It was mostly in response to the anti-gay laws being created there, that some American anti-gay activists are helping with (see Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage). Bryan Fischer was one of the louder voices, calling him a "Lion of Christianity." This opinion piece by Ed Kozak even acknowledges the incongruity.

Yeah, he's a real stud muffin. He'd look better if there was a feedbag placed over his head.

Given the choice between the two communists you mention, Putin would be the obvious choice.

He was elected.....like Obama.....so then you won't mind if I call Obama a dictator.

I like Putin. He stands up to the US and encourages the non-Aligned States like Serbia and India et al to stand up to American and stop being steam-rolled for resources so American can continue the quest to become Borg-like Locusts and consume everything on Earth all-the-while-screaming Population Control!

Geo-politically...
