Maybe the 2 types of Putin haters can find an agreement and the usa can launch a massive war against Russia in the name of gays or something like that.
So everybody hates Putin? Or only the compassionate liberals can "understand" him and hope to work things out.......lol

You, like so many foolish liberals, assume that anyone that doesn't embrace, support, or have only kind words for Obama are on the right. Did it ever once occur to you that there may be a few dems that did not vote for him, don't support him, and share the same opinion as others in that has been a very poor president? That there are democrats who put their faith in him and believed in his "hope and change" have fallen to the wayside and no longer support him?

Just how do you know where I stand? Left, Right, Center, Independent? Hint: Look at my status.

From what I can see people are not praising Putin because clearly he is a certified nut job. Because people are laughing with him as to his treatment of Obama, is not a show of support. Obviously you can't grasp that.
You make very valid points......Putin is a KGB commie and nobody supports him.........he forces people too. That is the problem. Our great leader golfs.

Whether you support him or not, many (not all) on the right seem to applaud him. Evidently those many subscribe to the conceit, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So as much as they might repudiate Putin's actions, as long as those actions impact President Obama in a negative way, then those actions are tolerated, and their perpetrator is applauded.

Well, this is an anonymous forum, but there are some people who said they'd prefer Putin to Obama as President. I think that would be an affirmation. And I've read some posts about Putin dominating Obama, and those posters aren't criticizing Putin, they are criticizing Obama. So that's a form of affirmation as well.

That's a stretch. It's quite clear that Putin is much more respected than Obama, but that doesn't necessarily make that an affirmation of Putin. One can respect their opponent.

It's quite clear that some people respect Putin much more than they respect Obama. And that is clearly an affirmation. Respect is an affirmation.

I think Putin is a fool for taking on more headaches, but whatever, not our problem.
