This article is a masterpiece of disinformation. The White house is "stumped", because the Russians are pissed off when the US goes around the world trying to choke off its economy. I wonder why?

U.S. Frustrated by Putin’s Grip on Power -

"Mr. Putin’s surprise suggestion last month that he might yet remain in power — possibly as a newly empowered prime minister, possibly as the eminence atop the “party of power” — has left the White House stumped.
The administration is uncertain how to deal with a man who has consolidated power almost exclusively in his own hands, even as Mr. Bush continues to call Mr. Putin “my friend.”
That is why a certain discomfort regarding Mr. Putin’s future hovered over two days of talks here attended by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates."
