I blame a general ignorance of Russia, and Russian politics.

Churchill's words are just as true today, as they were back then....

"I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest."

Again, precisely why it is disconcerting to watch FReepers fawn over someone whose interests do not regard the United States.

Let's face it . . . we are stuck with Obama. That doesn't mean we need to admire someone who Obama aspires to be.
