I find myself slapping myself occasionally, wondering if I would appreciate President Putin more than President Obama. They're both commies - but at least Putin isn't one of these "touchy feely" commies.
Then I realize that I'd rather have an incompetent Commie as president than a competent one.
Either way, Putin is bad ass. He is no one to mess with. When he says somethng, he actually plans to follow through on it. He doesn’t care how many bodies get in the way. Sort of like the Terminator...
Too bad he isn’t one of the good guys. But as a bad guy, I respect him.
