Obama is a diplomat first and foremost and so far, things seem to be going well. I think its entirely possible.

New leaders, new time.

Have to be willing to forgive the past to move forward otherwise there will forever be conflicts.

Evolve.

It will be a nice idea, if president Obama and Medveddev could agree on what what I will refer to as a long awaited 'super -world transition ' .

Thank you.

to answer the question is fairly simple:
1. in the past the relationship was based on democracy and freedom versus communism and repression. It was based on America offering ideas that expand freedom to people and Russia working to impose communism on the rest of the world either by working from outside or using the communist manifesto and the atheist handbook to bring nations down from within.
2. at the current time that scenario doesn't apply so yes the relationship must be reset. President Obama believes in socialism. And socialism has very few disagreements with communism. So in essence, President Reagan helped bring the Berlin Wall down ... but President Obama has brought the US to the point of collapse from within. Of course he will spin that and say socialism is a sign of progress above and beyond what we had previously.

Official Russia seems to be more welcoming of the Great One than the Russian street. No cheering crowds lining the avenues as the motorcade drove past, with just a few shouts and waves here and there.

" For when they say " Peace & Safety" Sudden Destruction shall come upon them" " In the Last days people shall run to and fro and knowedge shall be greatly increased". The day will come when Russia, Iran and the Arab nations will attack Israel & they will be defeated By God . watch for it.
