After passing on dinner with the French president to take a date in the City of Light with his wife last month, President Obama took leave of his Russian hosts on Tuesday night to seclude himself in his Moscow hotel with Michelle and their daughters.
The decision to brush off the Russians on one of his two nights here miffed some in the Moscow government who did not understand why he would not devote the scarce time to his hosts.
Mr. Obama has seemed tired here, several times fumbling the pronunciation of Mr. Medvedevâs name and Mr. Putinâs title. Beginning a speech here, he mistakenly said he first met his wife in school instead of at the law firm where they actually met. And he misstated his youngest daughterâs age.

He didnt have any girlfriend until he met Michelle
Yes, he did. She was a white girl in college who wanted to marry him, but she didn't fit into his racial plans for a political life.

SOMETHING is radically wrong with that creature. His lips were so blue they were damn near purple.
Did anyone else notice this?

I agree. He wanted to avoid him like the plague. Maybe Putin told him he knew he wasn’t born in the US? ;P

He did it in Prague before he did it in Paris.
And the media praised him for it.

"He cannot be himself, he cannot bring his own experience into his black identity.
Steele refers to a scene in Dreams from My Father in which Obama relates the bad breakup with his long-term white girlfriend in New York, saying that he realized that they would always live in different worlds and that he was the one who knew how to live as an outsider."

That photo says it all. Putin has met all kinds of people and has taken Obama’s measure. He can see Obama is an empty headed entertainer. Not a serious leader
Putin came up the hard way
Obama hit the motherlode of white guilt and got elected president

"Beginning a speech here, he mistakenly said he first met his wife in school instead of at the law firm where they actually met."Darn, this is funny. According to:
http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaWife.htm
"Also in 1989, Barack Obama joined Sidley Austin as a summer intern -- and Barack and Michelle meet. -- she was his summer adviser."
