>"Now, Russia gives Snowden temporary asylum, so in retaliation, Bush.... sorry, Obama cancels meeting with Putin" Oh ho ho, what a clever ruse, pretending to confuse Bush with Obama. >Or US politics could grow up. The US gov could admit over reach. It could thank Snowden and hail a new era of openness. Your command of politics and reality is astounding.

"Oh ho ho, what a clever ruse, pretending to confuse Bush with Obama." Firstly, I actually did. Bush went through my mind as I was typing. I realized as I was typing. I was about to delete back, but I thought it was quite interesting to leave the typo. Also, I often do leave typos. Sometimes they say more than what I intended. No, not a normal thing to do and perhaps confusing to the reader, agreed. And yes, it makes me weird. Next... from a UK perspective, Bush and Obama are both "far" (not trying to align US "right" with the fascist notion of "far right") right in comparison to the main UK right wing party. From my POV, Bush and Obama are(1) essentially the same. From my perspective the US simply does not have a "left". Just "far" right and even more right. Its an extreme right wing country. The US has no left of center political party at all, let alone socialist, and heaven forbid, communist. Understand, I make no value judgement there. The US being an extreme capitalist right country is required to balance with extreme left countries like Russian and China. You final part is sadly mere childish ignorant assumptive insult. I'll leave you to that. (1)BTW, see that word "are"? I slipped and typed "asre" by mistake. Nearly "arse". Had that been mis-typed as "arse" I might well have left it in. See how my insanity works? See the mystical power of the typo? Definitely something Freudian going on there, right?
