From when Ronald Reagan stood up to the Russians in East Germant and said “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!“

CBS reports that when Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin met with the press after their long private discussion, “The two men barely looked at each other. You could just feel, sort of, the tension between them. And the body language really represented how far apart the two leaders remain on the issue of Syria.”

“It is clear that President Obama did not get an agreement from Russian president Putin [on Syria],” CBS reports.

“And interestingly,” CBS adds, “Apparently President Obama got a bit of a lecture from Putin about some other failed transitions that are going on around the world.”
