[TheRealThing]

The media are more wise and informed than the President and his entire state department these days. I mean, by way of showdown Reagan did tell MR Gorbachev to "tear down this wall." A statement his having made caused to own state department to go into convulsions as I understand it. He certainly was not about to face off against him on TV and threaten him though, I can tell you that. But during the Obama Administration Putin communicated directly with the American people on matters of foreign policy in an op-ed published in the New York Times. IMHO, the only thing that separated Obama from making complete capitulation with Russia, as I have already stated in the other thread, seemed to have been lack of the required time to do so. What, other than complete capitulation could ever top the ridiculousness of the reset button?

It's incredible to see these writhing and faked, newly found pangs of patriotism on the part of the left. Especially after having had to endure the turbo charged backup gear of the past administration.
