What are you getting? Youre getting the same thing you got when he sold out Honduras to Chavez over that non-coup coup they staged: The warm fuzzy glow of knowing that George Bush would heartily disapprove.
But some members of Obamas own party, however, had a simple question for the administration: if this was a return to realism, and a concession to Russias long and vocal opposition to the missile program, what, exactly, was the U.S. getting in return for fundamentally changing it?

Are you talking about your daughter? ;)
If I have a daughter, she is more likely living in Panama that in Russia. Well, at least she would have a better accent and wouldn’t be supporting a deluded regime with imperial aspirations.
I wonder if the Russians got their hands on the Kenyan birth certificate.
