My dad lives in an area in Brooklyn that is now mostly inhabited by Russians. They too have fled, although, many have come to milk the systems here, but that a story for another thread. I cannot understand how the ones that remain, allow Putin to rule the roost. There is the corruption factor as I've truly never seen a more corrupt minded populace.

If Putin were here, he would most definitely be a member of the GOP.

It's simple really...if you want to win a Russian presidential election, you need to speak ill of the USA. The Russian people loathe our government.

But it has not stopped the ones that migrate here from milking it and setting up the largest Mafia presence that this country has ever seen.

Keep up the good work. Obama will lavish you with all kinds of handouts for your loyal service to him!

Of course not, because Putin didn't say anything about Obama. It was you who somehow tried to link something to the President. Not the linked article, not any other poster, just you.

Is reading comprehension not a strength of yours or does the ODS you suffer from impair your cognitive abilities?

So talking about America has nothing to do with it's leadership?

LOL

Keep posting....I love a good laugh...especially on Fridays!

FYI- Historically in this country the mafia was heavily entrenched with the Democrats and unions. Heck, the departing Whitehouse chief of staff (Daley)...and his family are entrenched in mob ties in Chicago pre-dating the civil rights marches.

I know you like Putin to a republican but there is very little difference between reps and dems.

Truman got into office with the help of the pendergrast machine in KC.....we could go on and on and on....

Ah yes, because the frontrunners for the GOP nomination are so trustworthy. We all know that Gingrich is a man of such high moral and ethical standards. Interesting thing is that if nothing else, the right has not been able to attack Obama on his fidelity and integrity to his wife and family. Must be burning their butts. Lets' consult with Bush about Putin, after all, he did look into the guy's soul

Better brace yourself, Obama will most likely be in The Oval Office for another term.

I'm not talking about the Italian Mafia. I'm talking about the Russian Mafia. After years of witnessing what has transpired as they migrated down from Brighton Beach (Moscow on The Hudosn) into other areas of Brooklyn, I could write a book. The corruption and crime I am referring to has nothing to do with unions or political parties.
