Reality check: 84,000 attend Obama speech/ Population of South Ossetia 70,000
CNN:

"In an exclusive interview with CNN's Matthew Chance in the Black Sea city of Sochi on Thursday, (Russian Prime Minister/Czar Vladimir) Putin said the U.S. had encouraged Georgia to attack the autonomous region of South Ossetia . . .

Putin said his defense officials had told him it was done to benefit a presidential candidate. (I wonder who?)

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino blasted Putin's statements, saying they were 'patently false.'

'To suggest that the United States orchestrated this on behalf of a political candidate just sounds not rational,' she said.

U.S. State Department deputy spokesman Robert Wood concurred and labeled Putin's statements 'ludicrous.'"

I don't know . . . You do the math.
