It's only a start, just wait and see what Putin does after Obama is actually in the White House.
The very fact that Putin intends to reelect himself president even without giving Medvedev the courtesy of a full term just demonstrates his arrogance. It's like he's daring the EU or Obama to make an issue of his power grab.
Oh, and I agree with StatesRights about the extent of GMantis's pro-Kremlin spinning. "I don't believe that the Russians were behind Litovenko's poisoning." Do you expect anyone to actually believe that??
