Orwell was right about socialism...some pigs are more equal than others.
$70 billion? I guess $69 billion wasn’t enough.
I can only imagine that it's an ego thing.
Connections do pay off it’s why hacks get into the business it’s why they took down most of the Mafia.
I wonder how much of that is skimmed from Russian phishers.
Where are all the Putin loving trolls now ?
.
read this lovely summary about the thug.

Where are the Putin trolls worried about marginalizing this poor evil tyrant ?
I'm convinced that Obama extracted billions from those guys.
Problem we have is that Obama ain’t no Reagan. He is a weak equivalent to Putin.
Most people do not like Putin, but they recognize the fact that the US is no longer a free country any more than Russia is.
Leaving the question, which of the two do you not follow—Russia or the United States?
I’m not convinced that Obama is smart enough to do that.
Dictators always steal billions. Whether they live to spend them is another matter.
Long-lost cousin Vlad will be getting a birthday card from me this year...
Putin is a KGB monster .
For you to try to justify Putin’s reign of terror
in Russia is bizarre.
Putin hates the US and you too !
Obama is a puppet of some leftist rich bagman not a monster wanting to
Putin is ugly dangerous creature Read all about the thugs now in charge in
eastern Ukraine.

It can get you one of these
I think these Paulbots have lost it.
Putin would that useful in a prison with the rest of his political enemies.
Aside from being ruthless like a Bond villain, he is also one smart ruskie.
I think it’s a good idea to take him lightly...you know, because he is a silly Russian.
Methinks that would be a mistake.
Most people do not like Putin, but they recognize the fact that the US is no longer a free country any more than Russia is.
Not everything is about the kenyan. Moral equivalence trash belongs at the DUmp.
It’s a far, far stretch but this somehow reminds me of the man who became governor of Alabama (I think the year of the election was 1948), Big Jim Folson, also known as “Kissing Jim” because of all the babies—not babes, you understand—that he kissed while campaigning.
Big Jim told the Alabama electorate that they should understand that he planned to steal from them but they also were assured that he was going to build a lot of rural roads for them.
He kept both promises.
He did not steal it per se. But when they were nationalizing he gas concerns, the oligarchy cut him off a piece here and there. As those pieces grew he was able to buy or have himself granted larger and larger pieces of the pie.
And when you look at his movements in Ukraine, most of the strategy has to do with controlling gas lines from the Middle East to Europe.
Imagine Obama owning a 20% of the holding company that owned the keystone pipeline. Imagine what that would do to the process.
Word on the street is that Carter and his crew wanted to set up a similar deal in ‘79 and the Shah told him to go back and suck peanuts. Look how that worked out.
When a reason given is “nationalistic and patriotic” it’s crap.
