Yep. I don't respect Obama either, however, this is just low and reflects badly on the leadership of that country. They have different values over there for a display like this to get a go ahead.

Yet the wacky left did this to Bush, Reagan, Nixon over and over and over in their own country. I guess we can excuse that, right?

Both men in my opinion can stand to deep down, learn the meaning of what respect means, not just for media stints, but practice what respect means and often.

I find what Putin did, disgusting, I still have my feelings about Obama, but that was just wrong.
This is sensible. One can disagree with the policies of President Obama without resorting to childish, bigoted behavior. But this is not surprising. Similar things have happened in the USA. It would not surprise me to hear about it happening in Russia.

No, I am not kidding. Because that laser display is utterly bigoted. What else is a person to think if one sees an image of President Obama swallowing a banana whole?

The bold is what I have been trying to say. Anyone who would agree with something like that, I can only assume that person has a deep level of bigotry.

Disagreeing with the President and being okay with someone making bigoted imagery of the President are two different things. If you disagree with the President, okay then. If a person finds bigoted imagery like that displayed in Moscow funny or agrees with it, I am going to believe said person has deep reserves of bigotry. What else do you expect me to think?

Or is it the first thing that goes through your mind when you see a black male eating one?
The only thing I gather from this statement is an attempt to deflect from the subject.

That was wrong too. However, we are not talking about former President Bush or the late former President Nixon. We are talking about the laser display of President Obama in Moscow.

And this is the irony of it. Russia lost more people fighting the Nazis than any other nation in Europe. Hitler considered Slavic people to be sub-human. For more information:
