Interesting enough and I do have to mention this, even though it does not help my point:
In NYC the new people that I love to meet is recent immigrants from the Russian world. And they do seem to be inspired for Obama. I did elect Obama and re-elect Obama for this specific purpose. Even in Talking to people in Moscow, Obama does inspire people.
There are dead and injured people in Ukraine because of Obama's foreign policy. This one is for the history books, his image does inspire people and his falier cost life and misery. To tell you the truth had Obama been white I would have impeached him long ago, but I do need his legacy to inspire people across the world and also future generations.
Insults to Obama are all you have posted so far. I guess that means you do not have logic or facts on your side. BTW, you did not give an answer; you expressed your opinion.
Get back to me when Obama logs onto City Data and makes some sort of argument and I respond to him with silly nonsense, logical fallacy, and pointless insult. When he does then you might actually have a point. Clearly you don't understand the difference between that, and commentary about him as President.
As for your other point, I never said that I wasn't giving opinion.
What is a "rightie"? I voted for Obama in '08. Doesn't mean I can't call him out for being a complete failure.
Sure you did. You're posting history is public so you'll understand that I'll just call you out and say that's false so we can just move along....
Moving along...

As for the rest.
That was a cute lil meme. In reality, there's really not much outside racism/islamophobia/ignorance to explain why so many people think America became such a lousy country in very early 2009 when Obama took office.
This is an increasingly global world with a lot tougher competition now, even 15 years ago was different. China's slump makes us slump. EU's slump makes us slump. Russia's slump is making them more irrational. Getting tough out there yo.
Dear Heart, this is why I don't do battle of the web links. If you can't argue a point with your own words, then you have no point.
...and that poll clearly asked a different question than the poll I posted. It also confirmed, somewhat, my point. You mentioned *global* opinions of both leaders so I posted a *global* poll. Your source asked *people in the United States* who was the stronger leader, Obama or Putin. While a clear majority viewed Putin as being a stronger leader than Obama, Putin's favorability rating in that poll mirrored the one I posted. If strong is defined as aggressively throwing your weight around, then I can definitely concede that Putin is a stronger leader than Obama.
Other than being a bit of an insult to monkeys, it is just criticism. He's given Obama other criticism.
Such as the Obama going on about Edward Snowden. "Obama is like someone trying shear a pig for wool. Lot's of squealing, but little to show for it."
(American Blacks constantly screaming "racism" has no credibility on the world stage. The rest of the world wonders why the rest of America puts up with such a very coddled overly entitled group going on and on about nothing while walking around in $250 clown shoes.)

I think all immigrants have a bit of a confusion. They are not able to distinguish US (and it's greatness) within the US borders and US and it's horrible deeds outside of the US borders. It's not unlike the Roman Empire. Back in the 1st Century, Rome was a great Empire. If you were a Roman, and you lived in Rome, things were going great for you. You had protections that were practically unheard of anywhere else in the world at that time (unless my history knowledge fails me on that point). But, if you went outside of Rome, especially if you were not a Roman citizen, then good luck starting alive and keeping your wealth from the Romans. When those boys come knocking, you better flee on time.
I see parallels to this in the US. US is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, country in the world to live in. But, US also causes millions deaths worldwide due it's ambitions and perhaps in part to keep it's greatness within it's borders. This double-sidedness confuses people, I think. Most immigrants I know think that if you are criticizing the US foreign policy, then you must somehow hate the US and, conversely, you show your love for the US by liking everything the US does in the world.
The TV tells us to hate their president. In reality more people hate our president then theirs. I mean we are not doing so hot in the leadership department.
It is political. American media and Western Media (which is dominated by American Think Tanks and NGOs) hates Russia, because Russia opposes American Geo-Strategy. If you watch closely, you will notice that the countries who are most hated by American Media (Russia, China, Iran) are exactly those who oppose American Geo-Strategy the most. Those who are a lapdog and essentially a colony of the United States the American Media salivates over. Those are countries like Germany, UK, France, Japan, South Korea, Scandinavian countries and Eastern European countries. Coincident? Hardly.

At least the Putin is a man and he supports his nation. We're stuck with a punk who despises the country that elected him.

I really wish Obama would be more like Putin. Of course that would mean all the GOP Congress would mysteriously meet their demise, and TV would be state run and all programs state-approved, and no one would question Obama on anything because they know they would end up in jail or just be executed, and Obama would become one of the richest men in the world.
Yeah, I wish we had a president like Putin.
