Hey "truth": let me remind you that Obama quit in the middle of his first term as senator to run for president. Take that.

The "economic crisis" slapped the writing on the wall. Putin and Obama realize that the two (once great?) super powers can no longer afford pure military might as a means of exerting power. The up and comers aren't burdened with such burdens.

If China / India / Brazil can figure out a way around MAED (Mutually Assured Economic Destruction) then they'll be in a position to "pull the plug" on the US (or Russia), or at least exert more influence. Bombing in response an attack is not going to seem appropriate.

The 21st century is not going to be like the 20th.

What's this? Silver-tongued Obama can't pronounce names? I thought only Bush was too stupid to pronounce names correctly.

I wonder how WNYC would cover this if Sarah Palin couldn't pronounce Medvedev.
