I really don't know how some people can admire Putin. It's a real mystery to me because the guy has crippled his own country during his leadership. Maybe some people get the hots because he takes off his shirt, I don't know. It's weird - that's for sure.
Why does that sound like admiration to you? Yeah, I think his style of leadership is enhanced by showing people that oppose him what he can do to them, no matter where they are. The opposite of George Washington, who is the leader to be admired through the ages. Don’t you suppose Barack Obama’s in your face use of the IRS is the same kind of calculation that drives Putin?
