2. When he does it in front of 50 UK reporters, I'll be impressed.

10. Excellent
My grandfather was born in Russia -- a Russian Jew, does that mean I am a Russian Citizen as well as an American? I think that the transformation of Russia in becoming a -- liberal democracy -- was a wonderful thing... and being a liberal; as well as part Russian could mean that we could help each other, but I "hate' communism.
