President Putin or President Obama?

Who would you rather have as our president if Putin was a USA citizen (tee-hee) and regarded the United States as his homeland with the same zeal that he leads his Mother Russia.

    Dr Zarkov, hopefully, it will be just a cold war. I was a teenager in 1963 and the Cuban missile crisis pushed us to the brink. No shots were fired and no bombs were dropped, but, it still was close. Putin has raised the stakes considerably with his air strikes and by telling us to stay out of the air. I am fearful of this escalating except for the fact that Obama won't stand up to the neighborhood bully. Still, if he thinks doing nothing will hurt his "Legacy" The s*** could hit the fan.

    I agree. At least our leader would stick up for the USA if it were Putin. I have to have respect for Putin at least for what he does for Russia. Not so much for his KGB upbringing. Then again, Obama's arrogance and petulance tells me he would do very bad things if he wasnt worried about political correctness.

    This came about after the 60 minutes interview with Putin. He is so much more a leader with class than Obama it pains me to have Obama as president. Philosophically, the two are the same. Both have had thousands killed in phony wars and invasions and internal "cleaning up". Obama hides things just like Putin, but is restrained more by our laws. As a person, Obama would ax you out just as fast as Putin if you went against him.

    That said, Putin would not be so bad if restrained by our laws, and if he stuck up for the USA in foreign relations like he does now for Russia. He wouldnt go into war without something to gain from it at least. Obama squanders trillions of our money on nonsensical wars for no gain.

    Putin is very smart, has charisma, really believes in and sticks up for his country and his people. He is aggressive and acquisitive, like in Ukraine and Crimea and now Syria, but then again so is the USA. We attacked Iraq, Afghanistan, and countless other countries with military force under the guise (excuse) of preserving democracy, but really to control the world.

    Neither one is into freedom for the people, and neither is philosophically based.

    As to the number of people each has killed or had killed, I think it would be about even when you consider the military actions each has engaged in.

    Foreign affairs-wise, Putin is the winner by FAR. Obama makes the USA look like a bunch of fools.

    Overall, I would take Putin assuming he had the same feelings about the USA that he does about Russia now. Could hardly be worse.

    Not sure of accuracy, but it's a pretty big bodycount piling up for the Clintons... It doesn't mention some of the obvious stuff though, Vince Foster was left handed, shot himself with his right hand (weird.). And seems weird he would kill himself anyway over having guilt about firing some staffers... I've fired lots of people, I feel shitty for a day or two, then I'm over it. He may have been the only man-toy that Hillary ever had (I really think she's a lesbo deep down with those pants-suits).

    His clone would be considered a radical by the Dems and RINOs alike.
    Oops, but that's a reason why King George would hang the clone's host.

    Putin is a very smart man, the 0 just thinks he is. Putin is a thug, a murderer and a mega loiter, and possibly the richest man in the world. Like freedom said, a thug by any other name is still a thug.

    A dictator is a dictator is a dictator.
    A thug is a thug is a thug.
    A looter, ... ok you get the idea.
    Why not imagine Thomas Jefferson is dug up and cloned from the dna in his teeth instead?
