Chavez , Putin , Reagan

This appears to be another step in extending Russian influence from Georgia to Eastern Europe to Central America? Should we be concerned about the Venezaulan-Russian connection? We should prrobably more concerned with the Iranian-Russian connection (nuclear reactor my ass). 

The next President will inherit some tough circumstances financially- the deficit, debt, Fannie/Freddie bailout, impending GM/Ford problemos, energy, funding (hopefully ending) a war.

These financial concerns may seem easy compared to the geopolitical concerns which remind me of the Ronald Reagan's circumstances he inherited when taking office in 1981. Can you imagine McCain or Obama walking out of Putin or commanding him to tear down a wall? Is the boldness, confidence and determination of a leader evident in the Predidential candidates? We'll see.
