Sadly for us, it appears that Obama’s poker skills are in the same league with his bowling and girly-style baseball throw.

Russia recieved much of what it wants before Obama even landed, i.e. council with NATO, so how would anybody expect Barack to gain advantage? Meanwhile, the Kremlin has failed even to comply with the terms of the truce signed with Georgia last year- continuing to do pretty much as it pleases.

I don’t see any reason to be doing deals with the Russians- they have nothing to offer the United States, IMO.

I'm with Reaganite Republican, I think Russia doesn't have ENOUGH nuclear weapons, not too many! And they're being too helpful with the Iranian nuclear issue. I mean, if they want to sell the Iranians the radar and missiles to vaporize Israeli jet pilots before they even get their tray tables up, hey, who cares? As long as Georgia is moderately tense, we don't have time for girly-style baseball like preventing a horrific region-wide WMD war in the middle east, we gotta think about the redneck backwaters of Europe first!

Like RR, I have absolutely no idea what the Russians could possibly offer the United States. Really, I'm just stumped.
