Nice to know that there are politicians that actually care about the people. Just because Putin isn’t politically correct in his methods doesn’t mean that he isn’t good in many ways for Russia.

Putin has the executive acumen of a sandlot bully.

Not exactly rule of law, but I like it.

Can you imagine Obama sending Secretary Chu to the gulf to live on a leaking oil rig until it’s fixed?

Or putting Bloomberg in a garbage truck with a plow on it until the NY streets are cleared?

We can’t even get our congress critters to live by the rules of normal citizens (the unwashed masses)!

If only Putin could deal with Duke Energy like this...

Len-in Made of Knowledge
Stal-in Made of Steel
Yelts-in Made of Compassion
Put-in Made of Action

It’s all in the stage name.

I’d issue similar instructions. As I mentioned, Russia is a corrupt country and many high officials live like feudal lords concerned for their own well-being rather than looking out for the interests of the people they serve. That’s not going to change anytime soon there.

It's amazing how some FReepers can rage endlessly against mostly conservative politicians that sometimes make political compromises, then turn around and throw kisses at a murderous communist dictator.
