If Obama will try "bad ass" acts, Russians won't be short of answers. They generally know power poker - though apparently they have to figure out financial assaults for now.

Medvedev's omission could be a serious sign. Russia might be comfortable enough with continuation of Bush's power doctrines. How much will Obama dare?

Re: Europe (none / 1)

Is it not odd, even in this most Obama-positive forum, how the language of the "street black" creeps into the discourse?
"Bad-Ass" Obama.

Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.

Re: Europe (none / 1)

I actually recognize having Russia as "bad ass" in my mind, as I was expecting some signal of better will towards the changing US administration.

However, it is interesting to think, how much racist shades Russian rulers may have.
