It didn’t take 6 months for the bad guys to create a crisis to test the new guy, it only took 6 hours. The Ruskies are on the move! Will the new Prez blink?
And what exactly is Obama supposed to do about this right now? Make faces?

The “Prez” of Russia is coming to the US for a G-8 get together, and wants a face to face with “The One,” to take his temperature.
This move was delayed a week to roll it out the day after the election.

Sooooooooo, that’s a simple courtesy call, isn’t it? Did you miss diplomats’ school too?
Don’t forget Russia has a sea of oil as well as Iraq and the report came from that bastion of neutrality and balance. Fox News.
Did I miss the period in history where Russia reprogrammed its nukes to not target US cities? (Or the US did likewise for Moscow and Leningrad?) This isn’t what I’d call a crisis, just more of the recent same from Moscow–who’s long decried our missile defense. (What–we expected them sit quietly?)
Now, if they moved missiles into Poland…

Don’t take Fox News’ word for it, take a look here. I do not find it strange at all that it is not reported on ABC, CBS, NBC or The Huffington Post.

Nope, don’t think so. He is coming to take Obama’s temperature. To see if Obama has a spine.
Oh Steve! Are we a little sad today? It will be okay.

Well, Kevin, I hope they don’t. It all depends on how the meeting comes out.
So you mean if Obama like, stares him down, or maybe draws a line in the dirt when they are at recess, he’ll take the missiles away?
Maybe they can have a staring contest, or arm wrestle. Maybe “double dog dares” can be issued. maybe they can have one of those handshake contests and when Obama doesn’t flinch, Putin will surrender?
Because Obama’s not the Commander in Chief yet–it’s still, unfortunately, Bush’s problem. How about instead of this being a test of Obama, this is an attempt by the Russians–another attempt–to exploit Bush’s ineptitude? Or his constitutional weakness as a lame duck
One thing is clear–for Steve, Obama is already guilty. It’s not clear of what, but rest assured, he’s guilty.

There you go again, mike, putting words in someone’s mouth. You didn’t get away with it with Ron, and you won’t get away with it with me.
You claim to be a historian, but you seem to have forgotten history. Go back and take a look at Nikki K’s first meeting with JFK, and the result. Yes, BHO is not yet Prez, but that doesn’t matter in the eyes of Putin and his lackey Medvedev.

Not me, pal. I am on top of the world! It never rains on my parade!
Indeed, nothing is more important at this stage than empty gestures and bellicosity
Maybe Obama should go all ghetto on Putin, bring some of those Chicago thugs you were so worried about?
Hey, maybe he can bring Bill Ayers! Or Rev. Wright! They’re both extremely scary.
Or maybe he can be cool and listen and take appropriate action when he’s actually in charge?

Oh wait…

Where’s your sense of humor, Steve?

The extreme right wing have had their butts kicked.
Get over it.
Get over what? McCain was not running as a Conservative.
