But Putin chose a Jew to be the next President: Medvedev. R U sure Medvedev is a Jew?? According to the wikipedia... he is Russian,and a Russian Orthodox Christian. He doesen't look Jewish at all to me. Doesen't sound like it either. Wikipedia also says he is a big hard rock fan and his favorite bands are Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple, rock on! :rofl Now I realize wikipedia is not always the most accurate source, but if someone is Jewish it will usually tell you on there.
