Him trying to find a peaceful solution does not make him look like a whimp. I'd rather he try diplomacy than we end up like we have for the past eight years under a cowboy regime that did nothing but make us disrespected around the world.

my oh my he really does not get it.

C'mon, give this administration a chance. Sure, we'll have a few missteps and what message it is that we are sending the world, but the jump from Junior Senator to supreme head of the main world superpower is not a transition that is going to happen overnight. For now, let's just take a moment and say, " Hooray for America! We elected Obama! " It just feels good.

President Bush started this by trying to put a missle defense system on Russia's borders. Like we would stand for them putting one in Mexico. You right wingers have no solutions except crying, whinning and name calling. Bullies just like your previous President. Keep working Mr President Obama, it is such a pleasure to have a President who actually thinks and plans.

matt

8 years of Bush wasting money and lives. A quagmire in Iraq that has brought us to the brink of bankruptcy. Any lame excuse to keep pushing more money and resources there.
He took his eye off the ball and Putin made him (and us) pay. Yeah, matt, it is his fault. And Cheney's fault. And Rumsfeld's fault. And the fault of those in congress (both sides) who did not call him on this.

So Peter

its Bush fault that Russia is supplying Iran with nuclear material and its bush fault that Russian wants to rebuild the Soviet Union and retake the countries that seperated in the early 90s and its Bush fault that Russia is supplying weapons to Chevos regime and its Bush fault that Russia violates US airspace daily specially near alaska or just the other day two Russian bombers invades Canadian airspace and were escorded out by canadian airforce and its bushs fault of Russia crimes in Chechnya. Obama talks peace while our enemies build bombs

THE RUSSIANS LEAKED THE BARACK LETTER.....

Pretty funny, the naive boy strikes again.

No surprise here, Obama was planning on scrapping this missile system to use the dollars for his social programs.

Yeah he reached out and they laughed at him…..Way to give in Obama and they made you look stupid. looks like he is not the world savior he thought he was
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
I agree, except that I think that Obama made all of us look stupid. I think that Obama should have known better and I think any other past president would have.

For the record: Putin personally shot down this idea this morning.
So for all of you that seem blind to everything except the words of Obama, his plan failed and has not worked. Putin will not consider the two linked in any way. Wake up and smell what you are shoveling.

Did Obama" look into his eye's"and see a good man he could trust?

So next we will offer to give South Korea to North Korea if they agree to halt their nuclear program? Wait, didn't they halt the program for aid? Oh yeah, and once they got the aid they restarted the program.

My 14 year old 8th grader knows that a bully will take your lunch money right up until you punch his lights out. Russia is a bully.

Leave it to the right wing whiners to jump all over this. Bush made the world infinitely more dangerous over the last 8 years. Obama is taking a prudent course in fixing the problem but all you guys can do is whine.
The right wing is broken, out of ideas, and clueless. Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Yeah he reached out and they laughed at him.....Way to give in Obama and they made you look stupid. looks like he is not the world savior he thought he was

That is not for you to decide, Mr Obama. It is for Europe to make that decision. Plus if you don't do it, then Israel/Europe will leave you to fight your own battles.

Umm think he should be talking to Putin. that is whom you have to worry about. So he should then tell Russian to stop supplying the items necessary for the nuclear! I trust Russia as much as i do Obama! not much! and by the way, on MSNBC last night Barney Frank annouced he wants to see 25% cut in defense. Here goes our country!

I don't know where to put this on CNN....

but...Thank You President Obama for your support to the agenda of ridding cancer...partiicularly for the enormous funding....
somewhere out there ..there is a brain who was given the tools to come up with the solution for this....we are waiting.....God Bless!

Can you hear that(handtoear)!? Putin is laughing....

Why does the US need a missile shield? Another waste of billions of tax payer money for what something that we hope will work. Anyone can shoot down a missile in test. You know where the missile is being shot from already. Iran nor North Korea poses a nuclear threat to the US using nuclear missiles. These countries know that if they even launch a nuclear attack on any US Base that the US response would destroy their entire country. Its called nuclear deterence. These nations think that if they get nukes they will be able to do as they please with out the rear of being attacked. Look at Pakistan. they are one of the biggest safe havens and supporters of terrorist and we sit back like they are our allies and they are really helping US. Please america wake up. Pakistan supports the Taliban and its amazing how their are villages in Pakistan territory full of thousands of Taliban fighters but hey we will not attack those villages, why because Pakistan said so. Who is really in charge. The whole war on terrorism needs to be done covert. You let your enemy know where you are they just regroup some palce else. Look at whats going on in Somolia, Yemen and a few other hot spots that are about to start boiling.

