It is bizarre to see Americans worship a thug like Putin.
The issue isn't loving Putin's bad self. The issue is what makes Putin's approval ratings so high. For example, I happen to think decisive action in a leader is a good thing just like the people in Russia. That Putin makes decisions and people in Russia love him for it can be compared to Obama taking forever on a lot of issues and annoying the heck out of people on both the right and the left.
In general: "President Barack Obama's former top adviser conceded that voters in 2016 may be fed up with Obama's dithering and want a president who projects a sense of certainty. “Even when a president is popular, people tend to seek the remedy and not the replica. They want someone who has the qualities that they miss in the president,” Axelrod said during a Thursday Wall Street Journal event. "
On Keystone:" It’s official: A bipartisan majority of Congress backs the Keystone XL pipeline, which would transfer oil-like bitumen from vast reserves in Alberta, Canada, to Gulf Coast refineries. Though Keystone supporters on Tuesday fell one short of the 60 senators needed to force a final vote on a pro-pipeline measure, the message to President Obama is clear: Five years of dithering is enough. "
On Syria: "There is a real price to be paid for the time this president has taken deliberating — it's paid in greater risk of attacks on us, narrower options, more fragile allies and deep resentment from the people most exposed to the consequences of this barbarism. "
On ISIS: "A pair of possible 2016 Republican presidential candidates attacked President Obama’s blunt admission that he does not yet have a strategy to counter ISIS militants in Syria, just as the White House tried to clarify the president’s intention."
On Foreign Policy: “The president had a truly disturbing habit of funneling major foreign policy decisions through a small cabal of relatively inexperienced White House advisers whose turf was strictly politics,” Mr. Vasr writes in “The Dispensable Nation: American Foreign Policy in Retreat.” Specifically, Mr. Vasr charges the White House with purposely cutting out Mr. Holbrooke and then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton from the foreign-policy decision-making process. “At times it appeared the White House was more interested in bringing Holbrooke down than getting the policy right,” writes Mr. Nasr, who was part of Holbrooke’s “AfPak” policy team. “Obama was dithering. He was busybodying the national security apparatus by asking for more answers to the same set of questions, each time posed differently,” writes Mr. Nasr of the months-long review."
On immigration (to show you it bothers left and right): "President Barack Obama has one person to blame for looking indecisive, dithering and cowed by bungled political calculations: Barack Obama. He’s the one, after all, who strode into the Rose Garden on June 30 to announce that America couldn’t wait forever on immigration reform and pledging to move forward with a set of executive actions “before the end of summer.” This is a reoccurring theme for Obama: repeatedly delivering bold speeches that set dazzlingly high bars for action, then slowly backpedaling into a muddle and letting the issue — and his poll numbers — fade away. From his 2008 campaign pledge to ban lobbyists in his administration to the speech he gave at the Newtown memorial service saying he was finally going to do something significant about gun control, Saturday’s announcement was another little splinter in the heartbreak for many Obama true believers."
On ISIS beheading: "Dithering by Barack Obama was alleged last night to have doomed a last-ditch attempt to rescue British hostage David Haines and US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff. US commandos started to plan the mission in June, calculating that they could land in Syria, kill the terrorists and evacuate the hostages in 20 minutes. Mr Obama and his defence secretary, Chuck Hagel, then took two days to approve the raid, a government official charged. When the commandos landed, the hostages had been moved."
On nominating Larry Summers and Susan Rice:" For his remaining time in office, Obama might try the simple, old-fashioned way of governing: When you want someone in a job, nominate that person and fight for them, or don’t nominate them. Drop the bomb you say you’re going to drop; don’t just threaten. Obama’s slap-happy decision-making process always causes collateral damage. Summers didn’t survive it; neither did Rice. "
What makes you think people in this thread are on there knees worshipping putin?
Does a leader who makes decisive decisions, bad? No matter who or where they are from?
As for getting off your knees...you are your crowd have nothing to talk about...you've been there for about 6 years....and some are still slobbering....
I've said it before, I'll say it again, conservatives and wingnuts love Putin and want a dictator in charge of this country. They don't want to be involved in the decision making process, don't want to have to think, they want someone to tell them how to think, how to live, and what to believe in.
Plus I'm fairly certain they all luved them the shirtless horseback photos, gave them all a tingle up their legs.

Do you know any Russian people? Ask them what they think about Putin. The Iraqi's 'loved' Saddam Hussein too. The soviets 'loved' Stalin, and the Germans loved Hitler. Things aren't as well in mother Russia as the media lets you believe.
God I wish we had Putin as President. America would be unstoppable with a real man at the helm again.
Lol…..
(You're awesome dude)

This.
Putin would be a great leader for the right wing here - a land-grabbing, war mongering bigot with dictatorial tendencies. He does the thinking for them and gives them something to be united against.
