Topic of the Day: Candidates on Russia
Posted 12 weeks 6 days ago byA new poll finds that likely voters are much more comfortable with how John McCain would deal with Russia than how Obama would.
Quinnipiac University finds that American likely voters say 55 to 27 percent that McCain is better qualified than Obama to deal with Russia, according to a QU release.
Who do you think would better deal with Russia? Why?

McCain Hands down
Submitted on August 19th, 2008 by AnonymousAnyone who remotely suggests Obama is better on Foreign policy and dealing with Russia and Putin is seriously mentally ill.
They would need prozac and what is sad is its the darn truth!

Foreign policy experience??
Submitted on August 19th, 2008 by BeoObama claims that he lived in Jakarta, Indonesia, and travelled to Pakistan as a young man. If that is what makes one have foreign policy, then my daughter has visited at least ten more countries than Barry. And she actually got to spend several months in these countries, not days. Oh, I forgot he just added Europe to his experience at the expense of the American taxpayers and campaign contributors. Bill Clinton was right when he said that Obama's campaign was fantasyland. It would be laughable except for the fact that many people actually buy into this. Personally, I think Caroline and Ted Kennedy's endorsement lent the campaign credibility. The Kennedys did this country a great disservice by pushing this guy. This is affirmative action at its very worst.

Obama
Submitted on August 19th, 2008 by rom12921would frustrate Putin to exhaustion by never giving a straight answer.
Assuming no nukes are used, the use of the UN, stop fighting, let's try to talk this out strategy would be so cumbersome, indecisive and exhaustive Russia would rather cease and desist then here another of President Obama's intellectual dissertation.
President Obama, after consulting his grandma, would be better at wearing down the opponent.
McCain == for sure
Submitted on August 19th, 2008 by John 2000Let's forget the silly polls for now : There is nothing I trust less than poll driven politics, especially in complex international matters.
Putin would eat Obama alive and pick his teeth with Obama's bones.
Obama is on record saying he knows more about foreign policy than the others combined. Really, how much more absurd can the guy get?
