Obama Arrives in Russia to Discuss New START Treaty.
Voice of America ^ | July 6, 2009 | Paul Wolfson

Posted on 07/06/2009 5:49:48 AM PDT by mentor2k

U.S. President Barack Obama has arrived in Moscow for talks with Russian leaders, expected to focus largely on arms control.

This is a visit that falls neatly into two parts.

First, President Obama will consult individually with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Then he will focus on improving ties with the Russian people.

In an interview with the Associated Press prior to his departure, Mr. Obama said he has a lot to discuss with President Medvedev. Among them: efforts to replace the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty - or START - that runs out at the end of this year.

I find the last paragraph of this story particularly interesting:

"Proof of the challenge facing President Obama in Russia can be found in a new survey of Russians conducted by the international polling arm of the University of Maryland. It finds that just 23 percent of Russians have confidence in President Obama to do the right thing in international affairs."

The right things from the Russians perspective is complete capitulation by Obama.

Which he will be more than glad to deliver!

Unless he can cut a deal for his fat cat Crony Commies (Goldman), ACORN and LaRaza.

Read Obama's college magazine article on disarmament (pdf). Doesn't seem to match the style of writing in his books about himself, so it's probably real.

I've got a feeling that for the Russians this will be like playing a game of strip poker with a guy who takes off all his clothes before the first hand is dealt.

Start Over = Restart

Oops, that was over charge button wasn’t it?
What are the chances that Obama gives Putin a bailout on this?

I just heard a Fox News Radio blip saying Obama has agreed to reduce nuclear arsenals by half.

Peace is upon us!

Barack Obama to stay at 13,000-dollar luxury suite at Moscow's Ritz-Carlton Hotel

Most likely, the US President will stay in Moscow at Ritz-Carlton Hotel. He can also choose from the luxury residence for guests in the Kremlin or Marriott Grand Hotel, Interfax reports.

The previous US presidents - Bill Clinton and George W. Bush - preferred to stay at Marriott Grand Hotel during their visits to Moscow. The hotel was closed for all other visitors when Bush visited Moscow. The procession of over 40 vehicles and buses accompanied Bush on his way to the hotel.

It’s like watching a Grape Ape cartoon... If her behind gets any bigger, she can apply for statehood. Dresses are made by Abdul the tent maker.

I’m so thrilled to be able to give them a nice little summer family vacation. I can’t afford one of my own, but I do so hope I’ve been able to provide Michelle and the girls some happy memories.
