And the media doesn't report that it's standard operating procedure for an incoming official to begin talks with their counterparts in other countries.
And the media has conveniently "forgotten" that then Sen. Obama not only sent his guy to Russia before the election even happened, but also did a"world tour" and met with a dozen or so leaders to discuss policy changes he would make...all while he was still just a candidate for President.
Not only is it standard operating procedure, but it's smart to do.
