A hamburger lunch is requisite, of course. Fun to see the presidents ordering lunch and interacting at this little mom-n-pop place in Washington D.C . President Medvedev offered to pay for lunch in English, good for him. Soon translator(s) joined them at the table but still his English would be miles ahead of President Obama's Russian. Still, Mr Obama earned a gold star for his efforts. During a joint press conference yesterday, sounded as though the president greeted all with a Russian Dobri dyen, or good day.

As you know, Russian President Dimitry Medvedev is in the US and getting the full dose of Americana.
