Russia
Tim Russert's question about the next Russian president was an excellent one. I thought both candidates flubbed it. Clinton's response may have been adequate had she not mutilated Medvedev's name. Then, when Russert corrected her, she responded with, "Whatever!" I thought that was highly unpresidential. The poor women is fighting tooth and nail but coming undone a bit in the process. Obama did better to dodge the question all together. In both cases, their ignorance of the issue is somewhat alarming. What's worse, the American people can't hold them to account because we're even more clueless. It goes to show that all the bickering and back and forth on frivolous issues is at the expense of the real ones. The media ought to be making up for the people's ignorance and getting their backs but they're too busy trying to get ratings, making the problem even worse.
