CHICAGO, Nov. 8 -- President-elect Barack Obama spoke to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Saturday, another in a series of phone calls he has received from leaders of other nations.

A Kremlin statement said Obama and Medvedev "expressed the determination to create constructive and positive interaction for the good of global stability and development" and agreed that their countries had a common responsibility to address "serious problems of a global nature."

To that end, according to the Kremlin statement, Medvedev and Obama think an "early bilateral meeting" should be arranged.

2. Obama needs to be tough on them RIGHT out of the gate

but then again he also needs to be tough on the president of Georgia too.

Same with his conversations and our diplomacy with Adaniminidad (sp?? lol), Chavez, and all the other tin pot rulers around the world.

3. This testosterone driven foreign policy has gotten us nowhere

Georgia is in the wrong on South Ossetia. Russia is right about Bush's missile defense system being a threat to them.

Let's nip Cold War II in the bud before anyone dies for nothing like they did during the last one.
