Obama having to sit through the indignity of Putin lecturing him on the cold war is another stain this guy is leaving on the presidency.

Obama didn't get some lecturing about the cold war, they did have good conversation. Conversation that is leading to the reduction in nuclear weapons. Something that your party in recent years hasn't accomplished and hasn't even tried to do. < :-)

Okay daydream, Putin speaking for one solid hour and Obama sitting there with a dumb look on his face is a conversation......right.

Face it, Putin took your Obama to the woodshed today.

Obama is going to need a lot more propping up from the press to help him appear presidential.

Prove that statement. They had a conversation that will lead to the reduction in nukes.

How many nukes have the republicans gotten reduced in the past couple of decades? How many nukes did bush get reduced during his administration?

You can run your republican rheteric, but you can't supply the facts to back up the sludge you post. < :-)

Imagine.... Just imagine, that Obama is looking shell-shocked in front of grade-schoolers while America is being attacked, with a copy of My Pet Goat in his hands. What could possibly look dumber?

We understand, VOR, how proud you are of Putin's performance. In your fantasies, you dream of the president being shown up by every foreign leader, no matter how messed up their country is.

I am less proud of our young President's abilities than proud of Putin. Obama's lack of experience in national security matters is on display leaving only the cult of Obama to kiss his feet. sorry fellas, you guys are too far gone to see things objectively. nice try though.

proud of Putin

That says it all. The wingers really love this guy. They worship him. 2012, Putin and Palin for the Republicants ticket. They both can see each other from their houses.

Putin knows if he just throws Obama a few bones, like letting U.S. aircraft fly over Russian airspace, he'll have his way with him.

you are absolutely right Sarge, Putin knows how to play Obama like a fiddle. The Russians are licking their chops. They know they are not reckoning with a statesman like Reagan but merely dealing with a community organizer of about equal stature of Al Sharpton. Without playing the race card all Obama can do is apologize, give away the farm and apologize. While the cult of Obama fool themselves into believing their wet behind the ears president is saving America from itself, the rest of us who really do care about freedom and democracy know otherwise. Watch Obama put American lives further in danger when he announces the end of missile defense.

Reagan, who nearly agreed to give away all U.S. nukes at Reykjavik? Reagan, who proposed giving the Soviets Star Wars technology carte blanche? Reagan, who once claimed there was no word for "freedom" in the Russian language? Oh, love is blind to the cult of Reagan.

I suppose I'd prefer wet behind the ears to nothing between them.

I think that just about says it all. It speaks volumes considering all that Obama accomplished.

Excuse me sarge, just what did Putin get? ref.: "he'll have his way with him."

gD - It's not so much what Putin got this week, as what he'll get in the coming months and years.

Not gonna happen. Wouldn't be prudent.

I guess Putin doesn't mind that Obama will not agree to preventing Georgia and Ukraine from joining NATO. I guess Putin did not want Obama to agree to end the missile defense plans. I guess Putin liked getting schooled for its war last year with Georgia; getting rebuffed on insisting that Georgia's breakaway republics, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, are independent nations; and for interfering in Ukrainian politics. I guess Putin wanted to be schooled on Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, the Rule of Law, Equal Protection under the Law, Right to Assembly. Putin wanted to hear Obama's discontent with squelching dissent and engineering deeply flawed elections.
