I dont know whats the use of talking anything to Obama... He says one thing and does another.. We have seen and heard his speach during the election times and now its completely opposite.. Its a total waste of time having any kind of dialoge with Obama..

Obama is a shadow president who can be manipulated by Russia. Obama was packaged as being "presidential" while possessing no talents for serving in that office. Obama's lucky break was that his opponent was a decrepit old war-crazed grandpa McCain. Had McCain won the presidency, the relations between Russia and US would have deteriorated, and the US military would already started its third so-called "war" (by attacking Iran). In spite of all his incompetence and childlike behavior, Obama can useful to Russia as a means of minimizing the control the American right-wing and their war lusting pentagon generals have over the American people with their incessant "fear propaganda". This meeting between Obama and Medvedev is a good start in the right direction. I don't expect much from Obama because of his inherent incompetence, and the control his advisors have over him. Whenever he is left to speaking without his tele-prompter, he sound just like a "street organizer" from Chicago, which he is. But, Obama can be a useful tool for Russia. Obama made three major promises while a candidate which helped him win the election: closing Guantanamo prison; pulling out of Iraq; "winning the war in Afghanistan; and, he has failed miserably. Obama also became bewildered about the massive BP oil spill, and has shown no effective leadership in tackling the problem. People who have met with Obama find him to be disinterested in the subject under discussion and generally out of touch with reality. However, Obama can be useful to Russia provided that Russia understands that the real power in the White House is not Obama, but the people who lurk in the shadows of the White House hallways.

Kihnu, If Obama is “our guy”, isn't that mean that Russians should help him (by any possible way) to stay in the Office as long as possible? To prevent the Cold Warrior ghosts (like McCain) to return the past back.
