Media coverage of Vladimir Putin’s dinner last week with the Valdai Club – of which I am a member - has inevitably focused on his remark about Franklin Delano Roosevelt having stood for four terms as President, and this having been (at the time) perfectly in accordance with the US Constitution. Equally inevitably, this was taken as a heavy hint that Putin intends to run again for President in 2012, replacing Dmitri Medvedev.http://en.rian.ru/valdai_op/20100916/160611913.html
