Moscow Airport: Obama

Obama: Obama, in his first comments about Snowden since Russias decision last week, said the move reflected the underlying challenges he faces in dealing with Moscow, according to 660 News. Snowden, an ex-NSA systems analyst, is accused of leaking details about highly-secretive government surveillance programs. He spent several weeks in the transit zone of a Moscow airport before being granted asylum for a year and BURBANK, Calif. President Barack Obama said Tuesday that he was disappointed that Russia had granted temporary asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, defying Obama administration demands that the former government contractor be sent back to the U.S. to face espionage charges. There have been times where they slip back into Cold War thinking and a Cold War mentality, Obama said during an interview with NBCs The Tonight Show. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
