Putin may return to Kremlin in '09: report
MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian President Dmitry Medvedev could resign from his
post in 2009 to pave the way for Vladimir Putin to return to the Kremlin,
Vedomosti newspaper reported on Thursday, citing an unidentified source close to
the Kremlin.
Medvedev Wednesday proposed increasing the presidential term to
six years from four years, a step the newspaper said was part of a plan drawn up
by Vladislav Surkov, who serves as Medvedev's first deputy chief of
staff.
Under the plan, Medvedev could implement changes to the constitution
and unpopular social reforms "so that Putin could return to the Kremlin for a
longer period," the newspaper said.
"Under this scenario Medvedev could
resign early citing changes to the constitution and then presidential elections
could take place in 2009," the newspaper said, citing the unidentified source
close to the Kremlinl.
The paper said Putin, who is currently prime minister,
could then rule for two six year terms, so from 2009 to 2021.
The other headline is straight out of Revelation Chapter 13 which I wrote about a few weeks ago.
In Some Nations, People Look to Obama as President of the World
President-elect Barack Obama is being embraced worldwide as a symbol of a new beginning for international relations.
Barack Obama's election on Tuesday set off international celebrations and ignited a fervor for the United States that has been unseen since the days immediately following the September 11, 2001, terror attacks.
To some observers, the international reaction has elevated America's president-elect to an unparalleled post: president of the world.Any thoughts people?
