USA's President was not majority vote and has created much change. War that has been raging over the years plummeting American economy, gas prices approaching a record high and no evidence of a "safer nation".

Face the facts that even if you might have a prejudice and old-fashioned narrow view of Russia it is a secure nature and a thriving one. Citizens do love Putin and Medvedev and they feel secure, not ALL but thats why its democracy. Thank you America for raising Russia profit with gas ♥
