What is President Bush going to do about it?
It's pretty obvious Sea Demon that you are one of those who are not even going to give your own President a chance to prove himself. How sad that you wish to see President Elect Obama fail and along with him your own nation.

You got it wrong. This is not good at all. This is obviously aimed at Obama. The Russians simply were not going to maneuver this far while Bush was a viable President. Bush is now on the way out, and is politically chained at this point. And the Russians know it. My hope would be that Obama would stand up to these cretins. Will he? I have serious doubts he could. He has shown nothing in him as being able to posture affirmatively against this type of hard power play. The Russians are moving missiles closer to Europe........anybody think an Obama administration can or will confront it? He will after all go to the negotiations table without any pre-conditions? Remember? Smells like an appeaser to me. Medvedev and Putin know exactly what they're up against. Obama will leave the Europeans to fend for themsleves if Russia decides to "exert their influence" over European interests. And I take no comfort in any of it from an American perspective looking in geostrategically. If it comes down to that, the Europeans may come to regret our choice this year. |
Yeah, and perhaps you have it wrong. How about you just wait and see how this plays out after Obama becomes President? Then judge him based on his record and actions as President. I see nothing different from your train of thought to those on the far left who slammed President Bush before he even took office. Give the guy a darn chance.
