Obama/Putin

As the New York Times reported earlier in the week, there are serious charges that Putin rigged the election: "A day after claiming an overwhelming victory in Russia's presidential election, Vladimir V. Putin on Monday faced a range of challenges to his legitimacy, including charges of fraud from international observers and a defiant opposition that vowed to keep him from serving his full six-year term."

Even the State Department called for an investigation into the election earlier in the week.

Yet with President Obama reportedly calling to congratulate Putin, apparently the White House isn't too concerned with the fraudulent election--or even its worrisome outcome.

Please Explain why Obama would be concerned about a guy that faces a range of challenges to his legitimacy? Why would he care if the guy cheated to get where he is?

Yea that is what I thought He wouldn't because He is facing the same thing as Putin. He didn't call him to congratulate him he called him to tell him to not show fear and a billion or two will quiet the courts if it ever gets that far. :roll:
