Sorry, but President Obama, you are No Ronald Reagan! Your negotiations with the Russian "duo" resulted in a virtual complete sell out. The plain fact is, you were out bullied by the master. Putin is still in charge, and the absurd statement by George Bush that he looked into Putin's soul and saw a good man, is now amplified by his successor's pathetically weak and sloppy negotiations.
What scares me is that the next step will be an Obama capitulation on the installation of a missile defense system, for Poland. Right after their meeting, Putin issued a press release that said that the US position on defense was a barrier to any success. So, for Obama to have a victory, he will be tempted TO COMPROMISE ON MISSILE DEFENSE. Ha, compromise would be capitulation to the bully. At least george Bush realized the absurdity of his view of the soul, and backed off; I fear Obama will not have the courage to tough it out.
