The Obamas Dine With The Medvedevs At Gorki Residence: Sausages and Freedom On The Menu

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama dined with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and his wife Svetlana at the presidential residence in Gorki this evening. Gorki is a suburban neighborhood outside of downtown Moscow, and the presidential residence is a park-like compound. President Medvedev gave the Obamas a tour of the grounds, which include a helicopter landing pad, an underground bunker, a swimming pool and tennis courts.

Inside the residence, a robotic cat was present, and it took tiny, secret digital photos with the camera inserted in its tail (below).
