Hearing Obama speak about Russia

today, and the agreements Russia had with Kennedy and Reagan, and how war was averted over Cuba, and the Berlin Wall, etc.., I wonder if Putin started to like Obama better that he did before the speech.

I'd heard that Putin doesn't like him....our President was somewhat flattering in commenting on Russia's cooperation with our presidents for the good of the planet. Maybe something will be stirred - we did keep our end of the deal, just as they did.

No replies expected here. Just voicing a thought I had when Obama talked about the treaties made so long ago. The good old days that Obama said when things were worse than they are now.

I think it annoys Putin that Obama is greatly admired globally. He'd like some of that IMO...n/t monmouth4 Aug 2015 #1
