Global Economic Summit: Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Snubbed Marine

Washington Times

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was the only one out of two dozen leaders whose security would not allow U.S. Marines to open the door to his limousine for him.
That Marine should be damn proud. teh.
Each of the leaders was delivered by limousine to the foot of a six-step staircase covered with a red carpet, where Mr. Bush stood waiting at the top of the stairs.

For every leader but one, a U.S. Marine in a dress blue uniform at the foot of the stairs opened the limousine door. The leaders then greeted Mr. Bush at the top of the steps, posed for a photo and walked into the White House with the president.

President Medveded, our Marines don't operate like the KGB.
