I have to wonder if Obama is getting too much credit for having "thought this through"?

Given the history of this administration's overreaching itself, and lack of depth, IMHO, I expect a simpler reason.

On his last visit to the former USSR, Zero sat quietly through a lecture from Putin. He revisits the region in about two weeks, if I recall correctly. Methinks Zero is just looking for a pat on the head from Putin for having rolled over for him; on second thought perhaps a scratch of the tummy.
