The republican talking point that began right away was that Putin would never had moved into the Ukraine under Bush. Considering Putin had no problem moving into and claiming part of Georgia, it sheds light on the motivations of said talking point. One could only imagine if it had been Obama that had gazed into Putin's eyes and saw his spiritual brother?
Last Sunday I watched Face the Nation host a whole slew of republicans with variations of the same talking point. It was surreal seeing Charlie Rose ask Cheney of all people about the President's credibility. Trying to generalize the media as carrying water for Obama is obviously and demonstratively untrue.
