With the G8 summit comming up in early spring, Medvedev needs to start right away. Also Russia is looking forward to working with some intelligence, it has been a long time coming, (8 years)
Just think two young World Leaders. I know Putin will be in the wings listening to the new US President. Your right a US President with intelligence and that famous smile.

Yes Bush is allowed for 8 years to break the law but Obama has to follow the law. If Obama were to touch a blackberry the GOP would start impeachment hearings.
