It looks like Bush and Putin talk with each other some. Since I assume that the President hasn't learned Russian (boy, wouldn't that really frost David Gregory!!!), does anyone know if that means that Putin is really making strides in his quest to learn English?

Actually there was item in UK News of the World year ago There was report that Vlad was taking english lessons he practice on Bawa WAWA from ABC news Going back to Pontiff here Well there is ancient law back in da day that Pope can retired I have feeling this Pope going serve out his term but would cut back on foreign trips He probably stick around the Vatican more often

Around the time of the first Bush - Putin meeting, I read a report that Putin said he spends an hour a day learning English. At their first meeting in Europe, they walked and spoke together alone, in English -- you probably saw that. Anyway, I'm guessing Putin has the motivation to learn it as well as he can, considering the direction Russia is going. And Putin seems to be someone who likes being educated.
