It really doesn't matter.

You are still citing Russian propaganda as if it is representative of worldwide opinion, you are still acting as if your opinion of Obama is the dominant opinion, and your praise of Russia is discordant. I can't imagine that you actually approve of Putin's actions. Understand them, yes. But approve of them? So citing the propaganda they are using to defend their actions because that propaganda criticizes President Obama suggests your hatred of Obama outweighs any other considerations.

In regards to what the Russian Deputy PM tweeted, it actually IS. What Obama did clearly showed a complete lack of critical thinking, and as such was perceived by much of the entire world as a joke.

I actually know who said what.

Finn remarked in a post about your praise of Putin. He didn't say worship at all. And you replied:

"I said he's playing world class chess. One's enemy can play world class chess. That doesn't mean one worships one's enemy. Why do I have to explain this to you? Are you so far gone that logic has fled?"

YOU brought up "worship". All Finn remarked upon was your praise of Putin. You then used the word "worship". Which prompted my remark about praise being equated with worship. And you've accused liberals of "worshipping" Obama in past posts, just because they supported Obama in some way. I realize that Finn ran with this concept. But I did not.

You're under-informed, as usual.

I, and then Finn in reply to me, said:

You commie worship is ridiculous.

Pull yourselves together folks. Don't side with the enemy.
You clearly can't follow a simple discussion. Perhaps you should bow out, gracefully.

Bottom line is the world thinks Obama is a huge joke.

And based on past actions, he is.

Your overwhelming displays of "respect" for the commies crosses the line and becomes worship / praise.

I understand you are simply infatuated by Putin, but you need to pick the right side. Pick USA.

I always pick the USA.

But you have to admire Putin's sense of timing. Weak-assed POTUS+weak-assed EU and Britain= opportunity for expansion.

I admire nothing about commies. That's your game, not mine. Besides, it was not his timing, it was the timing of the Ukrainian protestors. We have had the same president for over five years, and EU is not any stronger or weaker than before.

You admire bullies and call US weak, and yet somehow people are supposed to believe you always pick US. You picked poorly on this one.

You really have no clue. Russia's Deputy PM publicly ridiculed Obama on twitter, TWICE, and deservedly so. Putin didn't act so ridiculously incompetent as to draw such derision, so he justly garners more global respect than does Obama.

Nothing could be further from the truth. I strongly dislike Putin. That does not change the fact that he is FAR more capable and competent than Obama.

Why are you thinking in such puerile terms? Are you very young?
