Obama Channels Stalin

Obama touting the success of his "reset" of America's relationship with Russia is a lot like the easiest girl in high school touting her "popularity". President Obama who has not hesitated to bow to other leaders and apologize for America's existence appears to think that he can have diplomatic success by ingratiating himself with other leaders. However, quoting Stalin by referring to WWII as "The Patriotic War" was a bit over the top.

The Democrats have falsely blamed Bush for an erosion of our "relations" with Russia. Any space between the two nations was actually caused by bad actions on the part of Putin. Trifles like invading Georgia and selling weapons to Iran. Why should Putin or his puppet Medvedev behave when they know any outrageous thing they do will be blamed on Bush.

I suppose the Obama Administration has to point to some diplomatic success. Since Obama has taken office most of America relationships with our best allies have suffered. Also, the Obama policy of reaching out to the bad guys, Iran, North Korea and others has not born any fruit. Well he may have sold a few more books. These liberal peace-nicks never learn. You simply cannot schmooze a dictator into being a good actor on the world stage. Of, course, I am assuming, maybe falsely, that Obama wants world leaders to behave. Our President may have another agenda.
