re "The President hinted that Putin’s failure to respond to his voice mails could result in additional sanctions and signaled that he did not intend to call the Russian President again."
Betcha Putin was glad to hear that...
Reminds me of when Obama did a rush trip to the ME (Egypt, I think) direct instead of calling into Israel to brief Netanyahu.....
The outcry in the Israeli media......"How dare he go past the most important man in the world without briefing him as to where he is going and what he is doing".
