It's your love of Obama that is clouding your vision on this, not my contempt for Obama. The anti-Obama folks here, I htink, are seeing this for what it is...another reduction in American supremacy at the hands of Obama.

True that Jim!
In fact the ones that are actually giving Putin credibility are sitting in the Whitehouse or Genova
