You should really read this piece from the Baptist Press by Kelly Boggs in Alexandria, Louisiana.
“Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values,” Russian President Valdimir Putin said in his state of the nation address in mid-December, The Washington Times reported.”
“Putin continued, “Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation.”

What path has Obama set for us?
Anyone who believes a word that comes out of Putin's mouth is a credulous fool.
It looks like Putin might have a Freeper cargo cult in the works here, much like the DUers and lefties talk about how great Castro and Chavez were.
Also, maybe you should open up your pocket Constitution and tell me where the President of the United States has constitutional authority to regulate pro athletics and marketing.
