“How Screwed-Up Is It That I HATE Our President While Increasingly Nodding in Agreement with Putin?”
Perhaps it’s because he’s speaking an obvious (to us) truth that our president ignores. Perhaps it’s because Putin’s words indicate he sees the same reality we see. Perhaps Obama’s words indicate he sees a false world of pretty rainbows, tweeting bluebirds, unicorns and free universal health care, free phones, free, free, free stuff.
One reflects a sustainable, safer reality and the other a fantasy that will come to no good end when it runs out of other people’s money.
Wow. Russia is looking more and more like a place to move to......in some ways - of course not all.
Putin is a real man, whereas Obumbo is...God only knows what.
Well join the club. Putin is anti-muslim. Obama is a muslim. Putin is a man. Obama is a fruitcake. Putin is smart. Obama is dumb. Should I go on?
Putin is the best ruler Russia has ever had since Tsar Peter; Bork Obunga is the worst leader any advanced state has ever had since Nero. All you’re seeing here is a heavy dose of reality.
It’s good to hate what Obama is trying to do to the country and what he stands for.
But it is good to check your view of Putin by remembering he’s a master propagandist who doesn’t see the world the way you do and isn’t looking for Americans to win. He’s still a cold warrior at heart, and while you respect his steely, manipulative intelligence, it is good to remember that he wants what Obama wants—not what’s good for our country.
It is part of his talent to make you see him as more on your side than on Obama’s side.
I believe most Americans would agree that if any immigrant comes to this country, they should do so legally , Learn to speak English and study to become a citizen. There is no reason for me dialing a phone and being asked if I speak English.
Any others we do not need.
We Christians are to blame (imo) for not doing what we were supposed to do ... that being going out two by two ... thus America is being chastened for our neglect .. EZ 3:18
I can understand disliking Obama but this hero-worship of Putin is baffling. To paraphrase another Freeper, the enemy of my enemy can still be my enemy. And make no doubt about it, Putin is no friend of the U.S.
Cuz yer a putz....like me.
Putin on the Ritz with Osetria Caviar and Crystal Rose Champagne.
Putin/Cruz 2016.../s
Putin likes Russia and wants to make it better.
Obama hated the USA and wants to “fundamentally transform it” in his image of what it should be.
This is about more than Obama. Bush would not have made such a speech as Putin’s either. It’s really about how the west let itself be conquered by political correctness.
Obama hates America, which is why he is “fundamentally transforming” it.
He IS the enemy, which is why we find him siding with America’s enemies and destroying long held alliances.
I agree with you. I hate that SOB more than you know. Though maybe you like Putin more because he’s everything our Faux president is not.Though I never would have expected a dictator to be running things in the United States so soon.
A real dichotomy.
Obama sees his role as advancing a one world government where the voice, power and prestige of all the western nations is greatly reduced. He’d probably consider at top position of the UN as a greater honor and more prestigious than POTUS. He doesn’t believe in his oath of office and is therefore treasonous and below contempt.
Putin may be megalomanic, ruthless, and power hungry (aren’t they all?) and motivated to patriotism primarily to advance his personal power, but at least does want to see his country strong, influential, and a force to respected, and if it comes to it, downright feared.
USA has momentum towards atheist socialism. Exactly what the soviets were trying to do.
Russia has momentum towards a Christianized free market. Exactly what the USA was trying to accomplish.
Momentum can be reversed but it would take something drastic since so many of our citizens are programmed into socialism.
Strange times...
Obama is not my President. He may be yours, but he is not mine.
I'm a free man.
I have no use for Obamas or Putins.
