I guess it didn't take all that long for Obama to be tested after all



MOSCOW — President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia greeted his future American counterpart, Senator Barack Obama, with bristling language on Wednesday, promising to place short-range missiles on Russia’s western border if Washington proceeded with its planned missile defense system in Eastern Europe.
In a speech to the Federal Assembly, Mr. Medvedev said Russia had “no inherent conflict with America” and invited the new administration to start afresh with Moscow. However, he did not congratulate Mr. Obama on the election he had won only hours before, or even mention him by name.

Later in the day, the Kremlin announced that Mr. Medvedev had sent Mr. Obama a congratulatory telegram

I read this article yesterday and my first thought was.. A Telegram? Are we back in 1930, what the f*ck, why didn't he just send smoke signals or send him a note by carrier pigeon, I'm almost 33 and I have NEVER gotten a telegram in my entire life. The ONLY way this is acceptable is if the Telegram from Medvedev was delivered by some singing topless chick in a nurses outfit.

I didn't realize that Obama was part of the original NWA
Also heard on CNN that people call Rahm Emanuel "Rahmy" because although he is such a bulldog behind the scenes he is really just kind of a sissy. He was a ballet dance for years.
Just realized that we were one big Revered Wright outburst away from having a vice-president who didn't realize that Africa was a continent and couldn't name the three countries part of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Talk about dodging a bullet.
