SOCHI SCENE: Team Putin USA?

SOCHI, Russia – Russia's president. The USA House. And one very well-placed pin.

Vladimir Putin was just spotted in the USA House at the Sochi Olympics. On his left lapel was a Team USA pin.

Does that mean he'll be rooting for the Americans in their hockey game against Russia on Saturday night? Don't bet on it.

But check out these photos of the scene.
