Obama's First U.S.-Russian Summit Yields Progress

Kucera kowtows

Nothing was accomplished by the great apologizer in Russia!

A wasted trip at taxpayer's expense. Michelle did get her $6,000 handbag while more American workers lost their jobs!

The First Photogenic Family got lots of memories.

Do you suppose Barack found time to read the Encyclical that the Pope handed to him and he promise to read on his way to Ghana?

Did the President Do A Little History "ReWriting"??

What was with President Obama's speech in Russia -- as pertains to the cold war??

"Like President Medvedev and myself, you're not old enough to have witnessed the darkest hours of the Cold War, when hydrogen bombs were tested in the atmosphere, and children drilled in fallout shelters, and we reached the brink of nuclear catastrophe. But you are the last generation born when the world was divided. At that time, the American and Soviet armies were still massed in Europe, trained and ready to fight. The ideological trenches of the last century were roughly in place. Competition in everything from astrophysics to athletics was treated as a zero-sum game. If one person won, then the other person had to lose.

And then, within a few short years, the world as it was ceased to be. Now, make no mistake: This change did not come from any one nation. The Cold War reached a conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years, and because the people of Russia and Eastern Europe stood up and decided that its end would be peaceful.

With the end of the Cold War, there were extraordinary expectations -- for peace and for prosperity; for new arrangements among nations, and new opportunities for individuals. Like all periods of great change, it was a time of ambitious plans and endless possibilities. But, of course, things don't always work out exactly as planned. Back in 1993, shortly after this school opened, one NES student summed up the difficulty of change when he told a reporter, and I quote him: "The real world is not so rational as on paper." The real world is not so rational as on paper."

I could have sworn the US and NATO had a significant role in ending the cold war. Guess I was just wrong! Glad President Obama squared us away!!

Russian President Medvedev Should Come Up With Smart Ideas Similar To Those Of Ex-Soviet Dictator Mikhail Gorbachev

Russian President Medvedev Should Come Up With Smart Ideas Similar To Those Of Ex-Soviet Dictator Mikhail Gorbachev

By: Jordan C. Fan, Prophet of Environment.

The last entry of thia discussion is about the SALT Treaty of nuclear reduction. The following are some extremely intelligent ideas dreamed up by Ex-Soviet Dictator Mikhail Gorbachev which should also implement by Medvedev:

(1) Make sure his name sake "Michael Jackson could receive address in Russia" so that Mikhail can regain his power and live in that address.

(2) Tatooed) his own forehead with the map of the Philippines Islands thinking that could make that nation unite with the Soviet Union.

(3) Put Boris Yeltsin on top of his miliary tanks thinking that could make (Bor)is Yelt(sin) confessed to his (sin)s and a(bor)t his Revolution.

(4) Invited Osama bin Laden to his Opium smoking party in Afghanistan because he thought whoever has a name starting with an "O" could increase his opium production there.

(5) Invited Barack Obama to swim with him at his Black Sea resort so that no one could see or rescue Obama when he was drowning.

(6) Didn't believe in the possible success of Reaganomic because Gorbachev thought Reagan was just acting.

(7) "Tear down that (Berlin) Wall!" so that Russian tanks could roll into West Berlin.

(8) Gorbachev thought China are only cups and dishes for drinking and eating. He was perfectly "comfortable when China is rising." and even enjoy it thinking it was an act in the "Mary Poppins" movie.

(9) Supported Soviet boycott of the Los Angeles Olympic anticipating earthquakes would destroy California. It would certainly save him money by not using nuclear missiles.

(10) Replace Russian Black Market with his own "Free Market" to put African-American spy network in the Soviet Union out of business. Or is it really a "Flea Market"?

(11) Endorsed the SALT Treaty thinking it was just a requisition for condiments. As a result all his nuclear missiles were destroyed.
