1. Putin meeting is upcoming, Tillerson still hopes to facilitate oil deals

but most people don't quit their job just because they get upset at the boss. If they did unemployment would be at about 100%.

they are doing wrong. reminds me of Rove tactics - pick your worst flaw and then accuse your opponent of it first. It works - because you get the low info people who never hear the truth later - they just hear your original accusation and it sticks.
