are responsible.

I agree with you but this one is one of the very few that is very good. You really get a feel for what the time period was like.

What gave you that romantic idea? A guy like Putin never wants for more or better enemies.

Putin is a smart strategist. Where he comes from, it´s a matter of survival. Not every KGB functionary becomes leader of a violently corrupt superpower. Putin is also a stone cold killer.

Obama? A Chicago rabble rouser with a great voice and delusions of grandeur. That´s good enough to make clueless Americans swoon. But Obama never got smashed in the mouth (literally or figuratively). No, Putin must be happy to have such a guy sitting across from him.

Hey El Gordo, I don't take anything personally… . I'm an actress. People saying hateful things about you is pretty much a norm. I am, however, having difficulty dealing with stupidity and ignorance. I just wish the current crop of contrarians would be a little more informed before they shoot off their mouths. It would make debate much more enlightening.

Don´t take it personal. I think he is a contrarian. Any great Republic must have a number of them.
