The question my Russian wife has posed to me!!

When the political seasons have heated up in the 16+ years we have been married there is one question she has asked me many times. "Why does this country have no leaders??"

As you ponder that statement I would add that when she was listening to Obama speak, clear back before he had won the nomination, she turned to me and said, "Todd, he is a Communist!!"

I thought she had zero clue what she was talking about. I guess I should have realized a Russian woman would know far more about Commies than I ever would.

    ask her what she thought about Ronald Reagan as a leader ?

    my OPINION is he was the last true leader this country has had in "modern times"

    Julia would have been 8 years old when RR was elected so I'm guessing she knows little about Reagan and his Presidency. But later I will ask her.

    Julia is from Kazan. In two weeks, her mother and step-father will be coming for six months, the length of their visa.

    What!?! You are saying, six months!!!! OMG!! Your In-laws coming for six months? Are you insane?!?

    Nope!! My wife wont show her butt in front of her mother and Nickoli works as a mason and carpenter in Russia so he takes care of my honey do list. They don't speak English, I don't speak Russian. Six months of total peace and bliss!![:D]

    I speak from experience. This is visit number six, all for six months. I would move them in permanently if I could!!
