From the Daily Mail Blogs:

Russia may set up air bases in Cuba and Venezuela. I guess that’s Vlad’s answer to that please-be-my-friend letter that President Obama sent.

The not-yet-ready president is going to have to play commander-in-chief. Ready or not, here comes Russia.

Let me make this clear: George Bush screwed up with his when-I-look-him-in-the-eye-Vlad-is-kinda-purty talk.

We need John McCain: “When I look into his eyes I see three letters: KGB.”

But we have Barack Obama.

And we have this report from RIA, the Russian news service: “Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has proposed to Russia using a Venezuelan island for temporary hosting of Russian long-range aviation, a top-ranking Russian Air Force official said Saturday.”

And from CNN: “Russia expressed interest in using Cuban airfields during patrol missions of its strategic bombers, Russia’s Interfax news agency reported.”

And from Bloomberg: “Russia could land strategic bombers at Cuban and Venezuelan airfields while conducting patrols, the head of the Russian strategic air force was quoted as saying by the Interfax news service.”

Whoa.

This is serious. This is politics-ends-at-the-water’s-edge stuff.

Pray for the president. He must succeed in this.

I don’t know what Obama is doing this weekend, but whatever it is, he had better drop it and head back to the White House (or the equally secure Camp David).

President Obama’s overtures to Russia and Cuba have been answered.

They think he is a lightweight.