After Russia's treatment of the Ukraine over natrual gas supplies I think it's just a wonderful idea to make our country's security more and more dependent on them.

Ask the freezing Eastern Europeans how well that worked out for them.

I wonder what Obama sees when he looks into their eyes.

Here's an idea, ask the Russians to build the new and improved Marine One....they can get the plans for it from the Iranians.

Barack is a big WIMP.

Scared of Russia. Good job. This is the second coming of JIMMY

CARTER. Wait we will have a repeat of the HOSTAGE situatuation in

IRAN or some similar act. They would not give back the hostages

until President Reagan was in office because they feared him.

Barak is a weak man and is always ready to give in. Very limp proposition carried by a very limp impotent man.

Pay the terrorist in Hamas to not shoot rockets off in Palestine which they will still do.

Pay North Korea not to build Nukes which they will still do.

NOW he wants to GIVE a TRILLION dollar stimulus to the world bank
because he believes in socialism of the world. FIX HOME BARACK.

GREAT A WORLD ECONOMY. STOP SPENDING MONEY.

It is refreshing to have a President who is reaching out instead of playing cowboys and indians. I just hope the American people give this man some time to try to work things out both economically and with foreign policy. After all he has only been in office a little over 30 days. I watch TV and hear these so called "pundits" who seem to know everything but who have never held office in their lives and it is certainly depressing. I wish just once one of them would have an answer. Instead, I listen to my President.

He should have written the letter to Putin...you know, the real leader of Russia. If you can look deep into his eyes, you can see his soul (two black empty holes, that is).

haha....yeah George Bush this is how it is done!

Did any of you Obamabots read how Putin said this morning...."Iran and the missle shield aren't related and we won't connect them"

Yep that is how it is done....

Why doesn't anyone have the cajones to stand up and say Rush Limbaugh is not the leader of the Republican Party? Yes he is an important voice for the base. Yes he exhibits (for the most part) core conservative ideology. But his tone is negative and negativity detracts from our message and the possibility of getting Democrats and more importantly Independents to subscribe to the Republican philosophy.

Stop saying that hes a "great leader" because hes not.
Stop turning around and apologizing to him when you disagree with him. Because usually he's wrong.

This is called DIPLOMACY and using your head instead of blindly using brute force to bull your way through something that required a light touch. Bush and his cowboy wannabe ways could learn something from watching a REAL president work like he should have done. Remove the missile shield, Russia puts pressure on Iran to stop the crap, the region cools down a bit, this takes the urge for North Korea to develop nukes down a notch because he sees what Russia is doing to Iran's ambitions and knows they can influence China..more cooling down of frustrated potential allies...see where this is leading? No World War III would be a nice outcome. Keep doing your best President Obama, You're doing an excellent job so far and you haven't even been on vacation yet like some other tool we remember!

Voice of reason.

Thank you, President Obama!

We have to sense a certain subtle element of hawkish overtone in BHO's letter to Medvedev, with reference to the mercurial mullahs who manage Iran's inroads into its indigenous induction of nuclear energy possibly for weapon category. Already the GOP is upbeat about the slightly delayed departure if US troops from Iraq. His Iranian intentions are viewed with much less vitriol and vituperation, barrin' certain Dems. Ain't it a reasonable balancin' act of Barrack, to banish the fear in Bushies, who were all for belligerent bouts of bravery abroad?.

Hell, -–we can`t afford to go forward with the missle plan anyway – Not nowdays !!!

This seems like a win-win. First, we ease the tension in Europe by not antagonizing an already temperamental Russia. The missile defense shield was a real bone of contention for them and may have fomented another invasion. Secondly, we gain the most valuable possible partner in blocking Iranian nukes. Thirdly, we save a bunch of money that would have been spent on the shield...I guess that makes it a win-win-win.

See George W Bush I hope you are watching. It's called using your brain efficiently. You can neglect Russia or consider them as an ennemy and expect to win a war in Irak or in Afghanistan in a cowboy style.They are a power player in the region and they weight heavily on these contries.

Be careful when reaching out to the Old Bear, Obama. It has very sharp claws.

It's not a secret letter. Anymore.

Is it me ...or is this an odd approach?

Diplomacy. What a refreshing idea.

let see what happen.
