Russian Reset

"The Russian Reset to Nowhere   Putin schools Obama in the lessons of history.      Rich Lowry
The "reset" with Russia had a brief, unhappy life. It began with then-secretary of state Hillary Clinton presenting her Russian counterpart with a .... reset button ..... a geopolitical initiative that has been exposed as willful naïveté and strategic obtuseness from the beginning?"

A big mistake  -  so similar to the President's effort to reach out to Republicans, who turned out to place destroying Obama's presidency above benefiting the country.
