I hope both President Obama and President Medvedev can come to agreement on some important issues. I'm very grateful to see the improved tone in relations between the US and Russia. I have great respect for Russia's history and everything the country has accomplished. - Your US Friends

Yes - the tone of the public address they had today was very even-tempered and had a different tone than the previous US Administration. I believe Presidents Obama and Medvedev can see their way onto some new territory between our countries, and I for one and glad for it! The Russian people do need to know that "regular people" in the U.S. feel No ill will toward them - on the contrary I have found them to be forward-thinking people, of those I have interacted with on the internet in various social circles. I'm so glad to see these talks start so well! Come Together! A Kentucky Citizen - of the World
