obama in moscow
so obama delivers his motherhood-and-apple-pie speech to russia’s future movers and shakers and receives a warmly appreciative response.
which it must be said is more than he got from it’s current leaders. though to be fair, at least medvedev made an effort at looking friendly.
putin by contrast wore the just-seen-my-arse-again-and-didn’t-like-the-look-of-it expression so beloved by soviet gerontocrats of old.
perhaps he was just confused by referrals to medvedev as mr. president.
do svidaniya baboushka!
