This is a photo of a friend of mine shaking hands with the President. It comes from a Russian site and I don’t know what the caption says.
You may have heard that Obama was in Russia early this week. One of the things that he did there was speak at the graduation of group of students at the Russian New Economics School.
One of the founders of the school is Barry Ickes, who is an econ professor at Penn State and one of my golfing buddies. Barry and I played golf Friday a week ago, then he left the next day for Russia (he heads over there about once a month) for the school graduation and to meet with Obama. Kind of funny that he has to go all the way to Moscow to meet our President.
