President-elect Putin protects and preserves Russia's national heritage.

During a scheduled meeting of the Russian government today, President-elect Putin announced his intent to increase funding for museums in Russia.

Funds will be directed towards repairs, upgrades and reconstruction of almost 9000 building displaying and storing museums unique collections.

Also, these directed funds will be spent on actual restoration and further preservation of museum inventory.

At the time when the rest of Europe is barely avoiding financial collapse, President-elect Putin, in an unprecedented move, is planning to increase the current annual expenditure by four fold, preserving Russia’s national heritage for future generations!

Who is the dictator now?

While accusing President-elect Putin of "dictatorship" in Russia, an arrogant and hostile President Obama publicly challenges the US Supreme Court authority!?

A former constitutional law professor is obviously losing faith in the Constitution of the United States, seperation of powers and role of the Judiciary!?

Maybe President Obama could be better off in charge of Russia?

Maybe we are ready for President swap and should have President Putin come to US and make sure everyone pays their fair share of taxes?

President Putin at least will respect the integrity and independence of the Supreme Court!

Putin brings real democracy to Russia.

In a recently published article in Passport Magazine ,Mr. Jon Hellevig, a lawyer from Finland who has worked and lived in Russia since the beginning of 1990’s, defends President-elect Putin.

He compares Western Democracy development over a couple of centuries to Democracy in Russia that only came into beingwhen President Yeltsin inherited a “criminal anarchy”.

President Putin's crowning achievement during his two terms as President of Russia was the development of real democratic institutions, does need a defense. He needs admiration and support!

In his recent election campaign, Putin promissed a number of far-reaching liberal changes to the economic laws and laws governing the political system.

 “Putin has already announced significant liberalization of the election laws... We will probably never see a similar liberalization of corresponding US laws, a country where two parties share an eternal monopoly to power”.

The most significant liberalization of the election laws, among them the proposition to further lower the threshold for registering parties with nationwide status.

Accordingly, President Medvedev today, April 3,2012, signed into law the very same proposal of then-candidate Putin.

Immediately thereafter the mass media announced the formation of Gay & Lesbian Political Party—how is that for Russian Democracy!?

The joke is on President Obama

Speaking to a group of Associated Press Editors about 10 minutes ago today, President Obama invited journalists to "record every word and to report it to Vladimir" referring to President-elect Putin.

However, the joke is on President Obama as he is yet to explain his recent comments regarding his "flexibility" on missile defense in Europe during his "next term" ?

President-Elect Putin to form National Guard ?

Today Dmitry Peskov, the Press Secretary for President-elect Putin refuted rumors that a new power structure - National Guard can be created in Russia reporting only to the President.

However, reliable sources site President Putin’s recent meetings with key Generals, specifically with the Commander of the Airborne Forces, Lieutenant-General Vladimir Shamanov, and with the Commander of Interior Forces Army General Nick Rogozhkin rumored to be put in command of the newly formed  Russian National Guard.

National Guard of the US States established with the Militia Act of 1903 under Title 10 and Title 32 of the  U.S. Code, serves as part of the first-line defense for the United States.

Taking a page from an American playbook, this long overdue Russian National Guard will serve the Office of the President to protect and enforce Russian Constitution, and to provide day-to-today political, economic and social stability.

Initially formed from Ministry of the Interior troops, and other existing power structures, including Military Police, it will number between 350,000 to 400,000 troops--mainly (up to 80% ) these will be volunteer contractors.

U.S. Ambassador to Moscow feels "violated"

U.S. Ambassador Michael McFaul says Russian reporters listened in and read his emails. The State Department has complained about harassment to the ambassador.

When the new U.S. ambassador to Russia arrived this week for a private meeting with a prominent human rights activist, he was confronted by a crew from an alleged Kremlin-controlled television station that blocked his path and peppered him with questions.

Despite absence of proof to support his accusations, the new U.S. ambassador to Russia verbally lashed out at NTV journalists accusing them of spying by listening in and reading his emails ?

While scheduling leaks usually come from lowest level embassy employees, Ambassador accused the journalist of violating the Geneva Convention!?
