    Vladimir Putin calls it "right and brave." John McCain says it is "seriously misguided." President Obama's decision not to locate a missile shield in Eastern Europe. What are the military consequences? What about Iran? Is it time for a "new beginning" for relations with Russia? Also, The soft sell of First Lady Michelle Obama, and Congress has de-funded ACORN. Are the videotapes all that they seem?
