Bush concerned by Russia freedoms

[trogdor1289]

I had to correct myself the reason it says "Bush concerned by Russia freedoms" is because that was CNN's title really as my eariler post states he was concerned by the lack thereof.

Dude insults Russia, Putin disses Mr. Bad Shot, Bush looks an idiot by being concerned, and what happens next is all in the future.

lol, thanks for your useless input what was it he was concerned about since you know what he is concerned about?

Crawley try to be constructive.

Excuse you read what he wrote before you tell ME to be constructive.

[trogdor1289]

Okay then everyone try to be constructive. Also to clear everything up the article stated "I think our job is to continue to remind Russia if she wants to continue to have good relations she needs to share common values". However me being stupid I only skimmed the article and so I decided to use CNN's headline of "Bush concerned by Russia freedoms", which is confusing when taken out of context.

G.W. is down with the lingo!

You guys are still missing a bit of context that will help clear this up more:

"I've expressed my opinion to President Putin," Bush said. "You might remember my visit with him in Slovakia, where I was quite pointed in my concerns about whether or not there is a free and vibrant press in Russia.


"We share concerns about the ability for people to go to the town square and express their opinion and whether or not dissent is tolerated, whether or not there's active political opposition."

And, by the way, CNN wanted you to do a double take when you read that, IMO. Perhaps it was simply a poor choice of title... but knowing CNN, I doubt it. They are already trying to play the current mideast crissis as a failure of Bush's...
