Outreach

Obama finds out not everyone get a thrill up their leg when they meet him. Some don't even want to shake his hand.

This is actually pretty extraordinary. Obama offers his hand five times, and everyone ignores him to shake Medvedev's hand. I can't recall ever seeing a POTUS snubbed this way.

So much for the reset button (you remember, the button that didn't actually say reset because the Obamateurs couldn't translate "reset" into Russian). It looks they reset relations to about 1948. At least we won't lose China again.

Honestly, I felt sorry for him. He ran on being Barack Obama and these people, unlike the U.S. media, aren't fawning over him and wonderful his life story of overcoming diversity with empty slogans. It appears to be a quite a shock for Barry that Russians don't care. Toward the end he looks very unsure of himself, like maybe he's going to cry.

I take that back, I feel sorry for our country. Obama has been projecting weakness by telling everyone America has been awful and how sorry we are, and now the leader of the free world is being treated as a weakling. How the hell did we wind up on the moral low ground to the country that propagated an ideology responsible for 100 million deaths? If this is indicative of how the negotiations over ABMs and events like the Georgia invasion are going to go, there may be serious problems ahead.
