#2 Rolled at the handshake. I wonder what he caved on after that to regain their affection.

#3 Well, it is a blood sport. If you think Chicago has a tough political hierarchy, welcome to the real world. Keep groveling and apologizing for any and all imagined imperfections of America in a world of Darwin and it's only going to get more 'embarrassing' for you. When you're just a product of the nurturing of the socia!ist dialectic, why should the elders of socia!ism consider you anything less than their tool.

#5 What Zhang said. When the Russians want to play hardball, you'll know it.

Case in point: Angela Merkel's afraid of dogs. At the last meeting with her, Putin brought in a German shepherd and sat him down at Merkel's feet.

#7 Good question. I can't watch it often enough. I thought others might be suffering the same malady. Sorry for the redux.

#9 Back in the olden dayz, didn't burly ruskies use to greet each others with sloppy kisses on the mouth? THIS I'd pay to see, hell, two russians to hold barry down, and, here we go. Come on, for tradition's sake. Tough love, really.

#10 Medvedev had Obama sit in a six inch high kiddie chair before the press. Had Obama knees up to his eyeballs, making the taller Obama look like a goofball. Also during a press conference when Obama went to shake Med's hand and press the flesh, Med was dismissive and didn't even bother looking Obama's way.
