Press that Reset Button, Mr. Gorbachev

Lost in a fawning USA mainstream media the fact that President Barack Obama celebrated 2009’s July 4th long weekend by flying off to Moscow. A formal reception line awaited Czar Obama, his family and servants on the tarmac this morning. The first official ceremony saw the American president walking slowly behind three high-stepping Russian soldiers before he bent over to straighten the ribbon of a wreath laid before the eternal flame at Russia’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Day One of the Moscow mission included a visit with Russian President Dimitry Medvedev at the Kremlin, where Obama pronounced: “The United States and Russia have more in common than they have differences.”
