Obama Says Putin is Suspicious About U.S.

Obama says Putin has a practical bent and is not sentimental in his view of the world.
On Palin, Obama says she has a fiercely loyal constituent and he respects her decision to do what's best for her family.
On Joe Biden's "misreading" of the economy, Obama said the administration didn't misread, rather they didn't have all the information. 
On Michael Jackson, he said historically, black entertainers and sports figures have helped to create a comfort level with African Americans.
Obama also spoke to Jake Tapper on GMA this morning. Jake asked about the focus on Michael Jackson's memorial and Obama said that's the way it is. Soon everyone will get back to thinking about nuclear weapons.
I don't know about that. Americans like being distracted and in the dark. It's why we get candidates like Sarah Palin, who tout "values."
