You misinterpreted Gazoo's post entirely. Obama is an enemy of the state, who got elected under false pretenses. He does not like America, particularly white Americans. On the other hand, Putin is what he is. He loves his country, and though I don't aspire to his kind of government, Obama does, and more. If Obama were a dictator in any other country, he would be as bad or worse than the current crop. He goes as far as he thinks he can, but would love to go all the way with his distorted philosophy. In that regard, I would take Putin over Obama any day. I am no red shirt, but just as patriotic as you, and as religious. I love my country and so does Gazoo.
I can get my head around a politician who appears to honestly believe in the things he says he believes in, no matter how much I disagree with those beliefs, than one who lies about their beliefs to my face, while acting in a manner that exposes his lies.
Obama talks out one side of his mouth and governs out of the other, and however one feels about Putin, IMHO, the ONE thing I can say about the guy is that I know exactly what he stands for because he tells us what he stands for, and he owns those stances.
