Alienating the Russians
In the Age of Obama

When Obama is elected, 'The United State of America (name changed to honor President Obama) will again be respected and loved by the world.' (The Globe is warming up to us.)

There seems to be some flaws in that argument. I'm not just talking about France's Sarkozy's dissing of Obama. I'm actually talking about the new American attitude that is infuriating other nations.

Back in 2005, with Bush as President:

In the inaugural edition, "Cocktails 2005," vodka was king

.Now in 2009, with Obama as President:

It's now official (and not a moment too soon): Vodka is passé.

Small wonder that the Russians are getting more obnoxious and antagonistic toward us.
