President Obama dismayed America's allies in Europe and angered his political opponents at home today when he formally ditched plans to set up a missile defence shield in Poland and the Czech Republic.
The project had been close to the heart of Mr Obama's predecessor, President Bush, who had argued before leaving office in January that it was needed to defend against long-range ballistic missile attacks from rogue states such as Iran and North Korea.
But it had hobbled relations with Russia, which considered it both a security threat and an unnecessary political provocation in its own backyard.

How about this headline and article: Polish PM wouldn't take U.S. calls
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed today that he declined last night to take a call from the U.S. informing him of the decision to scrap planned missile-defense bases in his country.
Two U.S.-based sources close to the Polish government said Thursday that Tusk also rejected a call from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — on the grounds that, as the head of the government, he should speak to the president.

All of you ask yourself this question: Who is Obama pleasing with this deal? Our allies in Europe do not like the idea. Russia does. Where was PM Putin on September 10 2009? Why he was in Venezuela with another one of Obama's dear friends Hugo Chavez.
And what were they discussing? Hugo Chavez wants to join the nuclear energy club and is looking to Russia for help in getting started. The socialist president is closely allied with Iran and defends its nuclear program.
Here is that article: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hk9wRad6D4mpLEA24Ag1XNyXGW0gD9AO5IFO1
So why is it that our President turns on our democratic-republican allies, and embraces socialist like Chavez, Putin, Castro, etc. etc. etc?
